I'll have to look into them. About time for a new comp. My alienware bogs down when I'm running 10 diferent charts with indies and all the whizbangs on them...and looking at facebook....and playing a strategy game at the same time...
I'm still running Windows XP 32 bit although this machine is 64 bit, It's doing pretty well with 4 monitors and about 12 charts opened.. One of the things that helps is the hard disk configuration which is Raid 0 (I think) for parallel access.. A computer can have all the memory it in the world, the disk access will kill it if it needs to swap..

If I don't want to buy another one, I'll have to upgrade to Win 8, buy some memory (as the memory decays in time) and some hard disks (these have a lot of bad sectors)..

When the wall is breached , the Defenses fall not matter how solid there are ... I'm waiting for the last wave that should drive the price to 22450 !

How are you managing risk on this position MaxDoom? Is your stop at the low of 1.2266?

Do you mean actually using the full amount of their available leverage with the highest possible lot size vs their account? That is, actual leverage used? If so what you really mean is using lot sizes much to large for the size of their account.

Because leverage ratio has absolutely no bearing on risk if you choose your risk percentage of account and divide that among one's stop loss.

Regardless of 50:1 or 400:1 leverage ratio a trader can still risk only 1-x % at his discretion.

If anything you want the highest levearage ratio avialable, as a lower leverage ratio (like the 50:1 we have in the US) means that you have less margin to work with, with any one trade, and if you want to have wide stops it less leverage leaves less wiggle room and forces you to use smaller lot sizes.

good ole USA took away leverage. i used to trade with 100.00 account and leverage made it seem like it was 1,000.00. with 100.00 i could trade at 4.00 per pip now it's around .50 cents per pip or close to that.
