This might be a stupid question ... here goes ... is managing money an option? There are many formats in which this can be done, taking on some private funds, working for an institution in some way, all the way to setting up a fund. Get the legals right so you can continue to trade for yourself as well.

Any thoughts on this from anyone who knows more about it than me (ummmm...that makes everyone qualified)?
Most definitely Mr Ed! I was looking for quick and easy options but you are correct - the real money is in OPM (Other Peoples' Money). There are a few different avenues to take on the daytrading side. The main two that come to mind right now (in futures) would be a CTA or Hedge Fund setup. Of course, there's more to it than just setting up a website and such, but it is a great way to go for the LONG TERM and if you want to go that route.

The nice thing about C2 and/or MarketZar is that it's quick and easy.
