    Let those winners run more! You deserve it.

    10-15% dd on a futures account is nothing. Thats only -750 on a 5000 account. Heck thats one or two winners and youre back to flat. A good trader should be able to come back from that EASILY. Thats in the realm of a normal equity curve from day one and should not be a deterrent.

  2. Thanks Crispy!

    I never traded futures before TST. i traded spot FX. But did not like it.
    On the other hand I got hooked on futures. I just do not like indexes.

  10. Yes, I know. 2 days of those should have been regular size winners. I had insomnia for 3 weeks. was too excited thinking about getting funded and then of not getting funded an it caught with me on those 4 days. I think max daily loss should be within $350 but better $300. I would not have hit trailing stop then even with all mistakes.
