Thanks!... I am playing with OEC and Ninja Trader demos. OEC looks so good but I am a bit concerned the support is not as deep as Ninja... But then I fired up Ninja and whooa.. blank charts?? Patsystem does not maintain data so I have to import data.. I am really taken by OEC's ability to trade on trendline breaks and if I can resolve the EL indicator import bumpiness I'll be all set... Not that I use that many anyway..

His website looks like either this plan never worked for him and therefore he is selling something OR he achieved it and he is snorkeling somewhere.. entertaining nevertheless. Guess I should be trading 4 units as times have changed and there is $500 margin now.... NOT! I am basically trying to get to 2% per trade risk as soon as possible.. currently at 4%... I could drop my stop to the 2% but the current market would kill such a stop. 1% would be better ultimately but not consistent with the game plan here.

Anyone have a Hull MA and Opening Range indicator or know where to get them...?

Thought I'd post this for fellow dreamers.. Key question is how many units considering current volatility you should use and whether to keep the risk constant or decrease it as you progress. To me no reason other than psychological and instrument liquidity to curve down the risk over time. In this case he has. Piker Trader.pdf

thales.. Will it be ok if I posted my whole weeks statements on Saturday? The trade flow will still be clear but it will enable me to not look at account balance daily, which would prevent trading my balance..

Statement for 05/26........ Would be nice to hold for a "bit longer".. key short 1844 not held long enough. Still reacting to price much more than Structure.

You could also simply sort the list for easy visual ranking..

The paradox of a small account is the wipeout increases the resolve of a dedicated trader to improve.. A new trader with 50k for example is better of, in my opinion, to fund in 5k bits and experience a few blowouts as they inflict necessary pain for learning. It is a fine line between account size encouraging carelessness and causing too much fear to trade properly though.

Darn someone noticed... Yes that is high.. today I have 9 RTs (NOT the plan) costing me $90. I switched to $300 margin at Global Futures (in hindsight a fools game..) when my account fell under $500 ($5 RT) for which they charge $10 RT.. Once I scale $2k they will revert me back to $5 RT. At the end of the day my play is never to exceed 3 RTs (today excluded of course!) but even then why throw money away needlessly? Who is as reliable with fees less than $5 RT? Global also offers Turbo Trader for free so no platform fees.
