 Trading Futures, options on futures and retail off-

exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.

 You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable

for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.

 You may lose all or more of your initial investment.  The lower the day trade margin, the higher the

leverage and riskier the trade.

 Leverage can work for you as well as against you; it

magnifies gains as well as losses.

results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

 Varies with the time frame.  Captain Obvious says…The higher the

timeframe, the greater the risk.

 You generally risk 2-3 ES points to make one

point using the 4500 share chart.

• Sometimes this can be more so move the stop

somewhere “in between”

• My philosophy – keep the stop further away but

always be ready to flatten it

• Trust the momentum of the strategy you set and

always option to bail out before your stop if momentum stalls

 2000 share/volume bars  10 ticks per trade equals $50.  In/Out. No runners.  Twenty ticks per day.  That’s $100 trading just one contract.  This may take more than two trades if you

take a loss, but once you are net positive 20 ticks on the day…you are done.

 One contract, two ES points = $100 per day.  $100 per day – not a bad start.

• After one month of consistently making two ES

points a day, increase to two contracts.

 $200 per day, $1,000 per week.

• After one month of consistently and profitably

trading two contracts, increase to three contracts.

 That is $300 per day, or $1,500 per week.  Get the Picture 

 Tight trailing stops of the previous bar’s low,

• r some other method that works for you.

 Whatever you do, move the stop to B/E.
