I am using the same platform. The difference is, that the first thing that i told my broker (it was bit confusing at first), - that : i don't wan't any leverage, no CFD's and it should be impossible to go short for me. Now making 30% swings in 1 - 3 months & sleeping like a baby. The leverage will not help you to move faster, but the right strategy will.
Ditto. Leverage should be considered as "vs. your entire trading capital", not just against one small account or trade. (I've traded a long time and have only occasionally been levered even 2:1. I was inspired to mostly avoid leverage by something I saw on a bumper sticker once.... "Shit Happens"!)
I am coming to the conclusion that many threads on this site are started by the mischievous or not so bright, who then leave and watch from the sidelines, those who swim into view with an opinion.
I doubt the notion of "mischievous"... you know, posting blarney just to goof on other people. But as to "inexperienced, hopeful, dumbass" posts about many topics... plenty of that.
You should just donate your money to a charitable foundation instead of a bucket shop broker. Good luck man. Or better yet burn it instead of firewood. It'll keep you warm and you'll see it go up in flames anyway. Same thing you know. Minus the high or rush you'll get from high leverage. I know a good therapist.
