Today i was play micros only, very conservative, 2 times shorted MNQ on pullbacks before the crazy move. After that leaved my screens. Today P/L $220.
Please tell me why you work with companies, and not on your own? MNQ allows you to carefully work with risks with low capital.
The paradox is that now, from a trading point of view, you have lost only 1095.38 (50061.66-48966.28). Or just 2.2% (1095.38/50061.66) of the account balance. And in fact, they lost 2,500 due to the exhaustion of risk due to obtaining capital. Leverage by leverage = leverage squared. If you were trading on your account 2500 with the same leverage, then you would still be in the game. With a capital of $2500, you would probably be able to easily make a targeted $50. And with the remaining 1404.62, too.
Absolutely agree with you, but i lost to many accounts for 2.5-3K. I can understand the requirements of my wife who does not understand anything in trading and does not know how I have progressed as a trader, since I began to lose money in the market.
I say to myself like this: “I only _move_ as a trader when I earn more and more stable. When I lose, I am a gambler, not a trader.” I do not like to give advice, but sometimes everything is so obvious from the outside. Your problem is not in capital, but in another. I think you need to put in your (exactly yours!) account $ 300 and trade MNQ for forty days so that in 40 days there would be no less.
