Most people are conservatively trying to build up their account - which is the standard 2% way. If you want to amp things up under certain conditions then it's a more personalized...

    8 Hour Timeframe on MT4

    Grab MT5 off another NY close broker, and just use it for your charting. Then you can just place your orders through Go Markets UK. That would be the simple fix :)

    Optimal trade size formula

    I don't think leverage should be part of your calculation. That's when you know your playing with fire. Just a simple % of account doesn't work for you? Some traders like to go off % of available margin instead, so the more trades you open the less your risk becomes with each new position ...

    Broker - ETX Capital - good ? bad ?

    It didn't form off a swing level, so it makes it a riskier trade to take. The market needs to retrace a bit more after such a strong move up before you're in a better position to buy. You don't want to 'buy at the top of a rally' so to speak.

    Very long term trades
