Agreed - from a percentage perspective, it's definitely harder to go up (gaining 10% after losing 10% does not put you back where you started!). Not sure if that makes it harder or if it's just a psychology thing? I guess to get the same pips back, you need to risk more (relative to account size). Sharks' statistical mind probably knows whether or not that's bro science

And yup, got a few demos running too, but I am just horrible with sitting on cash - it's a bit twisted, but I would rather lose it and learn than have it sit there doing nothing, all about school of hard knocks, it has served me well so far I guess, it's an abusive relationship but I keep going back.

I might have to give trade view a proper look in soon - https://www.tradeview.com.au/product/ea-lab/ I've just 'registered interest' there, is that right, or is there somewhere you can just download it?

You're right Zest, its the maths of percentages:

If you start with $100 and lose 50% that's a loss of $50, leaving $50. To get back to $100 you need to make $50 from $50 which is 100% gain to return to where you started.

Thanks for the useful info Rick, I will start looking at VPN options, it seems the way to go.

Cheers, Sharks
