The next day forecast is not your favorable strategy because you do not get decent leverage on stocks or stock index futures.

Please tell me how easy it is to make him $$$ million poorer (as I do not understand that fully) ? So you would trading against with much more money to reverse his winning trades into loosers all day and then how you would make money off from that to finance all this for a longer time (because...
