One does not really need a huge account..............with mini lots and smaller positionsizing available ,one could easily spread $10,000 over 8 currency pairs .....run an a p i and make $35,000 per annum

Most mechanical breakout systems on fx blow accounts anyway,so this one has greater probabilities of success

Most martingale system are countertrend................this one is really a trend following anti martingale
