I am just a dummy but i try to give you a hand. Sounds like you set up is giving you 10 to 20 ticks of heat? Why not wait for a ten tic retrace and then enter keeping your 20 tic stop in play?
Just an idea. :)
Feel for you man! Crashed and burned my first attempt.
Once I realized what "MY" problem was, ( not allowing myself to take a loss, violating stops) my trading turned around for me.
All I can tell you is it's not your trading strategy (unless your flipping a coin or trading off moon cycles or...
Does anyone have a recommendation as to where i could get
a realtime demo acct. to practice emini trading? would like to practice my strategy before going live.

Would appreciate anyones' help!
Thanks
