Re: if you had to start over...

I understand that you are trying to keep the risk to a small % - but explain to me please what is the difference from the trades perspective if you place 2 contracts with a 5K account or 2 contracts with a 25K account. The market doesn't know.

I have found it easier to make $$$ by scaling out of positions which allows you to let the 2nd contract run ... the only way to make up for your inevitable stop losses.

Scalping makes your broker richer and you broker.
