I was up 400% last week. Made $600 on a $150 EUR/USD position. Its one little trade that works and difficult to repeat. I have had several of those so at any point I can say "I made 400%". Not reality.

I have had Esignal since 2006 and love the product. My new platform now has a good chart system (finally). Im wondering if I should continue using esignal and use the platform for execution only or dump Esignal (save some $) and go platform only. What are others doing in this situation?

13 Fills 12 Longs. 7 Winners 6 Losers +3.4c/sh Tempted to increase size a bit but every time I do I go into a losing streak. I wonder if thats just coincidence or a function of size contributing to greater slippage (not large size either way). Is there a point of diminishing returns as...
