no offense but yes my original post came right out and said i was a newb (2 months) 6 ticks on 100 lots in the wrong direction 4 times empties my account and gets me a call from my future x-wifes lawyer. i can see where you are coming from regarding the large lots but im still trying to define a trading system and will limit to 1-2 contracts for now. have you found it easier to be less emotional and more consistent on 100 lots. i can see where there is an inherent advantage to getting in and out of a trade after 6 ticks for $7500
