Depends. It's only a 30 day race and the #1 trader seems to have a nice scalping system going on. Still plenty of time for traders to rise and traders to fall. Should be interesting.
You've gotta be in it to win it.

Hi Ethan

I just send a report. SF calculated margin (aka margin used incorrectly) I will report the screen grab here for your investigation

NOTE margin used = Lot size * 100,000 * EP / leverage

ONE trade in my contest acct, lot size 37.7 ep=1.34224
margin==> 37.7 * 100,000 * 1.34224 / 200==> 25,301.224 or rounded to 25,301.22
on SF mt4, showed as 25,447.50

Believe me or not but london trader has exactlly nailed it. Tortoise does win the race here because of his patience and discipline. Like you see a shift in the top spot for now. They will keep on fighting with there positions like this only. Big wins and big losses.

How do you check the leverage on your account, ie 200:1, is it even possible in MT4 ?

I ask because I've been taken out of a number of trades trying to add positions whilst in a small drawdown, when the max Id be trading would be 6 lots in total over several trades, with say 25 pips against me at worst on the first trade...

But I see some traders going in at 100 to 400 lots...

Anyone offer an insight into how its calculated please


Thanks

Trading is a Horse race rather than a sprint, so agree.....

However the current leaders don't seem to be going with that Philosophy !

There going more "F1" style to the finish line

Does anyone know why Pivots aren't working? Tried inserting pivots that came with mt4 and they don't work correctly.
Here is an example:
Click image


The pivot points don't move with time and according to the levels they are supposed to.
Or else anyone has some other pivots that I can use that are kind of similar? I'm only interested in daily pivots!
