Anyone else here actively manage their portfolio?

I am curious if there are other people on WSO that use options/futures to actively manage their portfolio? Of course I have a 401k and I max that out every year, but I also have a modest amount in a portfolio that I actively manage. I have become a fan of Tasty Trade and I'm guessing I'm not the only one on here. I'm a "covered person" at my BB so my trade options can be limited at times, but I get by and keep it in policy. 

From other posts I have seen, it sounds like some of you have taken a turn at that but have moved away from it in favor of index funds. If that's you, I want to hear from you too. Why did you stop?
