What is the highest lot size you ever traded?

I have been fantasizing about one day being able to trade with multiple lots, IE, 100.00 per pip or more. We all know that there are times when the market just gives you a no-brainer, high-probality scalp trade good for a few pips. I would love to have the means to trade set-ups and make 100.00 to 1000 per pip in a few seconds on a quick MOMO trade.

Has anyone actually done this?

The biggest trade I have done is £100.00 per pip on IG spread betting.

I chickened out after 7.5 pips...which would have continued for another 20 or so.

£750 was very nice in about 9-10 seconds but, I was still very new to trading, and lucky enough to know it.
Haven't done it since

I have contacted several brokers over the years and I believe most will happily accept "50 Lot" trades.

I dont know what a maximum "Lot size" would be. I did a poll on MoneyTec years ago, see pic below.

The attached pic might be of interest ....

You can do it, however when you trade decent lotsize (100 lots / 1000usd-pip) you will probably not get filled to the current Bid-Ask price, but a few pips away (i'm not really sure as of why it happen, this is not about lag-slippage, this is about consume the current offers of the first pips), depending on the pair you trade and on the time of the day, but with 100lots you will already experience such phenomenon even on the eurusd at london session (if you for example trade gbpcad on the sydney session, expect much worse!).

By the way, i found out the best way to avoid such kind of slippage (that cost a few pips on entry and a few pips on exit, anyway it's still about 4-5kusd spent in such way) is to use limit orders (you just put a limit-order on the current price instead of attack the bid/ask), not only you will get the price you want, but you can even experience positive slippage!

Great info spaceduck! and fairwind!

Personally I have had an accumulation of positions worth £230 per pip in total. This wasn't just one trade it was a series of trades built up in a USD/JPY long position that I traded from an average of 84 and finally covered just below 90. This position was built over a number of months and had fundamental factors behind it as well.

that would depend on the size of your account. You definitely need a pretty sizeable account to support that kind of risk(exposure). Of course, if you try that on a small account, you will be heading for the exits quickly. My current max loss per trade is .5%, and as my account grows it will become even less, to my losses goal of .10% loss per position.
