I've been trading profitably for awhile now and built a fairly small account $1000 starting balance, to a pretty decent size. Recently I've been having a much more difficult time trading. My system relies on tight stops and high leverage. My stops seem to be getting hit much more frequently as of late. I always thought I would be the last person on this forum to blame anything on my broker and I'm still not saying my broker is the problem. Just wondering if anybody who has built up a smaller account has encountered some issues as their account grows. I'm thinking perhaps the amounts I was trading weren't significant enough to justify my broker hedging my position and maybe I've crossed a certain threshold where now they are hedging all of my positions causing more stops to get hit. Maybe I'm just paranoid but things just seem to have a different feel if that makes any sense. This is the only reason I ask. Thanks in advance.
