sorry it WAS in the same paragraph, my editor was making up for my terrible English skills and split the idea right down the center 🙂

Yea, that is the unfortunate part of writing these a few days before publication. On the plus side I don't expect my numbers to be to far off, I can certainly see a rise in playability before rotation and he is better than the new one so he will see play all the way til Innistrad.

And the more trades you conduct in groups the larger your margins will be due to the fact that you will know what is over and undervalued in peoples trade binders….its in that same paragraph if you don't take it out of context.

I know how the equation works i'm an accounting major lol, but perhaps it is not worded well enough thank you for pointing this out for future reference.

The margin isn't affected, your volume is. There are three ways to get profit trading:

* Margin: Trading $5 for $10 instead of $5 for $6

* Volume: Trading 100 times instead of 10

* Speculation: Trading $5 for $5 that later turns into >$5 (which is basically Margin with a delay)

Your total revenue is your Margin times your Volume.
