"I can't tell you any, but there are many reasons why I am right and you are wrong. And no, I am not day dreaming, you are daydreaming" Typical gen Z Argumentation style ;-)
Let's revisit this in depth. When opening an account, one needs to deposit money to be used as collateral, then possibly margin. So, when using zero leverage your money is locked up as stated and cannot be withdrawn or transferred. That means it is non-existent, you are not even gaining interest, you are no longer holding that USD. The only positions you are holding are the ones opened using that collateral/ deposit. Now, as an example you have your account set at 30:1 leverage and you are holding open positions, you would still have most of your cash in USD. But I stated zero leverage, that means the balance has been converted to the open positions. This all can be proven by changing the account leverage setting and seeing the Margin used, and by then trying to transfer money from the account.
Lol, I am probably older than you and can almost guarantee have way more experience and years trading FX. The floor is yours, prove us wrong.
MY goodness!!!! ZERO LEVERAGE ?!?!??!! if the broker disappears into thin air, your $50 000 will also disappear into thin air. Go get a high-leverage broker. You just need to deposit a meagre say $500. if the broker disappears into thin air, only a meagre amount will disappear into thin air.
Thanks for admitting that. What else could it even be with an Oanda account claiming to be seasoned trader. Gosh, this forum gets more polluted by the day by hipsters, losers, and know nothings all claiming to be experts of the trade. Debates about tranny investors, bitch arguments back and forth, and then clowns like this guy. It still arises my curiosity how a guy who joined this forum in 2005 makes such stupid claims, uses Oanda, and then tries to school others about leverage. Really, ET has turned into a pure clown show. I want to make a bet that Baron would have fetched a multiple in value from offers for this site years ago than what it's worth today. I can't imagine anyone would bid even one million for this slide to mediocrity.
Then leave the site. You're like one of those assholes who complain about a radio show like Howard Stern. When everyone tells you to just turn the dial if the show bothers you so much, you make up some excuse on why you cannot leave and must keep listening to it.
