I just started calculating trading it within it's day range as if it were a stock you were day trading using a divergence momentum trading methodology. Note there is a significant difference in that I can only trade in one direction and not two, but as an experiment I thought I'd give it a try.

On an initial account of $2000, keeping slippage and volume in mind, and accounting for commissions (so far as their highest tier as I would start with no monthly volume) after 3 buys and 3 sales my trading account would now be worth $2229. Just over 10% turn around in about 6 hours.

I am considering funding an actual account in the closer to $5000 range (have to watch volumes as this wouldn't be scalable too much higher) and doing it for real in the next day or so. Just want to play around with it a bit more.

Thoughts anyone?
