Of course... this type of leverage is for many pairs, thus flattening out the overall risk curve. Sorry if I wasn't more clear to the other poster.

Don,
2 questions
1. If someone had a series 7pm in the past but expired as the 2 year timeline, does he need to retake the s7?
2. I remembered you mentioned clearing through Merrill lynch so you get traders 100% have you ever considered going back to the 100% pay out model again?
Quote from ScalperJoe:
It seems more difficult than going directional and hedging with options, as with "many pairs" you'd have to not only game the appropriate size but also hold it for the correct amount of time in order to capture the delta.
I'm sure it works for some, it's just not my style, but probably worth learning the strategy at some point. Good to know.

Anyone that thinks the 100% payouts by JBO firms will continue is going to have a bad surprise. CBOE, FINRA, Phlx...are all saying high payouts on sub-accounts are a red flag. The accounts look like customer accounts not firm accounts and might be treated that way in the future. That means 4:1 during the day and 2:1 at night.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
