farooq, I appreciated your words of wisdom and experience. As I mentioned in an earlier post, today is the first time I've traded NERS in real time using futures on margin with a simulated platform. I made a few order-entry mistakes, of course, at the beginning but quickly got through that challenge. Other than that, the only other challenge has been the test of my patience during the past few hours. Actually, I'm really enjoying trading NERS and am confident that I'll make outstanding profits when I switch to a cash environment in the near future. Like anything else, experience and patience are the keys to mastering this system. Thanks. Two
