Hi Debi,
I think that the main problem is too less knowledge about the things you trade and the way how you trade!
- trading objects: you should know about the stuff you trade. its character, factors which influence it (news, the BIG traders, and so on)
- the next step is to create a own trading strategy. There's so much literature about trading techniques. Not only entry, stop and target are points of a strategy! It has to be completed by money- and riskmanagement!
- fist I started with a few amount. It doesn't matter if you risk 2% at each position. The absolute money is different but the effect is the same. When you have a solide strategy then you can trade with large amounts. The only difference is the number of contracts you type in your broker system. :-)
I hope to help you.
Enjoy trading,
