***Exemption***
For news impact trading, put all the money you got in the port and open maximum allowable contract size
1 contract size requires $3,850
EP to SL = 1.4 tick = -$140
Commission fee = -$30 (per 2 times position)
EP to TP = 2.5 tick = +$250
Risk/Reward Ratio = 1.47
%ROI = 250/3850 = 6.49%
Example
I have $50,000 in port
Maximum allowable contract size = 50,000/3,850 = 12.98 = 12 contracts
I will gain $250 * 12 = $3,000
I will lose -$170 * 12 = -$2,040
