250k usd question proper answer.

[eblip]

assuming 250k usd 50:1 leverage 200 pip stop loss
what is the largest position if it goes against you..

right i have worked it out proper now...
maybe not the usual way but the only way i know

at 50:1 leverage you need to put down 2000 dollars per lot.
if we assume that we lose 10 dollars per pip per lot.

then i get (let x = number of lots)

(Xnumber of lots * 2k holding costs of each lot) +(200 pips *10dollars a pip * Xnumber of lots) = 250k
(2000 X) +(2000 X) = 250k
X (2000 + 2000) =250k
X = 250000 /4000
X = 62.5

maybe that is the right answer...but i had to think about it and put pen to paper.

you could get 62.5 lots maximum

Your asking this simple question, and yet you expect to get answers from the very people you mugged off in you previous Alpari thread. The very fact you have asked this shows your lack of trading ability and knowledge.

im not asking the question...i have just put pen to paper and to work out the figures that is all.
the question was asked to me...and i said 50 to 1 is 5 grand per lot instead of 2 grand per lot ...that is all.

sooo, your trading live with 250K?

Thats sweet, good luck..

[eblip]

no im not live with 250k...i was just answering a question asked in a different thread...
in a couple of years maybe.

but im learning the ropes first and trying to get consistency with tiny deals...real money but small deals. watching small trades escalate....doing a lot of losing and a little bit of winning.

but most of my time is spent churning through trading systems and technical analysis manuals, trying new things, and learning.

I think that is the wrong question to be asking. With any amount of money, you should be asking: What is the maximum number of lots that I can trade, given my maximum risk? If your max risk is 1%, then that is $2,500 risk per trade on a $250K account. How many lots is that, given your stop loss?
