um, sorry to say, but that is a dead thread you linked with about zero supporting facts that the charts were ever traded "live"; not really relevant to trading for living. (not that i am really looking for a new strategy, anyway) i am open to ...

not necessarily. take the CHF depegging, if your SL was 50 pips bellow the market before the collapse, and the broker's next quote was 2000 pips lower, guess where your SL will be filled. of course that is an extreme cause, but any time you put a SL ...

partly correct only, really. from 100k to 10k, you could lower the starting lot size from 0.1 to 0.01 lot... going bellow 10k the resizing isnt possible, as there is no smaller lot size to trade, so for 5k it would see 2x the DD than the 100k ...
