Target hit, and then some.
Summary:
YC Mini Contract
Entered 602 3/8
Exit 619
619 - 602 3/8 = 16.625 * $10/pt = $166.25
If I used the full ZC contract, as I've done in the past, the result would be:
619 - 602 3/8 = 16.625 * $50/pt = $831.25
The most important thing is not the size of the trade, its the technique. Once you have a methodology pegged down and you exercise the discipline to stick to it, its relatively easy to scale up. The hard part is converging on a good methodology. Then the harder part is getting your psychology under control. The final part is scaling up.
Scaling up is not technically difficult, but the added fear from a bigger potential loss tugs at you to raise your Stops too close and exit too early.
