    Futures Contracts Position Sizing

    Yah! What he said. Why do you think stocks require 100% margin? I think what the Stock pickers do not understand is that stocks can go to zero, commodities cannot. Stocks can and do go to nothing. Nobody needs a share of stock. You canÕt eat it. You canÕt fuel your SUV with it. It...

    Futures Contracts Position Sizing

    These 1%ers put on about 50 stocks and tell each other how great they are when one of them comes on and they make 10%. Big Deal. You donÕt put on 50 different futures. And you donÕt trade your own funds like you would do for some widows or orphans. Just double your pile and take your...

    Too much unused capital! A recent kcbt seasonal wheat spread is up 600% this month. Your Algorithm returned 6%. How much would you have made if you put 30% in wheat. What about 30% and pyramiding every time you earned double margins. 1% is a total waste. Go take a Tharp class if it...
