**I will only be trading highly liquid options so as to make it realistic as possible.**
So far, this has mainly involved trading SPY & AAPL options.
Since this is likely the most risky of all the accounts I am managing in the fantasy world, I am only going to start with a balance of $150K in there.
Buying power of $425K
Update: As of 1/22/11, this account is closed. It finished +233% but was up far more than that before I wiped it all out; the only reason I finished +233% was because I moved out $500K in profits thinking they were too good to be true... which they were ;D
