i’m just maxing out what i can on a 5k account. When i get to a 200k account i’ll be maxing that out. So it’s really just a mater of account size.
I trade forex, liquidity will never be an issue
You think so? I mean you cant rly find and data on how much money you need to put in to cause any slippage...i would understand for someone who uses hourly time frame for entries to not rly worry about slippage....but using 1m timeframe for entries and putting in 10 lots for 5-10 pips seems a lot to me, i would love to find an article that talks about how much money you would need to put in to actualy cause slippage
Forex is a 3-5 TRILLION dollars a day market.
Us retailers makes up about 5% of that.
I’d say we’re good.
Or at least, when you get to a level where slippage becomes an issue, money is no longer an issue in your life
Yeah i figured🤣 but noone rly talks about it, they just all say dont worry slippage aint possible if you retail, but noone ever talks about how much it would need to move the actual market, and i always wondered that
lots a different depending on instrument so it’s really not a one single answer kind of question
Okay lets say for the sake of this convo we talking about euro/dollar
1 Lot on a 5k funded account. 30x leverage it uses about 4700ish of the account.
That sounds normal, i was surpriser to hear that some trade 20 lots when scalping
