I thought why not document something starting this May 2010
I started with a $5K acc, and wish to see how soon it blows out @ a fixed 80% margin per trade. Unless the trading system is pretty sound, this should 0 out within hours, but I just wish to see how many hours I can last.
Normally on live I trade @ 1% margin, but on this account I really need the cash so am chomping it out.
At the end of first 3 trades
