    It's odd, I refuse to pay that, but lose $100 on a trade fairly frequently.

    Well deserved payment for stupidity. Sometimes $ is the best form of punishment.

    Thanks, stopped on that last one for plus 4 right here. Refused to break down there. Holding can be tough, but the bigger winners help me a lot. It helps to make up for some bad entries. I'm happy I developed this mindset starting out though. Once my entries improve with more experience, I think I would have a chance to hit and exceed my $ goals. 10 points a week per contract net.

    30 per week average is likely plausible, some 50s, some -20s.

    Get consistent and any amount can grow the account pretty quick, higher = faster that's all.
