- Returns on trades are based on my own positions, not the underlying market prices, unless otherwise noted. Returns from closed trades include trading fees. My own return may differ from the return of the underlying index, security or commodity because of variations in how the security I use tracks the market. In some cases, my return is based on a leveraged fund and may also include currency exchange into Canadian dollars.

Alex,
Your S&P 500 stop level is 7.77% - wouln't this trade be stopped out by now?
Thanks.

Hi Ken,
As noted, it's a 200% leveraged trade. Thus, I double the stop level so it would be closer to the same as the underlying. My position size is also no more than half the maximum in a 200%leveraged trade.
Regards,
Alex
