Hello Marci.
Last night I re-installed MT4 and gave it a $5000 balance and adjusted the min account to $1500, thereby allowing $3500 trading buffer for mini lots.
My setup criteria are attached. Today, flyer traded a long for 2.4 lots at 1.9546 cable for a loss of $1392, and a short for 1.8 lots at 1.9501 for a $1044 loss.
Having crossed from the dark side (futures trading), I'm not totally confident with my parameters and wonder if you would mind looking at the attached, and if you think this rather heavy betting is normal for the $5000 mini account.
Thanks again for everything.
