bakrob99, I will certainly be scaling at some point. I really can't see though putting on 2 or 3 contracts with a 5k account risk wise.
Dalton really has my head swimming now. There was some quote from
Mind Over Markets about trading logic only coming from putting on trades, something like that.
So what you guys think about this. Instead of trying to make money on this first 5k YM account, set a goal of trying to put on 100 trades and break even? Use a 10 point stop and an automatic 10 point profit target. Then keep putting on 100 trade blocks with the same 10/10 stop/profit until i have made money over the 100 trades? Basically like setup batting practice. That would seem alot more logical than backtesting to try to see if you actually have positive expectancy.
