Maximum lot size and closing position

New comment
 

Hi,

For netting account, whats the best approach to close positions when the lotsize position is higher than symbol max lot? Any know routine for this?

 

1. Welcome to the forum (I see you are a member since yesterday)

2. Honestly.. when did you last trade max lot? With a typical broker that's e.g. 50 lots? So multiplied with a contract size of 100.000 you are for example moving 5.000.000 $$ of capital with e.g. 50:1 leverage (required margin 100.000$, so that's your min. account size if you wanna go 'all in')... but then you ask the question how to close such a position? Do you have such positions in real life?

how does that fit together? 

scenario 1: you refer to the millions made by backtesting of martingales or some overfitting EA on M1 OHLC data

scenario 2: you have absolutely 0 money management in place

scenario 3: you are a billionaire and forex expert and "max lot" is within reasonable money management... but then: you don't ask this question


to summarize: not what you want to hear, but there is no "routine" for something that doesn't happen in your real life;

theoretical answer: you close the position via several deals until zero "net" remaining position size (isn't that what netting is about?)
