I honestly didn't expect anyone to follow me on that Lumber
stuff, it's such odd ball thing and almost nobody would be open to
trading an expensive futures contract like that. been more of a fun
academic thing for me seeing the pattern play out etc
Yeah, understood. I rarely trade futures anyway. Only if I think
I can scalp an index for a few hour trade, I may buy 1-5 contracts
of the mini's. I prefer options for the leverage trades, I'm not
afraid to hold those overnight, lol. Mostly I swing trade stocks
though, multi weeks-days. But I know how much money could have been
made(and lost) on lumber last year, makes me curious as well.
