What would you do with a Billion Dollar Forex Account?

Imagine what you would do if you actually figured out a way to make, say, 2% per day on your Forex account. Now, obviously, anyone who could actually do that would have ALL the money in a few years. But, just as a matter of discussion, how would you trade if you HAD to trade an account with $50,000, then $1 million, then $100 million, then $1BILLION, regardless of how you got the funds. I mean, who hasn’t done the spread sheet:”If I only make X% per day, in Y years I’ll have Z Billion!” But what would be the actual mechanics of such a wondrous setup?

I’d imagine that, as you trade your way up the ladder, you’re not going to get the 200 to 1 margin (50 to 1 in the US) for long, and you’re not going to stick with your FXCM or Oanda account. So, what are the next levels up? How would you set up your trading system for an account of:

$50,000

$1 million

$100 million

$1 BILLION

Looking forward to hearing from those with first hand, or even second hand, knowledge of how these types of numbers are traded.

Have fun.

Withdraw it, chuck it in a bank and earn $1 million dollars a week in interest for the rest of my life.

I would do what CindyXXXX mentioned since there isn't much point in trading anymore. You have all the money you will ever need to see and do stuff you always dreamed about. Why waste time staring at charts to make more money then you will get a chance to spend in your lifetime?.

Cindy you said it!

I would shoot for a trillion, then a quadrillion, then a quintillion, etc...

I wouldn't be staring at charts to do that, but I would be buying/(selling) industries and leading new industries and investing my money and using all sorts of vehicles. (That even includes war!)

I woould buy a big ICE CREAM and then eat it and then I would drink a big cup of COFFEE!....

Withdrawing is the smartest thing!)))

I'd barter down the $5 withdrawal fee my broker charges to $3.50, just to be a dick

Make 5 more...... then start the largest Trading School in all Countries, then start to Teach People how to Fish, FOR FREE
The best Teachers money Can Buy off course....

I'd put new tires on my truck.

Diversify and invest in real estate. Yields are overall higher than simple bank interest. Plus you have assets that work with inflation.

I guess I didn't adequately explain the purpose of my post. I thought it would be interesting to learn how currencies are traded at the higher levels.

So how about this:

How does one TRADE FX with $50,000, $1 million, $100 Million, $1 Billion? There's no "put it in the bank and live off of the interest", and no "get out of currencies and invest in ......". You trade currencies. That's all.

I suspect that you could keep a regular Retail account at the 6 figure level, maybe even 7 figures, but beyond that, I would guess that you would not be getting nearly as much leverage and possibly have to trade with banks directly. I really have no idea, but thought it would be an interesting discussion.

Any serious input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You started this thread with "Just for laughs" what types of responses did you think you would get?? Then you end your last post with "Any serious input would be appreciated".

Yep. You're right. Completely my fault for a flawed setup. Appologies to all.

NOTE. I have removed the "Just for laughs" part to more accurately represent my question.

Thanks.

Invest in projects , startups etc. Who actually provide something usefull/sustainable for mankind

right on... my account manager today told me they had a client who turned £6k into £6 million in 8 months... they couldnt figure him out... was never interested in talking to the brokers for a meet up - what his vision was on the markets... lived in a house which cost £110k...

carried on trading... BLEW UP £6 million back down £6k in around the same 7 month period...

you make cash you cash in and tell market to Go **** itself...

Yes, there's two sides to every sword. And wow, another rags to riches to rags again story, there are many.

The more size you tradethe harder is to fill your orders. If you want to buy 10,000 tires for your truck you need someone willing to sell you 10,000 tires. If you just want one new set then that shouldn't be such an issue.

That's really the only difference I can think of, plus you would probably need to diversify a bit more, the larger amount of money you have to reduce added risks such as opportunity costs, inflation, transfer fees, and the many fees and commissions involved in scouting the liquidity you will need for your trades which at those numbers could be quite large. . I doubt you would get 200:1 leverage on a Billion dollar account lol that would just be ridiculous so I guess your profit factor and buying power would reduce your % return,r and therefore the game would be an entirely different one to that of your regular 5k-100K retail trader.

In short I think your fees would increase and your leverage decrease the more money you have to trade with, increasing the need for passive income flow and diversification.

But as I have no direct experience with this predicament it's just a guess and an attempt at a serious answer. You might want to hear from skinobi, fudomyo, fti etc. someone whose worked at an institutional level in the real world.

lmao
