I have never changed this setting yet.

The manuals says:
"Decimals = 2 This instructs the program as to how many decimal places that your broker can use in
their lots sizes."
So it sounds that you may be right, though setting = 2 did not prevent trades on my FXCM demo.

RM and GT-Shadow often have prolonged drawdowns, positions with -380 pips happen sometimes. Some of my AUD/NZD positions had -600 pips drawdowns for a while. Theoretically, in case of AUDNZD if your position is initiated at 1,17, you may have over -1000 drawdown (when the price goes up to 1,2800). The point is not to trade too large lots. If you comply with the recommended settings, you should survive.

PC have you ever used AVAFX asa broker they ahev alot more currency spreads and leverage of 200:1 also they only chrge by piiping uo the spread .

I think in order to make money we do need as per sanother thread to know what the *realcost* of trading with some online bokers is...

Where a broker is not a good fit for us should we not have a members only blacklist.

Another thing with all the live testing done why not charge a sign up fee to get test results a samll fee for every person who just wants to know recommendcatiuons with no liability based on result should be fine...?
