I rarely enter trades of 1 contracts. I use Ninja Trader and it splits the trades up. If you want to know the exact distribution you'll have to...
Sorry but I have not written about my rules in this thread yet. Gabe
I am trying to think of an analogy to trading single or multiple contracts in other fields. The first thing that popped into my head was working...
Psychologically 3 contracts are the optimal number for me (not that my trading reflects that, but...) :) 1st exit is to cover expenses and to...
ND if it is not too much to ask, can you post a 5min and a 1min chart to clarify what you wrote above regarding the 9 trades? Thanks Gabe

As I wrote in a previous post, b/c of the fact that some of my stats were not correct (Ninja limitations) my targets and stops were off the mark....
3 trades today. The 1st one had a marginal signal. Ended up in a small loss. 2nd and 3rd trades were by the book and hit the preset targets. 2...
While reading some of the posts here I noticed that many people advocate looking at trading as a business and to leave the ego behind. I also...
4 trades today. Trade #1was derived from an alternate data source (primary data source did not show a valid setup) - not profitable. Trade #2...
