Just curious. Paper trading 400 lots? Why not 4 or 40 or 4,000? Why specifically 400? Enquiring minds want to know.
No offense meant here. But why the F would anyone care about some paper trade swinging a virtual 400 lot for ticks?
Just go along with the little fella, we may have lost rubberbird, but who cares now we have Mishwar!!!! Check out the thread link he posted, he is a legend in the making.
Why not paper trading 888 contracts? Actually, why even both paper trading such a huge number of contracts?
I think there may be a hidden meaning in trading three 8's. Truely a revoulutionary technique. Bravo, bravo I say.
