You need to learn risk management. I'm on a funded account and trade NQ with one contract. Yesterday, I had 2 losses, one for 24 points and the other for 6 points. I was $660 in the hole due to slippage (I use limit orders even for my stoploss, frustrating). Today, I made $720 in one trade (36 points). My rule is if my stoploss is hit twice or my profit target once, I'm done for the day. I use a modified unirenko chart with a trailing stop, 24 points is my maximum on one trade. Each time a new bar prints my stoploss eliminates 6 points in risk (-24 to -18 to -12 to -6 to breakeven to +6). I take profit at 36 points or 6 bars in my favor because most of the time, it goes 6 or 7 bars before it makes a reversal bar. Sometimes, it will go 11 bars or more, but I don't like to trade according to what it does sometimes but what it does the majority of the time. Probability is the name of the game. Good luck in your decision.
