That's the process I'm trying to figure out, but I didn't have much luck with the 10k or 20k unit size. I had set the account value to $1,000 and the leverage at 20:1.

Either my timing is off, or I'm just not catching the good long runs, because I couldn't seem to turn profitable before the mini-trend turned on me. Of course, it could also be that I'd been trying to shoot for trades that only lasted between 10 and 30 minutes, round-trip. Maybe sticking with a longer trade (holding through the mini-ups and mini-downs) is the solution? As of yet, I don't feel comfortable walking away from the computer for more than a couple of minutes while "trusting the trend." I try and watch it like a hawk.

I'll get the rhythm down sooner or later.
