I'm missing your point regarding one contract versus 5 contracts. With 5 contracts, the commissions will be 5X and the profits will be 5X, so % net return (on margin used) will be the same whether using 1 contract, 5 contracts or 100 contracts.

What am I missing?

Quote from Lamont_C:



A BO strategy is not likely to be as successful as one wants it to be unless he has a thorough understanding of S/R, and S/R is in no way static. S/R represents those levels at which traders will act as desired. If they don't, then it's not S/R, regardless of what one thinks or wants.

Due to this statment I have decided to copy part of Marks Douglas' book The Disciplined Traders. Just on the significance on S/R and how it works. I would suggest anybody trading this type of strategy delve into the psychology of it before trading it. This is a very good book for all levels of traders and if you don't already have it your library I consider it must. This document is but a small portion of this great book. I personally read it all the time. I have made so mant notes on chapters 15 and 16 I had to buy another copy. Once you read this document go back and re read it until it just clicks with you. I hope you find it as helpful as i have.

Sandy,
I believe what Lamont is trying to say is that if you a greater than 50% W/L ration then you let the magic of mutiplication increase your account size. Not the net return of one but the net retun of say 5. Instead of $900 now you have $4,500. You can add more contracts as they add up and by the time you get to present you could have added as much as 9 more contracts. I would not go that much but maybe 2 anyway. It is compounding and that is how you build an account.

With those numbers I probably would not do this type of trade because I like a little higher probability but if you are new you would at least be making some money.

Also Lamont was trying to say keep re testing it with different ratios or just look at the chart and see if it is telling you someting positive on the winning days that might keep you from trading on those losing days.

I believe this is what he is saying, if not please correct me, Lamont.

Here are my numbers and chart for tomorrow:

There are 2 good long levels for tomorrow, they are close together but if you look at the chart closely they are different levels.

Long 1283.50 and/or 1293

Short 1273

as of this writing none of these were taken out in todays lackluster trading.

Good Trading Tomorrow,

FYI, I use 3 different charting programs. How many do you use?

BTW, are you female? Your ET name sounds kind of "girlish"...

No, 4re, I was not asking you. I was asking myminitrading. Only
because he was being a butt on the QT poll thread. So I thought
maybe he (she) was having a "monthly" problem if you know what I mean...:p

And I was a little weirded out that he had folowed me to this thread.

Ferrari's are totally cool cars. So your name is cool too. Journal is
doing okay too. Even though I keep popping in and adding my
nonsense to it. Trying to stay cool.

I'm in the Seattle area, and my name really is version77...:p
