Okay that makes more sense--gotta punish the Hulk. I'm just thinking of a scenario where you hit -$100 on day 1. This means you have to sim trade for another 19 days. Nobody benefits from that. Personally I have a 3-step plan for getting back in the saddle after a Hulk day: 1. Take a day off (no opening DAS) 2. Take a No Trade Challenge (watch the markets but no trades--either sim or live) 3. One day in simulator 4. Back to live. You mentioned max risk per trade is $10. Trading 100 lots means a 0.10 stop. This is way too tight and you won't be able to survive natural 0.10 gyrations or normal pullbacks.
