Limit your risk (this was attributed to a posting by the Elliott Wave group, however, I was not able to confirm)
If you risk 50% – you will wipe out as soon as you have 2 consecutive losing trades – 1 chance in 4
If you risk 25% – you will wipe out as soon as you have 4 consecutive losing trades – 1 chance in 16
If you risk 10% – you will wipe out as soon as you have 10 consecutive losing trades – 1 chance in 1024
If you risk 5% – you will wipe out as soon as you have 20 consecutive losing trades – 1 chance in 1,048,576 (about a million)
If you risk 2% – you will wipe out as soon as you have 50 consecutive losing trades – 1 chance in 1,125,899,906,842,620 or about a BILLION!
Somewhere between 2-5% is the maximum amount you can risk
The average bank trader or hedge fund only risks 1% to 1 ½ % of the account.
If you can’t be successful trading a micro account, don’t go up to a mini account. Don’t go up to a standard account if you can’t make a micro or mini account work.

mornin' pips...downmove not over yet...possible retrace but i'm expecting a bloodbath on monday...210.50 first but i'm expecting it to go lower....baby
your words have reached my heart bro
however, if 211.50 is not taken out on a 4h level, i'm afraid the bounce will start.
