I'm not a big leverage player... "survivability first" is my style... I doubt I've had more than 2:1 leverage on my capital any time in the last 20 years.

what instruments (markets) do you follow when trading ES?

Index futures are all about a "market psychology play"... when the ES moves, so do the others... I suggest you watch the Dow, ES, SPX, NQ and the Naz's... anything else which you think appears relevant at the time... sometimes that might be Financial, Semiconductor, or Small Cap sectors..
 
just saw you used to be a bowler. i was too before i broke my elbow. where did you bowl at? i bowled at the university of texas. granted, i wasn't amazing but it was good times. do you still bowl? and just curious how old are you now?
 
1) How did you deal with your psychology as you began to trade with bigger size?

2) Are your stops always fixed before and after you enter a trade?

3) Do you build a position when you see a setup? Or do you enter all contracts at once?

4) What type of money management system are you using?

thanks
