    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    I could be wrong but it seems to me you gave yourself a bit of a scare the other day. Why not just get back in slowly. I blew an account quite a few years ago and it took me ages to get back to it. Definitely trickier dealing with your own money. I used to think nothing of a 5m position with...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    No reason for 100 pts--only to give myself half a chance and use a mental stop of 50 ish. I figured if it goes to around 50 points adrift then I `ve got it wrong. I never like to lose more than 50 points as I feel rightly or wrongly that there`s always the next one.

    Another 60 points on oil to make up for my 60 point loss on Dow. Never dabbled much on the Dow and maybe i`ll leave it alone.

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    Ok-I genuinely wish you well. I blew a £30 k account doing the same thing a few years ago . Thought I was invincible. I do happen to agree with your sentiments however.
