Dear alphaviech, thanks for your thread. An enlightening and rewarding one for people wishing to learn.
Question: Considering that insti transactions are often long term and follow fundamentals, what makes sense, is it ok for those transactions to have a drawdown of a 2/3% and take care of the position (not allowing any stop loss to shut it)?
Thank you again.

Concerning the order book - its not like you've got hundreds of millions every opinion pips. Envision it like a instrument like technical analysis. If you look at charts all you attempt to do is figure out where buyers are and at which sellers are. And an orderbook can provide you with the info. In case you have clusters of sized orders at a level you can assume that there'll be some resistance there. But at the exact same time you dont have a guarantee your publiion is an accurate representation of the whole market. Its just an additional piece of information nothing.

Is your query if 2-3 percent was okay for me personally when I exchanged for a bank or if I'd let it run that far on my own account today?Originally Posted by ;
I didnt even know what a footprint chart was earlier I googled it . But to be fair I dont see the value in that - FX doesnt have a centered order book anyways in system like EBS that you will never know whether the amounts you see are real or if a algo is flashing.Originally Posted by ;
Depends however you want to set it. But before news or another risk event that is was to narrow. I normally checked whats in 1% of my pairs before important data came out.

If you have a relly big amount to perform you dont just go out and strike on the systems - there are execution algos that do that for you. They skew your prices in given parameters aspire to go hit the systems.... If this doesnt happen in a particular period then they go out and hit the best prices they could find. But on aggregators that pool liquidity out of a few systems you could like commerce eurusd in 100 mio with possibly two pips spread.Originally Posted by ;
I wasnt permitted to trade private accounts while in banks. .
And our P/L goal from the bank was
Bank: no and yes - its not like you look at things in duration of drawdown. They just examine the bottom line (corrected by your costs). But I'd regularly some places that were down a couple of% but they weren't a large junk of my general position limit. If I would yuse all my limit for a single place and that would be down a couple of percent that would ring a couple of alarm bells.Originally Posted by ;
Private: actually depends on what your own goals/financial situation seem like. In the event the money on your trading account is all you have you take your living expenses out of these profits then no egy you ought to be extremely conservative must likely decrease positions when you intend to take long-term viewpoints. If your target is to try and construct your account and breaking it's not any big deal then sure by all means go to it. Of course then you shouldnt be nice with loosing 2-3percent on every trade you require. But if you see a possibility that you feel very confident about then why not opt to an HR?
But not possible to give a general answer its only too situation dependent.
However, google Kelly Criterion. If you believe you get a good estimate of what percent of your trades is profitable then that can be a pretty good guide about the best way best to size rankings.
