Re: Ideas for establishing a capital base to begin investing - getting past first basThanks Wayne. I have read up on options, now moving into futures.What is EOD? If leveraged then through futures, you would have to place VERY tight stops (more prone to whipsaws) to preserve your capital base yeh?Otherwise, even trading one contract, a move against you by 10 points would hit you $500. If your base was 10k, that is 5% in one hit! Hence what you mean by "using fixed fractional position sizing, the same still applies *to your* actual capital"?Cheers
