I think they start with $1M, so he basically doubled algorithmically. Too bad I wouldn't be even eligible.

Ha.
I picked up $200K on a $20K margin allocation to wheat in about 4 months from November to March. Does 10 to 1 count?
Got long around 6.80:
http://www.traders-t...?...24&hl=wheat
http://www.traders-t...?...30&hl=wheat
Sold scale-up above 10, best price I got was 11.74, stopped out of the last of the Sept at 10.95, it's now about 8.40.
Too bad I'm not a college student.
