that's a good point....small traders blow out because they're over
leveraged and they get nailed by those infrequent large losses.
actually, the stats i've seen favor a minimum of $50k+ account size,
trading only one contract; $100k is preferable, and $250k is probably
ideal if you trade a diversified portfolio.
leverage cuts both ways: big wins, and usually bigger losses.
