In MB's example there's a $160,000 drawdown on 24 contracts if I read him 
right.

Interesting number, that's a drawdown of $6666.66 per contract. Just playing 
the devil's advocate here, what happens if you hit a string of losers with 24 
contracts on deck? How fast can position size shrink?

Thanks,
