  4. Stopped.. Thursday's windfall gone...

    Good-bye Futures. Perhaps when MUCH more capitalized I may return or not. Having to enter and exit trades so often and be wrong so often not for me for whatever reason..

    Will return to what I have ever done well in...

  6. Schaefer...

    Thanks. not going far, just back to stocks. I simply don't have the capital to sustain the stops needed for my style of trading. Account based stops not practical and psychologically draining for a small account even with 1 NQ contract.. Of course a great daytrader can overcome this but not I, and besides, no reason for the continued head banging when I don't have to. To thine own self be true.

    Will start a Stock journal soon.
