Back in trading

I opened an account at RJO. I used to trade through TradeStation, but their clearing firm was RJO anyway. TS offered a platform called TS4.0 for pit trading contracts, which is essentially the same as RJO Vantage with minus a few nice features, so I thought I should go with RJO directly. The commissions are not as cheap as tradestation, but I'm ok with $5 for futures options as I'm not doing lots of trades anyway.

I placed an order for nat gas. It needs to come down a bit more though. I'm also looking at gold / platinum and corn / wheat as well.

It's good to be back.
