I bet that roughly 99.99% of retail traders lose money in forex, but that might be a tad optimistic.

Here's my advice to you, for what it's worth. Steer clear of index futures, options, forex, etc, at least to start with. So many new traders are drawn to index futures or forex, but very few can trade them with any sort of consistency. 1 Trade equities. 2 Specialise. Choose a few medium to...

It's interesting to speculate on what sort of sentence Madoff would havereceived here in Europe, I reckon maybe not even prison time. They give murderers less than fifteen years, rapists less than that, and yet they lock him up for life, seems excessive given that he didn't actually hurt...

'People like him deserve to be forgotten.' What an odd thing to say..... People should remember him, maybe that way they will avoid the next scam artist.

Yes most of it.

Trading is one of the few jobs where the time and effort the individual puts into it has almost no relation to the money the individual makes.
