On the other hand, Davit's pivot factory strategy can facilitate bigger trading size. That's the only advantage I can see from his strategy. Of course, in the end they will blow their accounts but people can at least dream they can become a ...

What's the maximum contract size of Harold's strategy? I guess 5 contracts? (NQ and YM's liquidity is much lower than ES). Anyway, you won't be able to become a millionaire trading like this due to high trading cost (slippage and spread). Practice ...

Nat Gas market in the U.S. is quite isolated market even though LNG and pipeline export is getting expanding. That being said, CME /NG futures is hardly be affected by foreign nat gas markets. This is different from crude oil.
