YM + 21
YM +30
ES +0.25
YM +16...

Couldn't get fills when I needed them and got stopped out several times, only to see the market go in exactly the direction originally planned. Oh well, I kept my discipline and stuck to the rules. I eventually stopped because I hit my daily max loss. The platform they give me has a risk control facility built in but they give me just enough extra loss control to hang myself if I don't follow the daily max loss...
