'Doesn't really matter'! Then how could you say it's attainable or even gauge if it's an acceptable return and the most productive use of capital? For example a 6-figure return on 200 bucks would be unattainable, 6-figures on a million ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I'm assuming you're talking money here and not percentage! Of course it attainable but it's meaningless out of context. Just saying '6-figure annual return' without giving any other numbers means nothing, I'm surprised a supposedly profitable trader ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, I think you're confusing leverage with your brokers margin requirement!

Ummm, what about M6x? ".....start to inform yourself about whats going on....." Yeah, right.......

Well lookie here, a new contestant for the SPIT (Stupidest-Post-In-Thread) Award! Not even close buddy, you're competing with some of the best, have another go!

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Ah right, so now it's a constitutional issue is it...... Yep, when all other sensible avenues of argument fail just go right for the 'freedom of choice' card, works every time for pretty much any subject! It works better if you're an ethnic ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Sorry, what does that have to do with anything? Better to argue the subject rather than start guessing whether someone is profitable or not, it's irrelevant in this discussion. Yeah I'm not sure timeframe or trading style is really going to help ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Why not just open a live account, with most brokers you don't even need to fund it.

no time limit demo's

Oh boy, it's a hard decision to make.......nope, I think kibescorp's post about "Leverage isn't just about what position(s) you have open, the sum of all your open orders are also included when the margin is calculated." takes first prize for ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

No, fortunately not! I wouldn't wish that task on my worst enemy! lol, who said I care, I'm just replying to inane comments from people who object to the reduction in leverage seemingly without any justifiable reason. It's a done deal anyway, why ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

I realized it was a statement, and again goes some way to explaining the failure stats in other types of business as well as trading, people don't think or prepare, and they have no idea of what they're getting into. The inevitable happens, to be ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

The deposit protection issue has already been mentioned in this thread here, here, and here, and probably numerous other places, obviously you either missed it or you've dived into a discussion without looking. Either way not a good trait for a ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Yep, that figures!

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Not p'ticularly, come back when it's 10:1

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

lol, well make your mind up! It's funny that in all these threads whinging about the reduction in leverage not one person has given an example of how they (would) use >50:1, not one. They want something but they have absolutely no idea what to do ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

Too easy!

Can I call the Oanda trade desk if I lose my connection ?

So lobby for that instead of more leverage, you'll stand more chance of someone in authority actually taking you seriously and more chance of the majority of traders supporting you. I don't remember anyone saying that. I don't remember anyone saying ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

That I believe is the true test, everything is easy with hindsight. Most genuine mentors/trainers are prepared/able to demonstrate in real time and offer free previews to potential clients before asking for a dime.

Mentors & Tutors for new traders

Their policy used to be they would only close trades by phone if there wasn't any other option, they wouldn't open or manage existing positions (ie move stops etc). It may have changed now, don't know. How about asking Oanda themselves?

Can I call the Oanda trade desk if I lose my connection ?

lol, you quoted my post which said.... "Can't comment on his strategy because I don't know what it is, although from what people have said in this thread it seems to be averaging with extremely small positions. On the face of it not an effective use ...
