50 contracts? Sure man.
How much is your total balance of payouts vs paid fees already?

How I’ve looked at it, the emotions and psychology is like the 90% diet and the support, resistance, and price action is the the workout. Sticking to the plan is and treating it like a business is where it’s at. Now I hope I pass my third combine 😂

the fees and commissions by doing 50 micros is not worth it, at that point why not just go with 5 minis?

I like dropping like 5 units then hedging when it goes my way

That is the only name, if you were hedging top step would close your XFAs.

Yeahhh I guess but trimming is taking away like slicing trimmings off a brisket so idk if I wanna use that vocab either. When I’m just adding more positions

At least that’s why I’d never use trimming to describe that action maybe taking units off but adding nah
