    Um, no, you need to make 25% after the 20% loss to go back to break even. Silly maths errors like this really need to be sorted out if you want a chance to be in the 10%.

    Lol - you can have such a belief, but if it doesn't match reality, then you may be in trouble.

    How much would you risk on a GOOD trade?

    Not true...there have been a number of times when there was almost a no brainer trade. The following come to mind: 2009, fed announces qe, stocks begin bull market 1994 when Greenspan unexpectedly raised rates, fairly obvious that bonds and stocks would go down heavy. 1992, Soros bet...

    yeah. mini dow has plenty of liquidity (does anyone here really trade hundreds of contracts?) and far less bid/offer spread.

    2 k futures account - $500 a week possible?

    2 k futures account - $500 a week possible?

    No, I don't use a 10 tick stop for CL. More like 50 to a 100 (i'm not a day trader). However, I do think it is possible though to have 5 -10 pips stop and make money intraday. As for other traders trying to take out your stops....well, of course, no one is going to move the market just to...

    2 k futures account - $500 a week possible?

    Mate, set up a demo account, trade CL with 10 pip stops and see what happens. Remember if you can't make money on a demo account, there is no way you could make it on a real money account.
