And these are the time delay trades today. My next short is due in about 2.5 min. I figured out what I have been doing wrong with the real trades and will be making the adjustment with the next batch of cash I kick in. One contract equals $25 per tick with indextrade. with a stop of 50 ticks the required margin would be $1875. Using the game requirements $25 per tick would have me set at a stop set at 475 ticks. I gotta back off on my greed<g> The trades on Friday that I did I ran the first one with the stop at 90 ticks and thought I was being conservative .. stopped out .. loss .. tried again with a 50 tick stop .. stopped out again .. loss again .. only had enough left for a $1 per tick bet with a 25 tick stop .. stopped out again .. And all the while I was makin' grreat trades with the game .. OK .. I lived and learned ..
