Your account manager sounds like a fool. Everyone just needs to calm down and just think about it for a second. The NFA is just trying to make forex just like every other market (i.e. futures, stocks, etc) by adding FIFO and getting rid of hedging (which is worthless any way). Can you place...

It's called passive income, a thing of beauty.... Let's say a trader makes 20k/mo, not eye popping numbers but he is making a good living. Now if he can train some traders and make 10-15k mo. What's wrong with that.... Not everyone that trades makes 10MM like your friends....
