I have routinely filled 2 and 3 full lot positions in UJ at various time frames. Surely not the biggest.
UJ is usually quite liquid.

i have traded 100 lots or 10 million over two accounts, clicking at the same time with no issues. my friend was trying to tell me that you couldnt trade more than that at one time because there isnt enough volume on an average day.

As much as your money management plan allows you to do. For me it is 2 % of account.

what if your 2% is too large for the volume when you want enter at that moment on an average u/j day. at some point when is it too much for one click?

For instant execution ask market makers
To the point, on my Hotforex premium account max position size is limited to 60 standard lots. The max what I tried on u/j were also 10 lots (at the start of Tokyo session) and it'd been filled with 2 pips slippage. But I'm sure for such liquid market it won't be a problem to fill 100 lots easily, what I would consider the upper limit for retail trader.

I try not to trade with more that 1% of account. The certain amount of money depends on a position.

Never trade more than 2% of your account lest you wipe it off.

for me, depend on "failed" level calculation.
