> > When posting results can you also include return on investment (%), > Return on investment can be very misleading, especially with futures. Let's say your account size is $100,000, you traded 1 ES contract, and made $5,000. One could calculate the return on investment as 5%, but in fact, it's more like 200%, because the required account size would be about $2500. Then again, the overnight margin is twice bigger, so once again, you'd need to adjust your return for that. Aside from that, the return on investment doesn't tell you anything about the risk taken in the process. I much prefer the PI as the measure of performance and success.
