Very good summary, except for "insider manipulation". Commercials and
pit locals are frequently able to push the market around enough to
subject traders to unreasonable and unnecessary volatility. Prime,
recent example is Cocoa. I know it's possible to hedge this kind of risk
but that costs premium and the guys selling premium are the same guys
running the market up and down. This is reason I avoid illiquid markets
and NY pits.
