    How much risk capital should one use in a single trade?

    Agree. Modify your time frames to suit your stop loss. Don't think of eating daily profits when your stop is of 15 mins.

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    entry point is not important as the directional move... If you get in late/early, and with a reasonable stop, u still make $$ in the right direction. Whats impt is that type of stops u got, and what u define as noise. Do u define a 80 point (Dow Jones) as noise? I would.

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    If u trade with a 1 pt stop and 4 pt move, its reasonable. If you trade with a 8-12 point stop, u better look for 20 pt moves. that's what I think. All on stops

    How much risk capital should one use in a single trade?

    why not decide on how long u gonna hold? then decide on the stop? obviously if u have little capital u cannot hold long, if u got slightly more, u able to hold longer and that forms your stop. if u gonna calcuallte percentage of your capital, u end up being losing because u need to determine how...

    Getting out of trades too early

    I have a definite stop and I can shift my stops to trail profit. I can ride a profit into a loss, but I can ride a loss into a profit, so long my stops don't get hit.

    ____________________________________________ Wow, you look so uncomfortable trading. For me, I can hold a position for days or weeks. I have a heart attack if I traded like that.
