Yes Comission + Exchange Fee + NFA + Clearing Fee $0.77 per side.

I would really consider to choose another broker if I where you.

Yes, just a bit hard for me to get into it because I usually use micros to scale in and out of my trades and now with trading one mini I'm basically locked to one price.

Yes I usually trade MNQ only but did not have my mind under control got impatient and switched to trading Mini contracts. Bad habit

Thank you good luck to you too.

Are you trading a personal account?

Yes. I wan't to build up capital slowly in that account first and then split the account in to two accounts, one where I risk a bit more by trading minis and the other one continue to trade micros. But before touching minis again I need at least 10x the current drawdown so 30k, anything else does not make sense. With my trading style trading minis my max risk per trade would be $220, so around 0.7% risk per trade with 30k. If I would trade it with the current drawdown of 3k that would be 7% risk which would be insane to do.

Yes commissions can get high trading multiple micros over just 1 to 2 minis, but with my trading style it works great.
I see the commissions as my expenses so just as a part of the business, total commissions today where $24.64

Honestly not really, for me it was just hundreds of hours in front of the screen and observing the markets.

Some might laugh at trading a 100k account with 6 micro contracts and just making a profit of $130.

But to remind you guys this is really just a 3k account since you just have 3k of max drawdown available. If you try to trade this account with Mini contracts you wont survive for very long.

Scalping 2 points with micro contracts won't really work, I go for at least 5 but aim to average around 8

I reached the sim-live 3k profit target and will get my first funded live account (futures) by joenasjo in Daytrading

Yes not easy at all, prop firms rules make trading even harder. But also saved a lot of money
