I think that the traders from UK have the freedom to choose any broker they wish to go with, the restrictions are only to the US i think because of their strict prevailing laws.
Forex does allow us the freedom to trade anytime anywhere without any restrictions however even if we find a good broker, earning money is only possible if we have the required skills necessary for making money from this trading business imo.
I most of the time avoid these exotic/less popular pairs because they involves high risk so better stick with the major pairs like EURUSD as it is good and low spreads as compared to other currency pairs.
I agree because we need to have a workable strategy to be coded in an EA if we wish to go fully automated, so better spending some time building an appropriate strategy that helps earning money from forex trading.
I guess this might be to diversify your portfolio, right! I am also trading with more than one broker though my amount are small but i prefer keep testing them right.
Honestly many of our predictions goes right after trading for some time, some went bad too but forex trading really teaches something new to learn every day.
I think it really hard to find out investors these days because no body lets others to trade on their behalf so let see if you can find any.. Good Luck!
I have heard that many traders make huge ROI during NFP however i found myself bit conservative so i stick with reasonable returns and try to avoid trading during the times when the markets are really unpredictable.
