OK, finally sufficient information is collected, so we can do the math:

300 pts X 20 ctrs X 50$ X 100/15% = 2 million is your account size.... TLNW is around 10....

Did I do well? :)

The criticism still stands, you could easily swing 100 contracts and that would be still only 1 contract for each 20K. Just don't use 100 points stops...

No, your numbers are way off. Remember, I said "using the math provided". My system is just fine the way it is and I have put it out there in hopes that others may benefit. :)
 
yes for IB, I was bitten by that once.

Stayed up late to see it drop to 996.50 and begin to bounce, got out of one with mental stop at 00:42:40 @ 1000.75.

But my placed stop orders didn't hit on the order I set @ 1004.75? Apparently you have to check a little box on stop orders if you want it filled outside of RTH, but not on any other orders - great.
