Hope everyone is having a good week :D

I was looking at the macro_2_macro chart post on 255.

So to it looks like space just in a more "boxed" way.

If i started at 4x8 at .40. I gain 1 macro (5x8) i then have options.
I can go to 4x8 again with .50
I can be cautious and go to 4x16 with .25
I can be agressive and go to 4x4 with 1.00
And so on.

I think its really cool.

Edit: just noticed Mo explained it in "Three charts" thread..

I am glad that you like it & I hope that it is more helpful than a list of waypoints and a pat on the back :lol:

Your previous list of waypoints (21.53%) did more then you know lol.
12 steps to a zero.. and like you said.. after you reach step 2 you know you can do no harm.

I could see it helping my trading with more stacking. That every 1 macro gained there would be a clear cut option for me to take
where as with the way i do space its a more a touch and feel kind if thing.

Pats on the back... maybe if you rubbed my back in a wax on wax off type of deal it could help my trading :D

Speaking of aggression, I think that we can get away with a minimum account size of 250 PIPS at each level if 3 out of 5 trades are EIGHTS &/or SIXTEENS.

Hi MightyOne,

Was reading an older post by you...

Are there any mind exercises that you can suggest which would help to develop ZERO EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT to MONEY?

I am thinking of exploring this option: http://wccm.org/content/interview-ray-dalio :-k

Thanks.

Ok so by 250 PIPS at each level you mean like at waypoint 1 it would be 250 x 3.2.
I dont get what you mean by 3 out of 5 trades are 8's &/or 16's :oops:

Yes, level one would be $250 x 3.2, but you could still stack higher than that using OPM.

What I meant to say was that, because of the protection from sudden price spikes that the larger macros afford, you can take on what appears to be more risk.

Yeah i wouldnt have it any other way :wink: and i like how the risk ends up at just over 1.5% 8)

Appears yes, but you would at step 1 only ever be risking 12.8$ .. 4x8 = 32 x.4 = 12.8 or 4x16 = 64x.2 = 12.8 or 4x4 = 16x.8 = 12.8.

So after gaining 1 macro we can trade like we have a 1k account using OPM and still only be risking 12.8$.. space for dummies 101? :lol:

Maybe i missed your point completly.. and i know you already know the math.
