Sig, you were doing fine until you started ragging on those who worked, paid taxes, served in the armed forces and funded countless charitable organizations for decades. Prejudice is prejudice.

I use Ninja and have cleared through Dorman for years. The only problem I've had was when Mirus wet the bed trying to clone Zenfire about a year and a half ago...otherwise, all good.

When your trading day becomes mundane, you're on your way. Learning new and complex things can be exhausting. And I agree with lugar....incorporate some regular physical activity into your life and watch your diet.

NQ trades about 150k contracts a day while the ES averages a couple million. Slippage issues become relevant much sooner with respect to position size with the NQ vs the ES.

$12.50
