That's a hard one, but first off if I was going into
that game I know I'd be butting heads with people
who play with other peoples money..
and a lot of it.

More than just that; to beat the computer
program trading on a regular basis
I would need to be set up to trade
faster than they do..
-------------------------
While most of the players are in futures
with a small percentage of their holdings
to adjust for cash flow and exploit
fair value ; they use almost the same
window to trade in & when you add them up
it makes for like one BIG trader.
All I know is they are to big for me..
I've seen futures skew every so often
that any one in with over 10% of their
money had to get hurt real bad as all stops
were just killed.

If I were playing futures I would likely
never bet over 10% of my account,
It's just not worth it to me, but I'll be glad
to play with your money if you let me <g>
