One thing about my previous live trading that I always controlled losses. I had taking profit issues that actually were hurting me and this continued for the whole year of me doing Combines.
I never blew accounts but I did have some 10-15% DDs over time. Last live trading longer term ended me losing 15% in some 8 months.

Let those winners run more! You deserve it.

10-15% dd on a futures account is nothing. Thats only -750 on a 5000 account. Heck thats one or two winners and youre back to flat. A good trader should be able to come back from that EASILY. Thats in the realm of a normal equity curve from day one and should not be a deterrent.
 
Thanks Crispy!

I never traded futures before TST. i traded spot FX. But did not like it.
On the other hand I got hooked on futures. I just do not like indexes.

Yes, I know. 2 days of those should have been regular size winners. I had insomnia for 3 weeks. was too excited thinking about getting funded and then of not getting funded an it caught with me on those 4 days. I think max daily loss should be within $350 but better $300. I would not have hit trailing stop then even with all mistakes.
