but honestly, why would you bring it down or say no to money your broker is willing to give you??? just trade with smaller lots if you don't like the risk.

well its worked the way I'm doing it so I'm not going to change - plus I trade credit derivs now and so less leverage is key.

FX until I had enough capital to trade bonds and other futures. A standard IT-DE 10 spread trade uses about 30k margin, so not easy with low amounts. (unless loads of leverage.)

I personally believe you from your understanding of instruments and market dynamics but, perhaps a good idea not to disclose account size to avoid unnecessary questioning that will require you to prove or have to link your account on the trade explorer.

14? You're very lucky to have gotten started at that age!

I consider myself lucky for starting when I was 19, and having excellent mentor along the way.

it's fine - my broker can't link to trade explorer and if people don't want to believe me (and fair enough, im 17) then they can. I don't care.

why 37xx is a target? {image}
That's a nice chart. I understand that 37xx is a zone based on history. But 3739 was not a known s/r line and hence the question.. normally we draw lines where it turned before.. the important stuff I believe are in the details
it is highly likely that i'm wrong... so dont follow me!

{quote} so you say, that there are new traders or investors out there that put 200K on the line and LOSE???
Well, if they put 200k on the line and come to FF to ask for it, I'd say, yes.
