or you could pick up some quick bucks with a short on AUD/USD...
Quote from mr double:
for every 10,000$ in your account you can sell/buy 1,000,000
so you only can sell 4,000,000,leave 10,000 for margin call![]()

Alright, buy 470,160,000 yen (i.e. short 4 million USD/JPY). I need the rate to get to 116.09 to double. If it gets to 119.03 I get a margin call. Looks like it will take more than a day (unless tomorrow is a repeat of today)
[They don't let you put the full amount in a single trade?
they do in mini,not sure with standard
anyway this demo is 100:1,maybe you can change it ,i don't know

Oh, I'm not really familiar with how margin works. At work, margin is not an issue. I suppose if I put on a position big enough I hear from the risk manager, but I don't think I've ever approached that. Do they close out all your positions when you get a call, or just enough to get you back to minimum maintenance
