    I don't believe I could possibly answer your question.
    The markets being what they are, and the fact
    it's impossible to gauge what anyone's P/L might
    be since a hundred different factors influence
    the final outcome.

    This is JMHO, the market does not always follow a 1+1= 2 mathematical
    rationality. In some cases, I'd say it's more contrary and does the
    opposite of what we might expect. I know everyone's has their
    own market perspective, for the most part this has been my experience.

    I do hope you read the book though, especially since it's free education.:)

  2. I just found this online Futures Profit Calculator and computed the above trade example.
    Can someone say how much profit this represents in percent?
    Ie. how much is here the "invested money" (the margin requirement or whatever it's called in futures trading)?
