Max volume allow for excutation
Let say if i have only 100 USD in the account. What is the max volume i can excute for this trade. I have tried max of 40k but it prompt not enough fund to excute the trade. Hence what's the ratio i can buy to max up the amount? Thanks

Hi,
40k won't work because you have to pay the spread first. 39k (the maximum in your case) might work, depending on the size of the spread. But at that leverage even a 1 pip move against you could close your entire position.
