someone who trades with 10% down and a requirement to close
positions within the day better know what they're doing.

Yes, I understand that you'll stretch in any direction in order to prove that a winning trade was a losing trade. You take a narrow exception and attempt to extrapolate it into 'proof' that your inanities are correct.

10-1 margin is not something a lot of folks have access to. Most of us schleps are limited to 2 to 1.

Anyone who played the limit of their account in one position deserved to lose. Dumb money is in the habit of becoming smart money.

One more time: 23 3/4 - 10 3/4 = better than 50% profit.
