Hardly worth it for an account that size ! So when will we get to make real money sized with a MIL account ?

At the moment, on the current positions, you need the market to compound 85000 pts in yr direction, = 5000 individual pts using the current lot sizes, only to make 10% on the account. Which is of course near impossible on any long term projection.

So why not increase lot sizes to 40 & 50 standard lots per entry, as is normally the case with accounts that size, to generate appreciatable equity related to the account ?
Dear summerset.....I hear you....by the way how to post an attachement here....cause i tried but it just could'nt upload so I thought might be the file is too big....and I had just spoken to my partners about increasing the lot sizes...we havent reached an agreement yet.
