Mark reminded me he has the Oddball trades posted on the web. There are
366 trades of the SPX cash index - not a very realistic test but good
enough to illustrate what we are doing. He's using $250/point to
simulate the SP futures with no slip/com. I subtracted $250/RT for
slip/com and ran it through 10,000 loops of the MC. Here are the
results. Small account guys could divide the numbers by 5 to get an idea
of how much they should have in the account for each mini ES they trade,
keeping in mind that the futures probably won't do as well as the cash.
