Which trading platform do I prefer for spot trading? I prefer a Swiss broker because of their secure regulations and actual Executions. The Megatrader 4 trading platform is always welcomed.
What is the minimum investment (necessary for the system)? For real investment 100k but we can start from 20 to 50 to build trust.
Are positions held over the weekend so that slippage risk applies? Very rare to be mentioned.
Is a stop applied to every position? Yes, it is just the time of placing it.
What’s the maximum stop distance (in % of the position held and the total capital available)? Sizable as the risk, the target of the plan, the market changes, the main reason of the trade to leave it from my market experiences and certainty at the end.
What is the maximum risk to which the starting investment and/or the respective account value is exposed to at any given time (including risk of slippage and stop-out of all open positions at the same time)? You can determine your own slippage. I can not say that you should stop at a certain level of loss. It is your own money and I am always ready to Trade. I leave it to you to determine.
How much is the performance fee? 
Normally 20% monthly, I prefer taking .5% as management fees with no commission as
it can close the door for any uncertain trades which can effect the
results and it is to cover fixed costs as well (connections, systems,....)
Trading Style My trading bias is mainly on the change of the market sentiment which changes the current market discounted factors and determines the best to buy and the best to sell points. The sentiment can persist forming the trends which can be traded using my trading system and my own technical analyses. I use the Elliot wave theory and the main technical factors as the support and the resistances which is widely known to the market and should be appreciated. It is part of the market sentiment like the psychological levels.  For example, if there is a focus on the trade deficit that can hurt a certain currency and  can change the interest rate outlook of another currency, then there could be other factors which can contain the market sentiment, and these can materialize  from data, events etc etc
Risk Management I use 1/20 leverage in the normal times.  As the amount of leverage and weight to any trade depends on the degree of my certainty. the trading is mainly on the change of the current market sentiment as what has been done recently by the sub prime loans in US, or the interest rate differential or whatever can contain the market sentiment from time to time. These can move the rates and change what was discounted. That's mainly with an appreciation of some technical factors which can persist and take effects like the psychological levels ……….I use a good trading system helping me to take the decision beside the experiences and the trading skills that have been had from the market. I let the certainty to determine the used margin percentage and it is nearly 10%. Less than 5% to get use of chances for a close limit and from 5% to 10% for the chances that can have longer term limits.
