    You mean to trade?
    Right at the moment I'm near 100% committed, I've been sitting last couple of weeks, selling only as I attempt to decrease my exposure, ie I hold too many positions. (Currently 16)
    At one stage I was holding nigh on 80 positions. I've decided about 5 positions is what I want, ie less diversification, more concentration on a couple of larger swing trade positions.
    I've found that psychologically I can't handle my stops when too diversified.

    So right now my wife and I trade the same portfolio, she does her thing, I do mine, but we ask each other advice as we both have strengths and weakness in different areas.
    Gold positions atm is where all our profits are coming from.

    My trading decisions come from an algo (actually I run several) and my wife she is very good on fundamentals.

    For years I've always gravitated toward penny stocks.
    They are very dangerous, but with experience you can swing the odds in your favor.

    Line on eating this loss on the NQ is so thin..... I want to add to it shkrt but then it's very possible tomorrow is a bounce day in the market and it gaps on me
