Each time you roll down there *will* be a lost, so as it keeps going down, you will just keep losing. Better cut loss now and move on to options on more stable assets, probabily just commodities now.

Another profitable month like usual when I don't bet on price direction.

Hi Halal Burger, Thanks for the insight. But if the strategies involve mainly statistical arbitrage and options writing on equity, and if I intend to use the same strategies professionally, then how would I use a CTA license? I can't right? =======================================...

What would you do with a short Jul07 BUD 50PUT? BUD is trading pennies above $50 and there are three more trading days to expiration.

Wouldn't a fund or an ibank be able to "lend" you a lot more than a prop firm?

Would a consistently profitable trading record at a prop firm, say places similar to Bright Trading, help me become a pro trader at IBanks and Hedge Funds? If yes, how long of a trading history and how big of a trading account and what type of annual return would they typically look for? Also...

Thanks for the free data then! Answering my own question here for es and 6e, http://www.anfutures.com has the lowest price I can find, $30 for 5 years, minute by minute VOHLC for front month contracts. He's pretty much giving it out for free. Nice website!
