    If more than ten options were allowed, I could have made this poll a hell of alot better.

    I have certain expectations as to how the poll results will read. As usual, I'll delay expressing & explaining my theories for a few days, in order not to influence the outcome of this poll.

    (Mods: Please delete the first version of this poll. I made a nasty typo there.)

    I agree. More than $100K is too easy for elite traders. Too bad there isn't a more than $1 million trading mostly forex category.

    This poll will provide interesting statistical data for all of us, once more traders submit their answers.

    Deserves just one bump, before I give up on it...
