    confused with my account size and actual P&L

    Hi G.O.A.T, thanks for your exhaustive explanation and I do actually start to understand all these stuff now. But as you mentioned the figures don't quite add up, would you explain a bit more on this? I am a bit curious about this as a newbie. Thanks very much indeed!
