in the end you only have one way of not losing a lot of money at once - don't expose yourself to that risk in the first place. if putting on 1 e-mini ES/NQ contract makes you fretful over whether your connection with your broker will go down then either pay up to go with a broker with...

use a choppy friendly trading strategy? a choppy friendly strategy might have payout features different from a typical 40-70% wins 3:1 to 1:1 win loss ratio...that most people target. why is no one interested in 10% winners 15:1 or 95% winners 1:8? Q1

one of the reasons why people think these long term system don't work is that they can ONLY be looked at on a portfolio basis. Looking at a long term breakout system on the individual markets and dismissing it because it performs really badly on some markets misses the point entirely. eg I think...
