My Follow The Money portfolio takes a LOT of small trades. The combination of a high HR and small allocations lessens the risk somewhat through diversification. There's a price to be paid though - the commissions can be a negative factor if you're trading a small account. This can be mitigated somewhat by increasing the allocation / trade (size of the trades), but there's a tradeoff in increased risk if a trade goes against you. I'll put together a table illustrating some of the combinations when I have time, but could you do me a favor? Please do a screen capture of your account settings using the procedure below, and confirm that the account is using $10,000 and whether you plan on using margin or not...? Thanks, Mark [Edited by Mark Holstius on 7/8/2017 11:09 AM] ![]() |
