    This is what happens when you increase your position size on the same day you catch a stop on a wide range day. I keep telling myself going from 2 to 3 will be easier. And 3 to 4 will be easier still. Haha. You have to be really sick to trade something like this.

    I almost forgot to post this. And sorry about the frankenblotter. I had to piece it together since IB rolled the realized P/L before I captured it.

  6. I have found the YM to be the least consistant and the most manipulated index. Have you tried the Rissel or ES?

    Sorry, I just saw your question. I actually developed this system to trade the ER2, but I picked the YM to trade live because it gave me a better chance of surviving with a smaller account. If I had started out with a larger account I likely would have made a different choice.

    Here are today's results:
