    So you "scale" into 100 lots?

  2. No - it works out that my max position size would be 60 lots (10-10-10-10-20). The position is traded in a style I call the "accordian" so it is more of a dynamic position (where I am taking small portions of the overall position and scaling out and then back in with price oscillations all during the trade day). The position churns profits each day with the constant scaling in and out with each price drop and then rebound (while the core of the position is held looking for a primary price level target or until it hits a stop level).

  5. I do have a target for my 126.75 entries at 126.25 (+$.50 per contract - July contract) so that I am only holding my two highest entries. I always try to only hold a max of two levels so that I am always extracting profits out of the position as possible (always covering the lowest entries at a profit when possible) - part of the overall risk management.

  6. It is truly a shame that elitetrader has become a forum where this is happening much too often.

  7. Trade CL (and ES) in a private fund (2.28 million).

    PS: You may be in violation by posting your positions on here, if you are managing "actual" funds, which most of us seriously doubt, putz.
