Andy, You're right - the risk is all about where the stops are set, and about where those stops get executed in the event of 'freak' events suchs as halts and large gap downs. For me, however, this isnt a problem with the tradewin setup - 5% risk stops are fairly realistic for a growth...

I just fail to see where you're cooking up this level of gearing from. Nowhere, either in the trade history, or their stake recommedations, will you see them suggesting that you risk 25% of your bank on a single trade.

It's 5% - the stop would have been set around 850, so 17 points at £5.77 per point is around £100... i.e. 5% of the £2000 starting capital.
