One more thing to add; most professional traders recommend not losing more than 2% of your equity in any single play. I would recommend starting at 2%, and decreasing that percentage as losses mount if you're on a losing streak. <br /><br />Furthermore, be weary of the fact that 6 plays in energy equities is basically 1 large play, as all 6 are highly correlated. Just something to be aware of when calculating your risk.<br /><br />Cheers! Good article dude!
