I just recently made the move from jtrader and IB using ninjatrader recently to Xtrader. It really is a much more solid trading platform. You have to trade enough size to justify the platform fee but if you're trading for a living it seems to be a necessary tool imo.
The yield on the compost is almost terrifying. LOL we weighed one carrot last year and it was about 3 1/2 pounds. Our citrous is a better example though. One weird lemmon like tree is making fruit at sizes that are largr than grapefruits. We make very large gin and fruit and vodka and fruit drinks. One of these babies juiced lasts a whole evening in a suitable bev container. A photog did our place as a result of curiousity about "what are they growing in that place?". At this point we sometimes get accosted with comments like: "I know who you are, you are the llama people." What fun it all turns out to be. Liz is on the board of a seed company at this point. Just unbelievable. It wouldn't be fair to use photos in their catalogues. We are going to make cork bats this year for the majors out of zuccinis. Have you ever seen a rabbit explode in your garden???
Dpanic: Thanks for your reply. I think that there are some advantages to trading the holidays. With so many floor brokers away on holiday, the second string guys/gals are on watch, and that provides opportunity. For instance, if you are able to anticipate a late day reversal (common in the energy complex, meats, or indexes) and you can get "to the door" before the rest of the crowd, you can buy/sell into the late rush and make a nice profit. I think you are right to try to maintain some balance regarding trading. If at some point however, you want to try this strategy, PM me.
