    Hey guys,

    I also have a system that trades ES, w/ similar annual results.

    If your willing to share... I'm wondering how you have determined what is an appropriate amount of funding to have in your account per ES contract?

    I'm considering intraday performance bond + 2x max historical drawdown. For my particular system it would be $2000 + 2*($2200) = $6400 per ES contract.

    I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
