have any of you ever tried to trade silver futures?
there's micro futures, which are 1/10th of normal SI futures
- but it's NUTS. I can't stomach even the micros - like you buy one
micro contract you can be up or down 300 in seconds, so it's hard
to just sit through noise, you have to give it 1000's. I
can't imagine trading regular SI non mcro -you could be up or down
1000's in seconds
Silver futures now just over 100, 100.15
