  1. 1. Are you 100% sure your account would increase and not decrease?

    2. Would it be less than $500,000?

    I'd say more like $1mil+, it's Forex.

    My Sharpe Ratio is staggeringly high. I don't have losing weeks ever.

  4. On my Fx app, the USD value of 1 lot differs from pair to pair, but on EUR/USD 0.06 lots is only $134.

    At 0.06 lots, you would make $30 at 50pips. Is that what you mean?

    At those small amounts, doesn't the bid-ask spread get in the way?

    You need to learn how levelage works in Forex markets. That would be the starting point, i would compound from that point on up until a certain level. I'd trade maybe 5 pairs and don't forget that you'll have multiple 3/6 trades that will fire on the same day for each pair. I trade about .75 lots per day at .04 lots per trade.

  9. So you must have hold times that are just a few hours on average?

    2 days is the most I've ever held a trade.
