...this statement a recipe for failure in trading. ...wrong. but I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do. I agree with you that selling financial products to people for a living is not the way to go. I doubt I could sleep well at night if I did this. There are many no load...

Here are charts of the 10yr yield if anyone is interested or has comments.

that website is gone as of a month ago. I was unable to keep up with the $25 a year hosting fee.

I had an account with them and another RCG broker at the same time and both used the same Pats Host and price IP addresses. maybe that means nothing, I don't know.

It means that your share size(contract size) on each trade is based on the value of the account. From your example in the E-mini S&P500 if you have a 4 point stop on a trade($200 per contract risk) you would trade 10 contracts for a total of $2000 risk on the trade. However, these position...

because they don't hold winners, they cut them short. and let losers run....
