Starting Balance = $50,000 AUD Restricted to trend continuation setups on ASX stocks.

Pav used 50% margin provided by IB even though they have stopped providing that to AUS persons. Not a problem as this was more an educational thread and the more trades the better.

Since taking over I've switched to a mixture of cash and cfds (on the larger position sizes). The leverage provided by cfds (5% - 20% margin) allows us to start a few more trades and include a few larger priced stocks along with the small/midcaps.

The individual trade risk is 1% of the starting $50K + realised profits with the max pos size of 20%. Currently the 1%TR has grown to $537 without the brokerage/commission.

The use of leverage means that our results shouldn't be measured against a start balance of $50K (even though they are) as we have occasionally used more than this. The pos sizes used (%) are shown in the EOW snapshots. The max amount used so far has been ~80K (160%) and only briefly.

Thanks for the feedback. It gets a bit quiet in here.
