A couple other questions, if I may: What's your commission/slippage-to-R ratio? I'm trying to evaluate a rough minimum capitalization level for myself... and what advice would you offer as far as 'due dilligence' on prop firms? Thanks for the insights!

and what advice would you offer as far as ‘due dilligence’ on prop firms?

I am assuming that you are still using the prop leverage that you mentioned previously.

If I had made my R equal to 1% of my account (like I want to do and what I am hoping to do next month) then the pink line would match the blue line.

I actually include commissions when I calculate my actual R values. Wow, that’s a lot of commission. I actually include commissions when I calculate my actual R values.
