I see, thanks GraHal. I see the minimum position size you have given is one, I’ve noticed while backtesting.

I’d Ideally like to trade 5 or 6 instruments on a 3k to 5k account; what’s the best way to do this with minimal risk? If I stipulate each code to run from an initial account of 1k, is this guaranteed to trade only 1k of the 5k for each instrument?

I have also now noticed that the minimum position size for major stocks varies on my live account (0.01, 0.12, etc). On my demo account the minimum position size seems to be fixed for the major stocks at 0.5, which complicates the issue further.

So even if I do write codes that each trade 1k for a 5k account, how could I ensure each of these codes risk only 1% of the 1k (assuming I make the SLs a fixed number of pips)? If I manage to do this then how do I translate this to the live account, which then has different minimum trade size requirements?

Any advice would be massively appreciated.

Thanks again!
