e-mini vs high beta stocks or distressed stocks

Hi everyone.

Any advice is welcomed concerning my two trading strategies.

which one offer the best probability of success in your opinion ?:

1/ Trading e-minis:
capital 20000$
stop loss: 2% loss max per day on my equity
Target 2 pts end of day per contract or 400 $ (1% of equity).
Trading 2 contracts max at the same time

2/ Invest the same amount on high beta stocks (MXIM,NVLS...) or distressed stocks (I have traded DYN, EP, Ahold...in the past with success although actually I bough wcom at 1$ and lost my shirt.

Thanks for your input

Good trading to all

I am not certain DYN and EP are in the distressed category anymore. I think you missed the easy money on those two.

 

I bought them a long time ago, my last buy was ahold when it was at 3.5$ a few months ago.

FWIW and it may not be worth much, I say trade the distressed. This is my method and it rocks...as long as you can take the occasional big DD.
