1. In the beginning don't put too much trading equity to work until you gain experience with your system. 2. Don't be fooled by an upward-sloping equity curve that spans decades. There is real pain in those drawdowns that look like little blips. 3. Beware of systems with a low profit factor (< 2.0) ...

In your case: Entry Fill = $21.27, Dollar Risk Per Trade = 1% of $250K = $2500, and Quantity = 1996 Therefore: Stop Price = $20.02 The...
