Shadow1.... this is a demo account with MB Trading. MB demos can be sensitive to 'disconnecting' and not coming back for a while. This happened to me recently and my account took a hit. Markets blew past my stop/losses..... lost quite a bit of percentage points. Linked another demo account from FXDD.... like a back up.

Since the account took such a hit.... I am going to double my risk per trade to try and make back what I had lost because the demo tradestation was disconnected and would not connect again till the market was beyond my stop/loss prices. I am only going to do this for January. If my demo tradestation is disconnected with live trades that should have closed, I will contact MB to see if they would close the trades as soon as possible. Since the highest amount of risk I use is 5%.... I will risking 10%. In my trading in the past, I used to trade risking double digits. Won't do it again.... that is a quick way to bust an account. At least that has been my experience....
