Good for you, however the market now is 1.4 up to about 200k anything above is 1.3 if selling all 500k it averages out about 1.35/6 ...

The wiki is quite accurate



-1, for UR in general, especially 500k
The wiki clearly states up to 200k...

So no experience with large amounts? On what basis do you say the wiki info is inaccurate? ..unless your misunderstanding the wiki.. in this case more is less ;)
In fact I can imagine a broker paying over 1.5 for a small account...

Being that the Wiki was just updated, you may not have followed. The wiki said a flat 1.4-1.45 nothing else, so when told its accurate I replied
-1, for UR in general, especially 500k
All clear?
