gazelle is an unknown quantity at this point
15000.00USD
How far would you leverage this out beginning with a demo account no money involved at this stage.

6:1 = 90000USD position
5 consecutive losing trades @ 25 points 250.00USD
will leave you with 14000.00 1000.00USD loss
.066% loss and we havent yet considered in what timeframe these losses have occured , it is quite possible if we are trading small subphases within the overall trend we may loose this amount within 4-5 days.

6:1 = 90000USD position
10 consecutive loosing trades @ 25 points 250.00USD
will leave you with 12750.00 2250.00USD loss
.15% loss

------------------------------------------------------------------------
increase the margin 10:1 = 150000.00USD position
5 consecutive losing trades @ 25 points 250.00USD
etc etc , same as above - does your dollar risk remain the same even though you have increased your margin , you could still have 5 consecutive loosing trades and loose the same amount even though your leveraged has increased - is this right

increase the marging even further and how does risk come into it

Any advice welcome
