Just curious how many contracts u all trade. Looked for a poll on this, didn't find one. Newb's or pro's, doesn't matter.
Normal size is about 2 recently, maximum in my book (for my risk management) is 8 currently on big setups. Still building up.
Hey NYX, You could always add a 'few' more cars to your position. Haha Vacation was great; awesome weather through the whole trip. Taking off September because of a large gain after the FNM/FRE bailout (was long 3 overnight and closed for 36 point gain each Monday morning) and doing a little more work at my dayjob. I'll try stopping in the room soon.
You're such a smart ass. I don't have the balls to trade that kind of size; well at least not my own money.
That is great; to both the vacation and the fantastic trade! The room is dead pretty much, I chat on IM with a few but that's about it. With those type of gains, quit the day job, lol.
I would trade any size as long as I'm properly capitalized and the instrument offers the liquidity for such size. Size is not the issue here, risk management is. Emini Guru
