If your stops work for you, please excuse my comments. No harm intended...Best wishes..If you stay committed, there is no doubt you will succeed. I worked for a man who spent hundreds of thousands trading only the Emini S & P 500 futures contracts, and he fizzled, slowly but surely because he would not accept input from his employees, and he had a great system?? Ran his stops too wide, and gambled with multiple contracts, when his system was not proven..He said if we captured 5 points each per day we would all get rich...He was correct...with multiple contracts ..I am scared of this business, but know that I have a system that works realtime. I won't share it with the public, and maybe no one but I would use it.. When you arrive at the final system to begin trading with, please use extreme caution, go to breakeven on good runs if you want more, or become very adept at trailing the stop. I think I remember your comment that 2 contracts to enter, exit with point target of 2 or 3, the bring the 2nd contract to breakeven for bigger points...Perfect strategy after you feel confident with your system and 1 contract, unless you have an enormous amount of trading capital and losses don't matter to you..If you can't tolerate losses emotionally, then please forget this business. That is where a system you believe in and have proven will keep you trading.
The constant remarks I've made about stops is a result of many stopouts just before the move continued in my favor. My system most of the time will allow 3 or 4 point stops. Realtime price moves can leave you wondering what happened..
