Ken,
Just a word of advice. In that last thread not once did anyone mention trade sizes. It's all about prediction and direction. Trade sizes are far more critical than predictions and directions.
If strongly advise you to pay more attention to that aspect of the trading.

on a $500 start,
Thanks again

Depends on the rest of your strategy Ken. And the specific performance of your calls. What does the worst loosing streak look like? Can you survive it?
And if you drop trade sizes when you start loosing, how does that affect profitability ? What does the average losing streak look like?
Stuff like that.

To try and trade $500 is near impossible anyway. Smallest change you can do on a account is about $120 to $150. That's the value of 0.01 lots on a mini.
Your account is only $500, so right off the bat the chances of that account making it is about 0%. See if you can get some books from Van Tharp. He goes into detail about it.
Also the reason you can forget about that $5000 in a week.

Hey Tim Berry The other thread is still here- $500 to freedom .
Yo Pip That $5000 in a week was just lucky, But starting with $500 to making a fulltime income is what I plan with a live account someday. My plan says it should take 14 to 16 weeks, Thanks for your input, I'll read that book by Van Tharp,
Thanks all

Ya well. I also traded through that and my accounts hit new highs.
What was your intended trade? Euro or USsd, see that move was Eur. Had you had a diversified USD position you'd have survived. But you had a EurUsd which is both a Euro and Usd position with to big a trade on it.
Trade sizes, diversification. Risk management, you could use a hedging order as a stop in a different pair. Using an actual stop is pointless. But of course to hedge properly you need to understand trade values and so on...
It's really not about where you put down the trade. It's about everything else...which is much more than a stop.
