IB's position limits

This has NOTHING to do with slippage it has to do with leverage.

With all due respect, the amount of leverage on one contract with 5 thousand dollars is directly in proportion to the amount of leverage of 10 contracts with 50 thousand dollars.

If there is no slippage concerns, then the only difference that I can see is that everything is 10x, but the risk percentage is exactly the same when compared to the total value of the account.

This is why, till this day, I fail to understand why so many traders say that trading more contracts is different if the net worth of the account is also scaled to the leverage involved.
