Here’s a look at my portfolio from the Cantor Exchange during the practice period which just ended. Due to compliance reasons I won’t go into here, Cantor Exchange will be closed until April 22nd when real trading begins. That’s right, one month from now you will be able to trade movie futures contracts for real with real money. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. Remember, your friendly neighborhood box office analyst is always here at FilmGo offering trading tips, so come back often for all of my box office predictions. Trading during the practice period was incredibly fun and I did really well. Over the six months that I traded I was up 150%. I turned $10,000 virtual dollars into $25,000 virtual dollars. Here’s a look at the positions I held when the Exchange stopped trading and my gain/loss history from October 1st 2009 when I began.
