Wishing all you steel rats all a happy and relaxing Labor Day weekend. I for one will be working on last minute CrazyIvan related chores: finalizing the tutorials and the order flow, build you a kick-ass futures risk calculator, deploy a new version of CrazyIvan – plenty to keep me busy for the next few days.
