I'm interested to hear how many large lot traders exist here in FF; say trading north of 100 lots per trade. I've been trading at 500 lots for most of the last 2 years; trading up from a $200 account I did not blow up some years ago. And I've recently learned that one of my students has traded up from his $200 account to more than $300,000 now; a solid result in 11 months. He's taken out $200,000, and continues with $100,000 at 100 lots per trade. I do NOT truck with ideas of 2% account risk per trade. Such conventional wisdom will NEVER make a...

Does anyone trade with 100-200 lots? I use one click trading and was curious if orders of this size have trouble getting filled this way. Any info would be greatly appreciated

The answer to your question obviously depends on if such an order is placed at a broker/venue that is optimized to handle such size or not.

For the institutional side this is regular ticket flow for all FX majors and will be no slower to fill than a standard lot with a regular retail broker, meaning instantly. Obviously the spread will be a bit wider though. Such an order will either be filled on a sweepable aggregated feed with multiple leg sweeps or through a direct quote from a single LP for the whole amount.

With a regular retail broker that is optimized for light retail flow then obviously it will cause issues with very long execution times and significant slippage.
