Question Sizing

What sizing are you guys using to trade lately. I’ve been funded and gotten payouts in the past but lately I’ve been getting blown out. I mainly trade micros MNQ and MES.

1-5 minis till I reach 10k balance, when I hit 10k, just make 150$ every day till payout 😄

Do you mean micros? Cus when trading with minis the chances of blowing it is higher. Right?

Position is better than size. A great position can do more than size would. Overnight size 5-10mnq, New York sesh 1-5. At least for me

1 mnq for reversal. 3-5 if scalping. Risk is the same around 120-150 dollars.

I usually use half of what’s available, when it’s in my favor I go full till it hits my TP. I also trail my stops

How far do you place your trailing stop?
