{quote} ygr where did you enter short or long
Long.

It was a pullback? Maybe because market wasn't wavy enough?

Also I'm trying to figure out money management. Is it better lots of small wins or take a few losses and wait for a big gain?

Only you can answer that. mentally it is probably easier to go for smaller winners. then in theory the situation would play out where you are staring at a big winner you only took a piece of but have some wins for the day, as opposed to sweating bullets on every trade hoping its the runner that will make up for all your losses.

Finally....account is funded and I will start with Sim on Friday. I will be able to trade Monday, Tuesday and Friday each week. I'll stay with sim until I get back into the flow and rhythm of it. Feels good to be back!!

I'm making a note to myself that I keep on losing or +1ing on counter trend pullback trades which are not clean and I am not trading wavy patterns also I have been losing or +1ing if I try to chase a trend. In other words, I should try to get in early.
