That's interesting, Airelon. Hopefully you will go into this further...I have had a difficult time organizing my plans for my investment account mainly due to the discrepancy b/t the two practices.

Now, you have this totally separate account (if I remember correctly) for investments. Do you then take a position just as you would with a trade, based on percent of capital risked?

por ejemplo:

Your $600 dollar investment would be 2% risked of a $30,000. You would then have a target, or some exit strategy where you (initially at least) risk the whole position.

Can you clarify and take me through your exit? Do you pick a strict target or do you finally have some exit strategy once the position is profitable?

Also, as to DCA of a position...you would only do this if your (let's say) 2% risked is on a $60,000 account where you would have a further $600 to add to the position?
