Default I was calculating interest

and it is now apparant that at whatever your margin useage is at
THAT is what you can expect to earn in 21 days in NJ.

so the more lots you get the better return you will get on your account because you are using more of your available balance (margin) securing more lots. but the more you use the higher your risk, in the event of another run down. So I cancelled all pending longs going down. Once you are above 10% you can be ok. But it is sure not ok to buy more longs almost recklessly when your margin useage is above the ideal range of 2-5%

Now all my profit is stuck in there earning interest! ARG!
