New poll on forum homepage. The poll is anonymous as always.

I'm looking for total size traded each day.

Poll is asking for total contracts/lots per day. Poll is anonymous. Obviously if you reply here and tell us, it won't be anonymous.

Tell you what would be very interesting too.

How much TIME are you putting into trading each day.

Learning time, prep time, trading time.

Agree, especially as time is (at least in this case reasonably) constant. A lot isn't. One might trade lots of 100s at a time, but only penny stocks or micros the other might trade ES or CL with 10 lots at a time, worlds apart...

I originally thought this was "how many lots do you put on per trade?", That would be interesting

There have been previous polls that have covered this. I will see how long ago they were.

Vote cast

A fun poll might be: How much time do you spend on futures.io (formerly BMT) each day (Way too much, lol).

Diversification is the only free lunch
