  3. Good job, but your equity drawdown looks far too large for enticing more AUM. Maybe you should consider decreasing size as a percentage of equity.

    Hi,

    Correct me if I am wrong but aren't you trading with ~53x leverage if your equity is only $1500? Therefore all it takes is approx a 2% S&P drawdown when you started and your account would we wiped out... How are you trading like this?

    Thanks
     
  5. Inherently the ES leverage is 50x, however I keep about 70% of my capital in cash as safety buffer. So it's the return on the invested capital on day one you see in the metrics, not return on total assets.
