If Silver Brother's contract doesn't do well, he won't stubbornly stick to contracts anymore. Instead, he will choose another track/mode to pursue, such as options. Sometimes, when things don't work out, it's not entirely your fault; you need to choose what suits you best. I have studied contracts, futures, and options thoroughly. Contracts are for both rookies and experts to play with. Commodity futures are best for gold, silver, and index futures. Other varieties are not for the average person.
