Learning from this, multiple accounts will be opened with reduced capital. Additional accounts will be opened every month. The starting capital of each new account is relative to current account balances and total availible capital. Should both accounts
2. Future positions for DCA will be decreased from 5% to 2.5%. Closed trades were taken with 5% risk and hit PT immeditately. However, the current NU position is creating substantial drawdown to build into a full DCA position. At 5% risk, most DCA trades are extremely high risk with one to two trades is enough to blow an account. Drawdown limits additional trades in order to manage risk which prevents additional market exposure. Halving position sizes and utilizing multiple accounts will allow for more diverse positons.
3. Reducing risk to preserve capital allows for far more freedom to gain market exposure. Multiple accounts also allows for using multiple approaches. Oppourtunities are always present within the market. Current approaches are defined as dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) and Hard SL (no add-in positions). Testing a new market approach likely to be released in October.
