    Hillary Clinton: Gun Culture 'Way out of Balance'

    1) Only old farts go to banks anymore. They cannot pull a trigger. :D 2) Bank tellers are trained to give small amounts of cash to robbers and be compliant, not combative. The police can have the "liability" of apprehending the robber. :cool:

    1) Instead of "locking up" your money with a prop shop, you might be "locked up" with TopStep in the form of having to sign-off on a non-compete agreement for some duration in order to get your funding. I don't know how "binding" such an agreement is. Officers of the firm and a few funded...

    1) There is "logic" to what you describe but "reality" will be more "volatile". :) 2) Profitable days can be "less than average" which can bring about "duress & heat" to get back "on trend" via increased position sizing and giving more leeway to losing trades. :eek: 3) In a "perfect world"...
