Did just fine today...caught 40 points in the S&P with a one lot.  Bailed out 
after about 13 points, decided to forget trying to fine tune retracements, 
and just got back in.  Wish I had the account size to trade with 1 SP or 5 
minis (equivalent money), unfortunately I did it with 1 mini.  Wish it had 
been more today, of course.  More days like today and I'll be able to 
increase my stake.  Trading one lot, I have mostly little winners and little 
losers, but once in a while like today, a big winner.  Trading the e-mini has 
been a lot easier since my broker switched over to letting me send orders 
straight to a machine, giving me near instantaneous fills.  When I had to 
change my stops through a person, I always hesitated to call them...hated to 
bother them for a small change, so I lost money.  Now the computer never 
complains.
