I trade with Oanda and only have 50:1 Leverage

I know different brokers have different way....

Oanda allow you u use all your balance.
And be in negative up to -50% .. before you have a margin call...


Other calculate as Available margin

That is not an answer that has anything to do with leverage. It's an answer that has to do with margin requirements.
Please study further.

Aaron,

Let's rip the ass out of your statement and open a great big motherfucking can o worms here...

Let's take the absolute solids of the coding world of FF...

XUX
Raptor
Codemeister
Raygun
Hanover

And whoever else I forgot to mention...and what have they produced?

Exactly what others want them to make...

Why?

Because they know the code.

Do you know what that gets them?

A big fucking star beside their name on the refrigerator, but value added...ZILCH

Could these guys do the same?
I have my doubts. Really, why bag this shit up, if they could beat the market?

I've spent a couple years applying my knowledge in small steps to code and working for the 1 simple task that, if somebody wants to build a small account, could they?

The answer, quite simply, is YES!

You see....

It has always been stated that those that can...DO!
Those that CANNOT, teach...

And I think at FF there is a perfect fucking example of this.

Sure they talk the talk...but what has this done?

Ya know, I read a thread where Hanover was pissing and moaning about the new build code because he would have to re-write several hundred pieces of code...

And ya know what...

I've been working on the same piece of shit for 2 years and haven't had to do the same...

What does that tell ya?

I don't really cares or want to argue about anything in FF.
I just wanna make $$$ lol.

Manual trading from small account to make a living ... Almost Impossible.
Auto Trading from small account to make a living = Possible....

I'm kinda of a programmer so I understand how it works.
If you ever play Zynga Texas Holder Poker about 3-5 years ago...
If you spot like 100 of bot players ... That's Me !!!

Magix I really want to learn about your EA ...
That way I can just test with like 10 different setting on 10 small account...
I don't cares if it's only make like $20-$100 a day ...
Just as long as it auto .. who cares

It depends on how cheaply you decide to live and how much you desire to over leverage your account.
"Holy Grail" exists - accepting where is the first step.

I'll take back what I said before.
Small account can make a living only if you have patience and time to do it.
Just remember don't let one trade kill your capital.
Capital reservation is the most important in your journey.
Don't let one trade that's in heavy lost.
You will give up the rest of the capital.
Goodluck!

I made 300% in 4 weeks from $223 up to $939 so far.

You can make a small fortune with only 1000 dollars starting liq. I've seen accounts reach tens of thousands and then hundreds of thousands. But you also have to know when to quit, take your money and run

I think in one of his posts H Rearden himself said he started small and now (that was in 2011) makes 8 figures a year and that too in GBP.
