{quote} Hi civilpes, The Trading Station platform allows for order sizes up to 50 million per trade provided you have the funds in your account to put up as margin. The amount entered in the order window is in thousands, therefore 50,000 would denote 50 million for the trade size. Example: {image}

Hi Jason, I like trading the GBP/AUD and can cope with the 4 - 5 pip spread during the London session, but quite often the margin requirements are more than double. For example this morning (7am - 10am) a 100k = 5.79 per pip the margin is 2000.00 when usually it is less than half. I can understand it being high outside normal hours, but there dosent seem to be anything this morning as to why the margin should be so high. It is quite annoying and makes me contemplate the unthinkable! All the best.

{quote} Hi Jason, So, what it means is that we can trade maximum 5000 lots (in terms of lot size) if we have enough money as a margin amount, right ?

{quote} Hi civilpes, 50,000k is the maximum size per order. If you wanted to have a larger total position size in your account such as 200,000k you would need to place multiple orders. Jason

{quote} {quote} What I don't understand is if you're going to have a breakdown about FXCM, where is your outrage concerning all the other liquidity providers? When considering the likes of Goldman, Deutche, Barclays etc it's a veritable list of the who's who of criminals. So where does the "one is better than the other" idea come from, because as a retail FX trader you'll always be getting the short end of the stick? Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing about the ethical nature of their business practices, I agree that they're criminals, but what's...

{quote} idouble might I ask who your broker is and whether you trust them from experience. I still have small accounts with FXCM after removing the majority of my funds. In order to diversify risk I need a couple of decent brokers in the uk and would prefer some recommendations before going in blind If you prefer feel free to PM me rob
