I like to trade my demo account using big lot size, 20 lots. I never try that with my live account. Anybody here trade more than 20 lots per trade using stardard live account? Can 20 lots moves the market?
Have a nice day! I hope everything is going well for you!

It can move your broker's liquidity (if it's a small broker) but as for market I not think so.

It can if its name is Chuck Norris. The Chuck Norris Crouton could round house kick the Great Wall of China all the way into next week and not break a sweat.

The Chuck Norris Crouton can move the market with a micro-lot and a dirty look.

Genious Opie. Where can I get these Chuck Norris croutons? Are they to replace the dollar? Wouldn't Chuck call them crumbs? (By the way, Titan, I like to trade my demos using 50 lots and up. What a great feeling, eh?)

When you blow up your live account, try to remember this time when you bragged about not taking your demo account seriously.

You could change your name from Titan trader to Titanic trader because if you are being that risky then you may find an iceberg that will sink your account before you reach your first port.
