Hi,

If anyone trades at $1m or more, or has any insight, could you answer me some questions?

- What's the typical leverage you use

- How tight is the spread

- Do you have to "request" multiple positions, or do your orders get filled, no matter of the order size? (what's ~about the maximum lotsize which usually get's filled within some seconds in a range of 1 pip?)

- What's the ~maximum leverage available


Thanks in advance, (and please just respond if you know what you're saying )

If you become friendly with "@davidpotts101" on twitter I'm sure he will answer your question (he might not though).

I believe he has a rather large managed account where he trades over 5mil trades often. I think I have seen him trade 25mil so most likely has over 1mil in funds.

I am not promising anything but one can always try.

it's a variable answer, as money is spread across various brokers due to insurance - as only covered up to 250k. spread and fills should never be an issue if you know how to trade and aren't trading an obscure currency that will just end up being correlated to a more liquid pair anyways.
I don't know why you would ask about leverage.
