Did your Ninja Trader stop this morning? When I was trying to change the chart type and value no data would load.

I had to log off 2 x to solve.

I was not in front of my system yesterday, but when I got home it was still running.

Wednesday I found myself trying to tell the market which direction to go rather than it telling me.
Got caught in the chop.

this is for cme -reguarding leverage -test this on a sim that does not shut down over night-
why leverage kills all traders using multiple contracts-time posted 8:43est
using the june contracts -
go short 1 contract at 1356.50-

now allow the trade to run against you on purpose for at least


@ 1364.50 add 8 contract (ave = 1363.61)using 9 contracts

@ 1372.50 add 72 contracts (ave =71.51)using 81 contracts

@ 1380.50 add 648 contracts (ave =79.50)using 729 contracts

@ 1388.50 add 5832 contracts (ave =87.50)using 6561 contracts

so you see why leverage kills imagine 6561 contracts @ 1387.50 -every point is a 328k move

i believe this is the same principal as the grains of rice story from the nile valley
