I would like to figure out a formula to see the maximum # of contracts that could be traded to allow 50 trades before an account balance fell to 50% of the starting balance. Ideally the number of trades would be 50 before the account value is 50% of starting balance. The #'s I know are : Starting capital Each trade has a risk of 1.5% of total capital Each trade has a risk of 3 ES points or for ER each trade has a risk of 3 ER points Thanks in advance.
What is your win % and average profit / loss per trade? Those are the missing two variables you need to factor. If your win percentage is 90% or 20%, actual results by fifty trades may vary.
