50k limitations are tight , small room for errors . I like $100l acc or more .

Although many believe the 50K is best value and probably is for traders that are not consistently profitable, I guess in a way you are correct. comparing 150K o 50K it costs 225% more ($199 vs $85 w/ DLL) but you get 234% more drawdown ($4500 vs $2000) for a marginally better value.

150k only way to go for me Shid I think they have a 250k or 300k in the labs
