hello friends..
I got this question always that we place big amount of lot size in demo accounts. but what lot size you placed as maximum? apart from micro and standard lot size. Even if we place a big lot size as a retail trader, will the market maker manipulate that order? i mean can they move the market to take the stop loss? is it possible? and if it is a market order( not a limit order) so this information goes to everyone as in order list we can see the big orders ?? and If they can only the broker which we dealing can do this manipulation?? can someone help me?

I think anything is possible. It depends on if you have a reputable trader or not.
As far as demo's go, well, many demo's have at least some limitations, or less, than real trading. It all depends on the demo software.

$400-$500 a point.. I think even $800 a point at one time.


I think all markets are manipulated. It's a really tough business.

$200 but that was a while back..prefer to trade in small lots, low exposure and you know the rest..
And as for market makers, prefer to avoid it..no one likes a cooked up rate..

I never went above $300. Couldn't hack the thought of losing that much.

I trade a micro account, $500 and The largest lot size was 15000. My margin call was approximate 480 dollars. I wouldnt recommend it but I felt that I would be right and I made 50 bucks. Could of atleast made 75$ but didnt want to expose myself for too long/ market volatility.

I have been trading for about 2 yrs.First year with demo 2nd year live.I have recently came up with a little routine thats nets me 10 pips per day(10 pips cutoff) small account trading micro lots.My thinking is this, if I can do this faithfully(going on 10 weeks now),when I increase my account giving me the ability to trade say 10 full lots or $100 per pip.Are my results going to magically change for the worse even though Im executing my system exactly the same way.Has anyone been through a similar situation and could possibly shed some light on what to expect.Call me paranoid ,but I have seen some things happen that I can only attribute to market manipulation.Thanks in advance for any and all insights shared Happy Trading D.M

My standard Hotforex account allows me to trade 60 lots, however, I did try only 20 lot order. Trading with margin less than 10 K will kill your account pretty fast after one good candle

No one's going to call you paranoid but no, the market ain't getting manipulated and as long as you follow the same strategy you should do fine..

hey bro.. there is no common rule for trading as it is in the life, that how to live.. everybody have their own life style.. As far as if we are discipline in what we are doing, that is the winning.. keep going .. good luck.
