    In longer-term investing strategies, position sizing is a bit more complicated and may depend on the strategy at play. In this section, we will focus on sizing positions for short-term trades.

    Your spread is 2.0 !

    The break even is 1.2680 +0.002 = 1.2700
    If you sell at 1.2699 you loose

    Also, from your experience, is there any difference in execution time of a “large position” vs. a 1k position. thanks.

    hi,
    can you actually establish ANY position size you desire. Let’s say I’ve got $50,000,000, in an account. Would it be possible for me to establish a position size, say 10,000k or $1,000 per pip, 50,000k or $5,000? If these position sizes are possible, would the specific currency pair’s liquidity affect transactions? Thanks.

    Hi, many brokerage firms including FXCM will allow you to trade in sizes of 1K or smaller however even at 10K the value of a one point move in the market is only $1. Since the market is not very volatile most consider that trading pretty small. Hope that helps. Dave

    This will probably be answered later on but does this mean that I must trade in the tens and hundred of thousands of dollars? I thought the advantage was being able to trade small?
