Position Size Disaster Stories

[Bond-Speculator]

Would love to hear from people who have had horrendous (or even wonderful) experiences trading size in the US 10-year Note or US 30-year Bond Futures.

what size did you trade?

what was the size of your account?

what lessons have you learned about size in futures trading?

If you have actually been successful trading an account on an overleveraged basis, please post your experience here as well. How long have you been trading crazy size relative to your account balance and what has been the worst drawdown you've had? How long have you lasted and how long do you expect to last at the current size/balance ratio?

Thanks

My story? and what story is that? Honestly I don't know what you are talking about......I've read the story on here about a guy who nearly blew his account out. I nearly blew my account out but that was many years ago back in the 90s.
