    Slim to none if you haven't been trading for a long time.

  3. just go for it!! just only allow yourself to make one trade per day on what you feel is a super sweet setup (failed b/o or successful b/o) on 5 min or 15 min. You can make 300 bucks in 1 minute. Risk 150 to make 3 or 4 hundred. Word of advice, stay away wed. mornings unless you're a master fader. I'm assuming this is just fun money that you would be pissing away on pot or whores anyway. Oh yeah... why is it just 9900?? What happened to the other 100 bucks?

    Once you get a feel for CL .30-.40 consistent on 1 lot is reasonable.
    How long until/if you ever get a feel for CL is your business, noone on this board can help you with that one.

  8. that energy report is a gold mine (black gold!), just don't trade the CL, find some other trades during that time.
