Disliked{quote} I don't. I think I worded the original post badly. It was more of a general question - how do you trade when you need to stop using the retail brokers. I was extrapolating if my results carry on the way they're going at some point the broker limit would be reached. Prime brokers were mentioned but I think multiple trades using a trade copier is the way forward. I'd recently got to the stage where I was needing to trade over 100 lots was having problems at the time because the broker I'm using was rejecting any trades over 100 lots. The error...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Question was: One question why do you need to trade ×1000 lots please? My IQ is just 75. Forgive me, but by reading your answer, I did not get the idea behind... Could you please clarify why do you need to open trades bigger than 1,000 lots? Please provide an answer a 5 year old could understand, cause my brains are very similar to 5-7 years old fellas. I need simple answers I can try my best to understand. Thanks.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Everyone should read this post a 1000 times. You have nailed it Dukas. Unfortunately, you are the most misunderstood forum member on FF. You know your stuff a lot and folks are simply annoyed by your style of posting and ranting and not understanding the underlying message plus your persistence back and forth puts a bad taste for readers. I know you mean well. I agree with every word you have said in this post. Would love to read your perspective on measuring all stats via % instead of $ or pip within a trading plan or strategy. $ can affect...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Could you please share who you came up with the optimum risk% level based on winrate and r:r of 1 ? Perhaps a spreadsheet to play around with my numbers would be great. I have always ignored r/r of my individual trades and they are meaningless to me. Don't ask my why :-)Ignored

Disliked{quote} This is all very interesting, but how is it related to the topic of this thread? The topic of this thread is related to lot size and broker selection, and you are ranting on a completely unrelated topic. I know, someone said something that you think is wrong and you want to correct them, and are willing to make a fucking ass of yourself, and drag us all down this crap hole with you, until everyone acknowledges that you are correct and a brilliant trader, etc. Please, give it a rest and move on, as you have made your point about the kind...Ignored

Disliked{quote} This prompted me to write my own requirements for signing up for any Signal Service. This is what I would do if I were to become a Signal provider some day in the future. I have no idea if selling signals is legal in the USA. If it is, I would do the following: I will not become a signal provider until I have put my own money on the line in a live account for a minimum of 3 yrs, and a min. of $50K. I will hire an external independent auditor to audit and publish my trade performance on an independent ratings website that I can link to from...Ignored
