    Tick & Trin...

    TRIN indicates bullish sentiment. Below 1 means bullish. Above 1.20 is bearish. If TRIN gets extremely bearish, a trend reversal is near. TICK is the number of stocks advancing/declining.

    Leverage is the answer. You can much more leverage with future. Which is great and dangerous at the same time.

    Trading is a zero sum game

    Not necessarily. Options are a zero sum game because there is one contract and one buyer and seller for each contract. Stocks tend to appreciate over time and there should be more winners than losers. Some win bigger than others.

    Shorted 1000 QQQ at 25
