The volatility was so great around entry signals that staying in a position was almost impossible.  Twice I dug myself into a hole, only to get it all back when the new trend signal actually ensued.   Thus the use of micro contracts.   Keep the holes in your daily P&L as shallow as possible.   Trading in this environment is not for beginners...  and those of significant experience are being challenged too.
