    2011: Rebuilding My Battered Account

    Taking 5,000 to 100,000

    I can see why you suggest the NQ. Less slippage more volatility. Also if the directional position is correct, since overnight ranges are larger than intraday ranges during trending, holding overnight means getting a larger % of the move. When is the next 10% swing pivot?

    Taking 5,000 to 100,000

    This week I have discovered a fatal flaw in the 5K to 100K attempt. With a 5K account and 1 contract, the $150 a day trade stop reduces my numbers of profitable days. My trading method currently gives profit on 70% of trades using no daily cut off. After a few losers I can still make a daily...

    Why OTM? Let's say I think next week AAPL will closer $10 lower than Fri close, wouldn't ITM near term Puts be better, given I want to close the trade within few days. I'm not a options expert, just asking.
