{quote} Selling? Sell signal is over 2 hours old. In consolidation now. I don't trade this pair, so not going to look too hard. It's collapsing, so could go either way soon. If I had entered at the sell signal, would be holding, but waiting for reverse. And he has deleted...lol. Must have bought. So, there ya go. High jack the thread. Propose fake business. Make friends with asshole. Show trading charts and recommend trade. Nothing to OP. But...I am wrong for thinking he has the right to do all of that and then delete it. You are an intruder and...
Dkrock, I think it's time to move on. The OP has abandoned his thread, and I can't blame him.

The question is why would you want to trade x1000 lots? Or put another way, how much money do you want to make? Could it be possible to carry on trading x100 lots and still make a pile say in another 2 years(800 trades)?

{quote} Ok, but I was interested in the topic of the thread, before it got off the rails. Right now, I am trading 12 accounts across 3 brokers, and use a cool software tool to help me manage trades across these accounts. Two accounts are reserved for long-term trades (open for more than a few weeks), and 10 that are dedicated to short term trades. The guys in my trading group use a variety of brokers, but some of them are trading very large accounts. Was hoping for a focused discussion on this topic, but apparently two guys are exchanging hand jobs...
Are you using the FX Blue Personal Trade Copier or something else?

Hi. Something else developed by a few members of our trade group. But the point is, there are ways to trade multiple accounts to mitigate broker risk and to get around FIFO regs in the US to manage large positions. Good trading!

but you can manage broker risk with many ways inside a good broker (spread to many brokers is done at beginning or with small money maybe, but later its near impossible) , even much better then with any splitting broker money.

the fifo reg is only a programming thing, if you program it correct, then its unimportant. and what regulation have US different to europe, that large positions are not possible in one good broker? at the moment i dont understand the arguments, because i have seen this so often before and all changed from copying after learned in "better" more easy way or had going over the first learning years.

Thanks so much dukas.

It really explained why I lost trying several signal service over the years. I did my best with research on the providers. Always having great reviews. But always being a scam.


I also think people that sell trading systems are all scams too dukas. Do you agree with this ?

{quote} No FIFO on IC markets as far as I know!
US adopted this a few years ago, and I've hated it sense its inception. Wish I could open accounts in the UK but that was also banned when FIFO sprang to life. But after the CHF thing a few years ago, I'd spread my broker risk among multiple brokers. I had most of my money at FXCM then and spent a few sleepless nights wondering if they'd fold. Got out the very next day. Good trading!

Yep, I've conquered the markets by writing about 20 lines of code that monitors an email address and places trades.

You are right. You can place as many trades as you like on a pair and close them in any order you wish.

Can I rephrase an earlier question? What's wrong with carrying on trading x100 lot trades? Is it just to parlay your 1.4 m to greater equity highs, and if so have you got a number in mind?

I suppose yes, to increase the equity. It's almost like a game now.

I have a very nice lifestyle without this money so why not see how far it can go.

If you are facing issues while increasing lot size more than 100 then did you try to place multiple orders with less than 100 lot size so that you can have more than 100 lots in total? Just thinking if there's any option with currently available settings

It would have meant rewriting part of the EA that places trades which would have meant a lot of testing.
I only wrote it to manage one trade per pair.

Maybe you could check manually whether it works and also the leverage issue you mentioned is also resolved while multiple trades and if so then you can think about modifying the EA, otherwise you have to think of something else

{quote}it should not take more than 60 mins to test this out
You would only do an hours testing on a program that places trades worth tens of thousands of pounds?

If I was making a fundamental change to the way the EA works I would test to make sure that the outcome of every trade I've ever taken would result in the same (or similar) profit/loss. I assure you it would take more than an hour.
