Questions for Don Bright

Quote from tradingjournals:

How much does he lose per day... on a good day?

Why trade the emini (instead of the big one) if a guy is good and is well capitalized?

Is this a joke question?

08/27/10 SEPT contract volume reported by the CME

big S&P 15,186
emini S&P 2,540,284

Long past time to terminate the S&P pit and give us the big S&P on Globex RTH.
 
Quote from Peternam:

What were those numbers 5 years ago ?

And what relevance are the numbers from 5 years ago ???

Just for fun here is the 08/26/05 SEPT contract volume reported by the CME

big S&P 26,992
emini S&P 576,260

Even 5 years ago the emini was stomping all over the pit.
 
I will say I have no issues with slippage on the ES throughout the day. I trade the EC early in the day and have no slippage there either. Also with volume comes commission discounts which makes it competitive. I would love to get back to equities, and equity options, but so far I can do the same dollar wise in futures. It seems most equity firms aren't fond of simpleton equity traders who use options. Options require a whole new margin knowledge, and dollar commitment for the equity firms on the prop side.
I will also say, and if Don or Mav want to say I'm lazy I won't argue, but I have no desire to study for the damn Series 7. I have sat down and read the material, but I'm making money so the desire to "prove myself" by taking some phony exam just isn't there. I am looking into this Bear Trading to have equity trading going with my futures work, but having a hard time getting info on who they are and if they are a solid firm. For me Bright and Mav's firm do offer a good reputation and they have no issue discussing it. That is worth something in the world of scams these days.
