Doubled my (small) account last week daytrading CL futures using PA for the first time.

Probably The smartest thing for me to do would go back to micros until i get back on track...there is no doubt that I am trading too much size because I am overly nervous anytime it moves against me even slightly. I've accepted a 5 tick loss before entering but I cant hardly stand anything beyond that. average MFE this week on trades with "good" timing (go in my favor almost instantly) is only about ~10 ticks. When it moves back to BE I get out +/- 1 tick. I just havn't been able to get behind any of those sweet sweet point moves.

Hate to see you struggle and hope this can help.

Learn to be in sync. Indicators are all lagging, like using the rearview mirror to drive, some pros can do it but most retails cannot.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you.
