DislikedHi Breeze,
I'm still trying to understand your strategy and you're probably right when you say I never will.
But I'm gonna keep on trying.
For instance I have a question about the above.
There are a total of 55 trades in this, not even counting the hedges.
Now 55 trades *10 = 550 units which if you're trading in contract sizes thats 550*$100,000 = $55,000,000.
Now I may have missed something but if you are trading normal contracts then to fund that sort of trading even at 100-1 leverage you still need over $500,000 in your account notwithstanding the hedges and drawdown. Take those into account and I think you probably need at least 5 mill to be comfortable and avoid margin calls.
Ok, so lets assume your not trading full contracts but minis at 10k - that still means you need about 500k.
Sorry but the numbers don't add up for me - perhaps you could explain.
