I'll second this. I traded for over 10 years with a prop firm that offered great leverage during the day and overnight. Iirc, owners of the firm...
Thanks drm7, I will look into that as a solution.
Thanks. All things being equal (no contango or backwardation,i.e. flat rollover each month), the cost of a USO 12% OTM 3 months out is about 1%...
