ONLY SOME BASKETS
SURVIVE.
2,222 desks, each running a $100,000 paper book on real prices. You pick what yours holds. Monday it locks and the market moves without you. Friday night the worst 278 go dark. Eight Fridays leave ten, and one takes the pot.
Nothing is deposited and nothing is held for you. Nobody trades for you here — and no position in this game can sit out a bad week: cash, T-bills and anything that cannot fall are barred from a book.
