I mentioned in a previous post; guidelines on how to preserve capital: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/joining-the-cme-gang.334231/page-14#post-4910622 In brief: 1. do not add to losers. only have one position at a time. go full size is no problem. but dont add. 2. use a strict SL for...

looks like even you are lost and in need of more help. perhaps start a new thread, and be very clear with the title, because nobody fuckung knows how useless you are, even yourself!
