Position size is EVERYTHING with the Systems.
I learned the hard way as well when I ran out of $$ to make
the necessary subsequent entries. I couldn't turn the losing trade
into a winner. I now keep enough liquidity to handle 3 entries on a
minimum of 2 systems. I try to make that for 3 systems whenever
possible (so 9 potential entries).
1st entry the ETF, 2nd the 2x ETF, 3rd the 3x ETF. I shy away
from using options for the Spy System because the decay often
killed the trade, even when it worked using ETFs.
Stick with it!
