  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
