Day Trading Stocks & Futures

With discount brokers, whatever their brokerage calculators are showing are not correct when the trade is for multiple lots. Irrespective of abundant liquidity, the options in index are traded one at a time (even market orders) to add brokerage for every "trade" executed. So presently trading very selectively in F&O and more in cash.
In F&O trades the wrong decisions are very costly.
More comfortable with delivery trades:D
With proper position sizing, delivery trades are better manageable.

Thanks.
The challenge I am facing is to balance between two facts:
a) In a trade we can be assured of any outcome that will vary between the risk/stop loss and the take profit levels


b) Winning streaks are unpredictable and the method should be tuned to maximize these streaks - this will need dynamic position sizing and not some standard compounding logic.

Work is still in progress :) & any pointers are welcome
you may enjoy winning streak (backtest how long is that?) but u r gonna take the biggest loss (the trade which stops the streak)...

this system makes sense if ur winning prob goes higher if the last trade was a winner ... most of the systems r just opposite to this...

Multiple lots executed in different trades but placed in single order will be considered as one order so brokerage will be 20/- (for all trades)
However Bracket Order is different story
