Hey, Increase ... I'll keep anywhere from 26K to appprox 33K
in the acct. I could trade a lot more cars but i dont want the risk right now. About 20% of the time i may swing 1 car and scalp a second one - in the same direction, of course.
Here are some stats:

RCJ...questions...
Q1-but you've actually made $13,000 trading 1 or 2 contracts correct?
Q2-may I ask, is trading the YM your full time $$$ "job" or "situation" or just "on the side"
...either way...making $13,000 trading the YM is great...thanks for the reply...best trading to you...!
 
My fiscal yr will be over the end of sept. Sure hope i dont mess up.

Im thinking of drawing my acct down to approx 20k soon b/c i doubt i will be doing any more daytrading in stks.

Ans to your questions;

Q1. Yes, that is correct. Looking back, i would never have thought.
Q2. I do have other activities for which im paid $$. But most days allow for at least 3 hrs of market/trading time if i wish-often a lot more. Im very blessed.

BTW all the numbers include commish but not taxes... :(

Here is another pic...as of Aug 8.
