Hey, may be I'll real-time trade your paper trades and give you a piece of the action:)

OTOH, I don't know that I could sit and watch my short position -- of 20+ contracts go against me by 15+ points even if it finally made me a couple of points.

I think that what this contest and previous ones show is why it is so difficult to simulate the performance when paper trading and achieve the same results when trading for real. It is that gut-wrenching feeling that one has when one sees a trade go deep in the hole and not know what the heck to do about it -- or for that matter have a decent profit and though all looks well, the desire to bank it.
