Sean,
I'm not sure where you have gotten this idea that you need to 
trade (or we trade) in two contracts format.  It would be your choice how 
you trade your account. You may decide to go one contract at the low level and 
another contract at the higher level. Then your argument may be 
correct.  But if you decide to go only one contract then you'd need to 
manage your account accordingly. In my email I provide a range and tell you how 
I keep track of the signals performance in advance. How you trade the market 
between those two levels is up to you. The purpose of my email swing 
advisory service is to provide some entry, stop and exit points.
 
What bothers me that you keep on discussing about trading two 
contracts one at lower level and second one at higher level which I don't 
know where in the General Guidelines I have said that. I hope you are not 
sharing the signals with other people who might assume they should 
trade two contracts.
 
Best, Ned

  Subject: [RT] Multiple Contract entry 
  doesnt seem to make sense??????
  
  In trying to reason through this....I would like 
  some comments. Lets say the market is at 880 on the S&P and i want to go 
  short at 890 and 895. One at the low end and another at the high end. Doesnt 
  that mean that all of my losers will be for 2 contracts and several of my 
  winners will only be for 1 contract. Fowllowing that....it would then seem 
  that if I had twice as many winners as losers I would only break even, 
  assuming a 10 point stop and profit target.
   
  I am having a discussion with someone about this 
  and would like some feedback....although it seems obvious that with this 
  method a 67 5 win rate breaks even....before commissions.
   
  An example
   
  12 trades 
   
  8 winners at 10 pts    
                  
              80 pts
   
  4 losers at 10 pts but on 2 
  contracts       -80 pts    
      
   
  Total        
                  
                  
                  0 
  pts
