Quote from Don Bright:

Bob was trading between 500 and 5000 contracts per day in 2011. Has switched over to SPY's this year, since we're all trading the the Family "Bright Investments" account vs. Bright Trading accounts. Just a tax/regulatory thing.

All the best,

Don

Were these large e-mini positions in 2011 (now SPY in 2012) a portfolio hedge, or were they speculative trades?

He and I (to a lesser extent) use the basic indicators during the day. Ticks, and listening to Ben Lichtenstein (shameless plug for www.tradersaudio.com) whom my brother will not trade without on a daily basis.

He would buy and sell 50 or 100 lots many time per day, and carry on and trade at 3AM our time as well. Takes advantage of the overnight volatility.

This year, SPY's pretty much the same dollar amounts.

Don
