Is it better to invest in futures trading? Or find a strong market maker? With so many futures contracts, and so many trading at low prices, it doesn't necessarily mean they're generally good! The key lies in strong market makers who dare to pump and wash prices, and who have the wherewithal to do so. Without that kind of skill, you'll run out of money after a while, effectively giving away money. With enough power, you can pull enough orders from your opponents and even take them down.
