Disliked{quote} You have it twisted, He did not say he wants to trade demo. He said he wants to trade a small micro account live. There is a difference, not so.? What traders do not realize is that most successful traders invest huge sums of money in order to make money. In this way they trade without pressure. Too many traders invest $500 and expect to make a million. It ends up in trading high leverage and little margin for error, which ultimately leads to high pressure with mistakes and accounts being blown. This is what brokers and the retail world...Ignored
Wait... my broker is sending me a message...
"You are our most valuable client! Keep trying friend. There's always an option for more leverage if you're interested! However, if your balance goes negative you'll have to pay us I guess...
Best regards!"

Conventional wisdom with which Zebi doesn't agree works best in this case in my opinion. 2% or max 3% of the equity should be risked on one trade. Also avoding trading the same currency and actually risking 4% or 6%. If you go long EUR/USD and GBP/USD and risk 2% on both trades, then you actually risk 4% on the USD (one currency). Lower the TF, fewer the pips and higher the lot size. That's it... keeping it at 2%.
