Re: 7-10 rules Set up *PIC*

Ok Here are my recent trades as independently documented on Collective2.

Just a note, the first loss ($44) was a trade that goes against my rules. I never should have been in it in the first place.

The second was entered properly, but started to go bad right after. I broke my rules and tried to hang on because I was "Convinced" it would go back into the green. That loss should have been smaller.

I have to win the next 6 in a row to restore my 80% win/loss ratio.

The ideal is to use 50K operating capital, and controll as many contracts per trade as possible with that as my margin. Do the math to see how I did.

In my course however, I recommend never to trade more than 10 contracts at a time, just to be conservative. I also recommend having 3 times the margin needed to do so.

Lets see you post your trades?
