The hardest thing about commodity trading is the stops. I don't quite have enough in my account. I trade on 20k...but I just don't think it's enough. I don't want to take big losses. It's seems like my average loss is $1500 per trade.
If I go any lower on a stop I get stopped out all the time. Any advice out there. I think I should trade more on 50k

Trading futures contracts carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade commodities you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
Good post. The hardest thing about trading in general is getting stopped out....for me it is any way. There is nothing more frustrating than coming close to making a big gain and getting stopped out.
I like that trade that you posted it takes some capital to trade (the two options and then the margin for the short position). I like how you use the two options as the stop.
