I*'m new here

[rossprio]

I spent 35 years on trading floor of CBOT-----I teach Ground School at busy Flight operation in New Smyrna Beach Florida----I am out of touch with new trading techniques--and low on cash---aside from selling out of money calls and puts--are there any programs for sale to trade with small cash????--I'm not rich anymore, made some mistakes.

Ross,

35 years CBOT? Respect. I reckon you've enough good stories (the good and the bad side) to fill two volumes at least. Seriously, you should consider publishing these. Put me down for volume 1.

Who's going to teach - or even presume to teach - an old dog new tricks?

Who will play the lead in the film - Danny DeVito or George Clooney?

Good luck, mate.

Grant.

Must be a different Rosario. The other one died over 30 years ago. He was a member of another Chicago Outfit ...LOL. Are you an EPIC guy?

If you spent 35 years on CBOT floor I reckon you have all you still need to trade. There's not much new under this particular Sun.

If you're currently cash-poor, check out brokers that do mini or micro lots. Going back to selling mug premium is always going to be good business and you could still potentially make good returns if your skills and instincts are intact, but without the dynamics of the floor, even with pro feeds, you're likely going to find it a different ballgame altogether. And you're obviously going to need to rake up some handsome returns trading vanilla before you can get enough clout together to start selling premium again. Can you bear the thought of that?

Have you traded off floor since leaving CBOT?
