No, cuz a $1000 account isn't enough to Martingale my way out of losing trades

How many contracts can you buy with $1000 anyway?

1-2 ES contracts with amazingly tight stops...

Too bad you can't trade the ES with amazingly tight stops because there's so much noise.

Increasenow, McCain made a huge mistake by not putting you on the ticket.

Quote from increasenow:

what proven method would you use to achieve that?

1-2 contracts NQ. With 10 weeks, thats only $170 bucks a day. Any seasoned trader can surely do that.

I've had an account go from 1200 to 50k+ in the space of about 6 months. It then took 2 days to go to 0. This was back when YG's and YI's had very low margin req's.
