When you scale, your stop is constantly moving as your cost basis changes. Uncertainty= LEAD PAWS !
50% ret is 1330.50

I saw that you posted about a $7800 max drawdown. How many contracts would that be on ?
that depends on variables involved, but maximum position size with 2.25 stop would be no more than 65 at one time. I didn't really want to post any figures as that just brings out "Yeah right!" kinda comments, as always, mostly coming from 5k account holders, which I have nothing against, we all have to start somewhere.

what is "scaling back" and "crawfishing"?
welcome bill.
Thanks Romik, So that 65 would be built for a swing trade or strictly intraday only ?
