Well what he said was 4 Buys and 4 Sells. So let's say I Buy 3 times and cover..... Then I Sell once and cover. Now....did I Buy 4 Times and Sell 4 Times or did I Buy 3 Times and Sell once? Me, I'm not in, no. I never agreed with the rules (not these rules, the rules on slippage and so forth. For example, if I posted that I have a Limit Buy at 1320 even why should I be penalized for slippage? The only Slippage I could get would be positive. Not only that, but I've traded the Small Contract and my experience is that I rarely get Negative Slippage.) But I would only be able to post perhaps two or three trades a day anyway at most. Now, having said that.....sure I'm in if there is room. But I'll do it almost as Position trading. Only one or two trades a day. If I do more than that I won't be able to keep up with regular work so I'll just have to consider my Entries and Exits prior to the Open and declare the first trade early I imagine, the Second....if there is one.....by mid day and leave it at two trades total....Round Trip. Now, what's the deal, anything up to 10 Small Contracts using the Initial Margin?
