Disliked{quote} This is not a cent account. Go look tickmill up. They do offer high leverage for their VIP accounts and under tickmill prime. This is not my only account. I have been trading for some time and am willing to take some risks for good return. I am only making this record public because I am new here, and want to cut to the chase and show that I really do trade in size. I have more proof if you wish, but would you know of anyone who does trade in larger volumes?Ignored
DislikedHi Dukas Trader, You seem to understand leverage and big money. Can I ask you as an intraday trader (5m Auctions) with big account (for retailer) say $1m is 200 lots realistic? Is it better to have zero leverage than 100:1 with bigger money? I use Axi Trader. What do you think of them? They have been very good to me so far. Could they handle bigger money?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Which is why I have always advocated using sl tho I don't have to especially if I am tracking my trades. In addition: 1. We can only know to follow the footprints of the PA and Nobody can know what price will eventually go but its imperative you must know when it turns. And when it turn, beside exiting and executing a new trade you must also know whether its just a pullback, retracement, consolidation or a intra-day reversal in order to set your target price. Reward Ratio must be at least 2x or more than the sl depending on what the market...Ignored

Disliked{quote} total wrong question. there is no pro trader who dont use stoploss, only maybe pro traders who call themself pro trader but are only still beginners. when you dont use a SL (and hedging for the beginners is also a SL) you cant calculate your risk, when you cant calculate your risk at all. then you are not really a trader, you are a gambler.Ignored
Disliked{quote} All professional trading & investment organisations have a risk management function of some sort because they don't want the firm to go broke on the outcome of a single event or trade. It can be any combination of stop loss systems, hedging, VAR (value at risk) analysis or many other statistical variants. But they do not conduct business without risk management tools in place, it's a fundamental part of the operation. But they still can & do go bust because enormous black swan events take them by surprise, things their risk models suggested...Ignored
DislikedWhat good is a stoploss if it's not honored by the broker during such events? I remember reading posts from a few people complaining that their stoploss was ignored during such events and their accounts blew up. You pretty much have to be a professional in the industry, a city trader, if you're going to use stoploss because that's how the professionals generate the liquidity they need (by hunting your stops). So you'll hear all day from the professionals about the importance of stoploss but that's because: (1) they know where to place theirs, and...Ignored
