  1. $500?? too low to use for 1 lot. Your account must be bigger than 5k to be able to trade 10 lots, otherwise, how can you take several hits and do it again if you're not sufficiently capitalized?

  4. I see. I thought you were asking my margin per contract. Like $300/contract $500/contract $2000/contract.

    No I keep around 10k in the account. If I get up to 13k I withdraw the rest or I will get tempted to go bigger and bigger with the size of positions based on how much I "like" them. At some point when I feel I am consistent enough I will take my limit per a good trade to 20lots but I will want to deposit 40k to keep my leverage below or at 20%.

  8. I believe we put in our bottom for that very very large move.

    But, tomorrow could be up and Friday we could get bad news and then it could plummet. We will see. If there was no news on Friday I would be really looking for signals to go Long for the next 5 trading days.

    ammo

    for the hns to be valid it needs to retouch the neckline before descending,that almost happened today,within about 60 cents,that line should/did provide some resistance

  10. Still holding 6 longs from a BE of 1266.90

    Looking to exit 1/2 at 1262.5, and let the rest run targeting 1273. Adding 4 more at 1215.5, with a stop for now at 1195
