99 ways to blow up your account

You would think it is relative , but in reality emotions will kick in when you trade the same method with bigger account , sure you dont believe trading a 200K account is like trading a 2K account .

Its about adjusted trading plan. If it was tested successfully on 2K account and your broker doesn't have problems execution problems on bigger lots then I see no difference.
 
:LOL::LOL:

Pps - for my old enemies on T2W who just did not have a clue - I am watching you ;-) - I have got to admit you are all great entertainment ;-) - If I was was you I would learn from highbury FX the broker guy - see IP - a guy took a real account up to $4 mill in under a year - but then lost it after wanting to try for $10 mill. - I just hope he's learn from it ;-)

Only a small % of real full time retail traders make good consistent money - IP thinks nobody can do it - and my old mate Fugazsy is improving - pity he cannot focus and has the attention span of a Knat - lol

DT - he's Ok - surely he knows by now you can nearly follow every pip if you have the "focus" - CV - ( multi nic) scammer / troll just hates to think anybody is better than him - shame - how I miss them all ;-))))

Gives up the information eventually revealing loses.
Put up a barrage of posts as a diversion.
Still claim to have had a winning week.

concentrating on the TEAM of darkies.
