Are you asking this question out of personal experience... or something you have imagined?

 

If you have a large amount of product that must be moved... let's just say crystal meth. You may have to take a different approach than someone selling dime bags. It's a problem of distribution and finding willing buyers.

 

If you are large enough, you will have to trade differently than someone who is smaller. As you have chosen to have posed this question, I would assume that you are not "that" large.

 

Possibly, you can elaborate...

No stock has infinite liquidity. The more money you have to invest, the fewer opportunities will be large enough to absorb your capital, broadly speaking. In other words, in the stock market, volume matters. The larger your investable capital grows, the more you focus on large companies, which have already realized much of their growth potential. The biggest upside is to invest early with companies while they are still small, their growth is still ahead of them, and most investors haven't realized it yet.

Why is it harder to make gains with larger trading capital than smaller capital? Since if you use the same allocation,should the yearly gains be the same?

 

What you're saying is correct in theory, I think, but in practice trying to trade the huge numbers of contracts needed to maintain the same allocation would cause you to move the markets against you.

 

Be careful though . . . A lot of educators seem to use this explanation when you ask them a question like "if the best hedge fund managers in the world only return an average of 30% per year, how come you're claiming to double your account every month?". Although a small retail trader might be able to outperform a hedge fund because they're not dealing with huge amounts of capital, this isn't going to account for a huge difference of thousands of percent per year.

I don't really care about dividends, buybacks, strong dollar, headwinds, tailwinds, calls & puts, current issues or crushing suppliers. I've been buying & selling APPLE stock for 3 years and now I'm playing with 1000 shares all on company money. Sold my shares for $118.10 hoping to buy back at $114.00 or lower in next few days. I guess I'm just a foolish old man ...

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
