Some think of it as a "challenge", while others might consider it "greed"! :p

What you call a "gene" can also be defined as a "trait". And "Yes", I do think pple are born to be a "gatherer" or a "squanderer". BUT, as with all traits, that can be influenced to various degrees by factors like environment, upbringing,needs,education, etc...

When I have my favorite dish for supper, I could go for 2 helpings or more. When it's leftovers, one is enough. :p Same with trading. Define YOUR level of COMFORT and GREED and STICK TO IT!

By definition: gambling = uncertain outcome (<100%) So even if you have 99.999% of winning, you'd still be gambling. Of course, there are some with higher pain threshold...They would take 99.999% chance of LOSING and jump in with both feet!...:p

Let's take another example: you buy stock XYZ @10 bucks. It goes up to $15. After examining all the fundies and technicals, you decide it's time to sell. Right afterwards, the stock drops. Would you crow about your "skills" for having foreseen the correction, or would you consider yourself...

"Not gambling" = "Sitting on your hands"! :p Seriously, anything we do whether in everyday activities or business endeavours involves a degree of "gambling" (since the outcome is not 100% certain,e.g. you could have an accident or win the lottery, land a new job or get pink-slipped,etc...)...

Life is NOT uncertain, since sooner or later, you'll BE dead!:p

Did Bre-X ring a bell?:p

Let's face it. Any action where the outcome is not 100% certain can be categorized as "gambling". Of course it depends on where is one's tolerance for the loss: 50%, 75%, 90%...? As long as You can't show me you are winning 100% of the time, don't tell me you are not a "gambler", albeit a very...

DO NOT EVER TRADE NEWS with those guys! They freeze your orders for several minutes then come back with a lame "the market has moved"! .ssholes!:mad:

Don't walk away from fxcm...RUN! eXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME SOMETIME AGO, AND IT'S NOT EVEN DURING NEWS RELEASE: I entered a position, the market start trending up , and suddenly fxcm spiked down about 20 pips to take out my positon then resumed trending up with the rest of them as...

I don't know if they INTENTIONALLY suspend trading or not. What I mean is the quotes could freeze for a few minutes when there is extreme volatility after news release. I can live with that since I've seen MUCH MUCH worse with some other dealers! (on a side note, I'm sure I had already...

Yes, they pay (or charge) interest at all leverages. Personnally, I have not seen them suspend trading (intentionally or not) for over a few minutes after new releases and only at extreme volatility. That's when I get requotes but certainly not by 50 pips!:eek:

I've been with them for over a year. Good execution speed and not that many requotes but I definitedly HATE their platform, although it has many features I need.

I've been with them since April 2006. Good company,small but personalized service and fair dealing. Unfortunately, last week they informed me they have sold out to Forex Liquidity LLC, a company I've never heard of . I could transfer my account to the new joint if I wish but I have no idea...
