Besides that you have to work with a stop, even a soft stop will get you killed in this market. It might work out most of the time with a soft stop but the one time will take away all your wins in one move.
I agree with you on this part. It may look good theoretically - 1000 contacts 2 ticks-1 tick or whatever, but this isn't good unless he has a near 100% accuracy rate, and nobody has that.
