Thanks for the info but still its only the half of the total answer the other half is the account size .. if i go theoretically with your answer any elite trader can raise up his account from 100 $ to 100 000 $ in a year easily but the broker due to hidden rules may not allow to exceed 100 000 $ like incase of Dukascopy they are stated clearly that their customers bank accounts protected against (( company bankruptcy )) by 100 000 USD only that's mean if you grow your account to 1 million Ducascopy can announce his bankruptcy and eliminate 900 000 $ legally from your profit and just give you 100 000 $ .. most other well regulated brokers which segarate their customers equities in bank accounts stating that their customers accounts protected by the maximum coverage of 50 000 $ ..it will not go down to 1:1 as their model is to provide leveraged trading. Most brokers will simply not be allowed 1:1 as banks do or special exchanges like Oanda (not yet thou). Usually in a retail broker there are about 4 tiers for leverage, like
Tier 1: Exposure < $1M = leverage 1:500, Tier 2: < $2M = 1:200, Tier 3: < 3M = 1:100, Tier 4: < 4M = 1:50 etc.
In a force majeure situation leverage could go to 1:5 or 1:2 or only "close only" trading with spread widening 100 times... This is a normal protective measure and one is informed well in advance like in recent situation with HKD based pairs... I have nothing more to add to this topic
So now i think we have a complete theoretical answer <<<which is maximum lots is 40 within maximum equity of 50 000 $ >>> still also theoretical because many brokers in their terms and conditions stated ((( they can terminate their customers contract without giving reasons ))) .. so my trader friend is right theoretically when he said withdraw all above 40 000 $
LoL its really wierd industry !!
