With a 3% DD, currently estimated at 26000 points compounded from a max of 1500 individual points moved against yr position, then the account size should be ~ 850 K.

On the other hand, if the 1500 pts moved, were in yr direction, you would be generating a mere 3% of equity on a near Million account.

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 ?

Hit manage attatchments, & upload.
The file must be in one of the directiories shown, and less than 1.3 MB size I think. If its more than 1.3, try zipping it. If still greater, take 1 or break into several JPG shots of it, and upload them individually.

Hope that helps.
