    Markets are stupid

    Worst Trading Platform Developer of 2008 Award

    IB is not a bucket shop, even if you are an option trader I believe they don't watch their order flow or so has been their discourse . That said buying options is a losing game, option market making is scamming investors . Their Forex platform is very ill designed , they don't trade lots...

    Worst Trading Platform Developer of 2008 Award

    Goes to Interactive Brokers... The IB development dept is dangerous for your health and your account. The bugs, issues of all sorts, and nonsense gimmicks keep just pouring in. It' just got even worse . It's like these guys leave their brains at home when they leave for work in the morning.

    real "miracle" stories of growing a "micro/mini" FX account...you have one?

    no he is right. Leverage will kill you slowly mostly by clouding your decision process, that is unless you are a real gunslinger but then watch for the blowup coming at you. You'd better have your daytrading tactics down to perfection before attempting to daytrade FX futures with a small...

    Indeed it seems there is definitely one category of women that are likely to cheat (you or with you) and another who will need a lot of very good reasons to cheat. Maybe it has to do with hormones.

    This is a joke right ? This article seems to be taken right out of a French leftist newspaper. 0.25% on all trades ? That can't happen in America ! It just can't . It won't be allowed.

    real "miracle" stories of growing a "micro/mini" FX account...you have one?

    It's no miracle I took an account from $1000 to $4000 , opened in 06, never did anything much but flatline in 06-07, for me FX was dead, no money to be made so I mostly stayed away or traded tiny . That was until 08, 250% + trading small positions 3, 5 K most of the time yup. Now I am back...

    Life without anti-virus ?

    I didn't make it up : 3 viruses/trojans in 8 years, two of them crippled my PC but I was able to fix it myself not being computer savvy, and each time it took me something like 3 days. And that's with surfing all kinds of sh*it running AVG but hardly ever updating it or scanning (I suppose...

    Life without anti-virus ?

    I got my laptop back after a terrible ordeal to get it repaired under warranty when it died a few weeks back. I still don't know what happened but it was very similar to what happened to many AVG users on 11/11 when they downloaded an update that deleted an XP file and killed Windows...
