test. I'm not trading now so I spent some time watching Al Brooks , Dave and John Carter . Wow ,at 1 time I thought I was a "scalper" ..I was doing almost everything wrong . I'm convinced to be successful a trader has to discover what method or stage of trading fits his personality . I co...

No profit cushion on prop account. That thing keeps trailing. Yes, I came to the same realisation while I was away just now.. there is no cushion on prop and anything less than an equity high is simply closing the gap between that high and the liquidation level. Upside: I'm $836 closer to my Apex g...

Bulenox eval account update: Net +0.165% for the day, +0.586% cumulative, target 6% Made a very nice zline test trade upward with almost zero drawdown; but got chopped up a few times afterwards, eroding my profit. I was wrong twice buying the lows on half my usual size - the damage added up, but ov...

I recommend metals, energy, and agriculture: as our world comes to an end, it is important to shift your money away from digital products and into tangible asse...

Full size Corn and Wheat look like this.

Full size moves $50 per cent move.

5 Wheat contracts margin $15,000
Risk $10,000 for 100 cents worth of Drawdown for 2 contracts

5 Corn contracts margin $12,750
Risk is also $10,000.

I think I have it correct now.

I mixed up some numbers in my previous post. So mini-corn amd mini-wheat both are 1/5 of a full size. That makes them $10 per cent move. 5 mini-wheat margin size is $3000. Risk can be $2000 or about 100 cents of drawdown for 2 contracts. I see some nice 10 to 30 cent multi-day runs. 5 mini-corn marg...

Different Corn

CFD account update My Corn trade has pushed higher again - that congestion zone at the bottom of the chart held out (I was within about 1c of being stopped out). I have 2x units on and am currently content to see what happens. Currently up 5.5% on the account, but another retrace would see that zer...

Now why would I have three instances of SierraChart running? I'm sure it's Alias' fault :-) 2023-10-13--why-three.jpg While I'm grinding away at my Bulenox account, I'll run a (discounted!) 50k Apex account on micros (initially trading 1 MES for each ES I trade on Bulenox). And while I'm doing that...
