Candle, just a sidenote here. I know a fund that trades the SPY and QQQ`s only intraday. They only trade in 100K share lots. Watching them trade was ridiculous, taking profits just like an ES trader..i.e .20 on 100k two or three times a day. There were no liquidity problems at all. Most of the time they got filled in 1-6 lots MAX.
He meant 50 BIG MAN contracts of course -- them professionals in chitown dont bother with no emini mouse crap!
Obviously he was trading the big contracts. I traded on thursday and it was a swing traders dream, to nail 38 pts could have been possible, but not probable. Trading 50 could have very easily got high 5 figures or low 6, if he nailed the swings. Who's bitching anyway unless your name is Bill Gates. Good Luck, Wavetrader
With 50 big contracts he probably trades ~$2-$4M capital. Sure it's possible to make 3/4 M in 7 months.
