btw, again, you don't need to risk it all. Like today, you could have started out with one contract and added a couple of times during the day, at least until NQ blew through 15160
THAT's the trap they want you to fall into. Scaling up is a very very bad idea with these companies, because it can all be lost in a minute away from the keyboard. Firms like TST know this, and pray you do it so they can get more money on your next reset. 15 contracts on a max drawdown of 4.5K is the most ludicrous idea I have ever heard. Ever. And "OOOOH! IF YOU HOLD A FUTURE THROUGH THAT 1 HOUR WINDOW THE CME IS CLOSED, YOU WILL WIPE OUT OUR COMPANY!" Fucking pathetic.
Yeah, I have. Hate them. So, let's do the math. On 15 contracts long, how far does the NQ have to move (in points), to hit the $4,500 drawdown limit? Go on, we'll wait.
