Quote from jasonleonard:
"CL = NYMEX Crude Oil (GLOBEX)
Target = $15,000+ per contract"
So let's see at $10 a tick, you think it's going to go to $80.61 within a 2 1/2 week period? Or is my math incorrect?
Also, how many contracts? Considering you had to take the front month due to 'size'. I imagine that you would have at least a minimum of 100.
With that said, it went more than $3 against you, or roughly $300,000. I don't know of many successful traders that will put more than 4% on any single given trade. That would run you in the ball park of equity in the $7.5 million range.
Or again, is my math incorrect?
