    Yes but with that type of trading you are also open to being down huge on the day. It all boils down to probability. If there is a 70% chance you will make N on a trade and 30% you will lose a N then let the numbers play out and you will end up profitable over time.

  6. =====================
    100 contracts at first glance doesnt sound leke much does it;
    I mean after all, many houses /lands run in 6 figures/more:cool:

    Saxon22;
    Another way to study it, each ES contract=more than $$,$$$50,000.00.Multiply by 100 contracts.

    I wish paper trading equals real time;
    but not so.
    It does help however.Cool.

    In other words, ever looked at insurance companies & how they make money on risk ???????

    I am glad my insurance co never knew i drove drunk as a teen;
    watch this.They really rightly up the premium[$$$$] for high risk sectors like teens & drunk drivers. i am not saying all teens drive drunk like i did, but you get the high price risk point.

    :cool: Wisdom is profitable to direct.

  10. As always I can count on you to bring this unique level of conversation. As for freudian slip, you sure catch them quick. I hope your fisting battles are in safe and lubricated environment.

    As for my teeth, do not confuse me for the guys from the outback. You got some beauties there, I tell you, especially around Alice Springs. They take the CAKE baby!!!!! :D :D
