I suppose that is the difference between demo and live accounts? or between brokers?
My $5000 demo acct is with North Finance using MT4 and when I make a trade, it only allows me .10 as a volume (aka ratio?) which is the lowest option they offer. If I try .20, I always get a "Not enough money" message. I will have to contact them about how that works.
Glad to hear my math is correct, and even more encouraged that the results could be much higher if I learn the leverage part better and what my platform/broker is capable of.
Thanks for the inspiration!
and I look forward to your "mini" novels as well as your journey and insights.
