That 23k was in s&P put options on 9/11/2001...as we both know, the markets closed for 5 days and it was impossible to get in touch with your broker and take profits. I only made $2300 in the trade after all was said and done...It was up 425k at one point...that woulda made my year to have gotten out with that amount..I find forex is so rigged it is almost impossible to trade it profitably....looking at other options now..don't look at forexfactory much either...happy holidays....
