What is considered a solid net point capture per contract per day? I'm going to trade YM exclusively to get accustomed.

So on the final day of expiration, or even the day prior, there should be a merging of the two, correct? Therefore a somewhat significant profit opportunity?

I've been looking into the Options on Futures but haven't found any solid explanation / literature on where they're traded, the margin reqs, volume and price fluctuations, etc. I like the idea of capping one's risk but are these liquid enough to provide ample risk/reward opportunity? If I buy...

If I were you, which I'm obviously not, and I was given that access to capital I would take $2,000 and be hyper-risky with it (your Fbook call options, or some other equity or index options). The odds are you'll lose money big here so why not blow your wad on a small % of your overall portfolio...

I agree - it's not a good business model to give someone you don't know 10x their capital and hope they don't lose more than 10%. However, while the opportunity is there I'm going to use it as it's the cheapest line of credit known to man. I'm confident in my abilities and I'm only trading...

the FDIC was created to protect in times of a few bank blowups - not a system-wide issue (not that this is or isn't)

thx for the rapid response, watching now

Mind providing an explanation?

I consider 10:1 with a prop firm very conservative. The ones I've been speaking to have offered 15, 20, 25:1. However, they also wanted me to sign a contract stating any systems, trade ideas, businesses, etc. that I develop while under contract with them was their property, not mine which is...

Goldman's been hiding secrets too. Financials are going to see another drastic leg down. Don't buy at these levels.

the market was oversold and it's option expiration week.
