Thanks, Interesting strategy actually. And what if I try to do that without bonus involvement? As I understand on one trade I will get margin call and for other (providing that I used bigger lot size) will make money that will cover loss from my second account right and even yiled me some profit... Any pitfall?? (thinking about candle tails can trigger my stops on both positions, thus result in 2 position losses)
How will you be sure which account to use bigger lot size on the winning account instead of the losing one?
A simpler strategy (if your broker allows it) would be to place hedged trades in one account just before a news release. One hits SL and (if things go well) one achieves profits bigger than the loss. The drawback is that slippage on the exit can cut into profits and if the news is mixed, a whipsaw can wipe out both trades.
