Just a curious question for E Mini Scalper, will my edge start to diminish if I enter too many contracts at one go? Or should I 'time slice' it? Then the question is how many is too many? 20? 50? 100?

If you have to ask such a question, then i would highly recommend to not trade live.
Test your strategy in Demo for at least 3 months before even thinking about going live.
Then start with one contract and when you are profitable on a weekly or monthly basis for another 3 months, slowly increase your position size.

All the best,
Mike

I have a friend who only trades the first hour and last hour
