Time for me to reconsider this forex trading -- the work, the risk, the monotony -- and not just me but any piker who posts here and struggles to merely double or triple the money he puts at risk in a trade. Here's why -- for 49 s'molians, the greenest newbie can turn a tiny bankroll into...

Nope, no such claim by me, here or on Moneytec.

You mistake me for someone else, it appears. The problems I encountered with a retailer did not occur at or around news. The retailer refused to honor my profitable limit orders -- no more complicated than that. Your post rings familar, however, because, on Moneytec, I have seen ones...

This view of the "lending" retailer is improbable, especially if you want to believe in the "honest" retailer story. It would require the (mythical) honest retailer to suffer the above-described risk merely for the "spread," meaning a few pips weighed against a possible loss greater than the...

The trade size is not the wager, as you well know, which is why your reply is perplexing (and forced, I believe). A $300 mini account with a retailer leverages a high multiple of $300 and, to obtain that leverage, the customer risks most of the $300, leaving some leftover (I assume) so as to...

Geez, sounds like you stumbled onto the playbook of one of the signals sellers, systems sellers, or other fellow traveling bandits in the Wild Wild West of retail forex. "A fool and his money soon part, so why not be there for it" -- the motto of retail forex.

Would a sports bettor wager with a "reputable" bookmaker on these terms: 1) the bookie gets to set the final score of the ballgame, and 2) the bettor must loan the bookie more than 100% of his wager with only a promise that the loan will be repaid if the bookie can afford to repay it and...

No offense intended, but comparing the currencies market in which fund managers (major or otherwise) trade to forex retailers is laughable. Forex retailers cater to those who lack the know-how and resources to trade competively-priced, honest forex products. The difference is as great as that...

Humor. No message encoded. Although Exchanges found one it appears, witness his "blood pit" remark. Maybe he's Spawn of Coinz.

You know why, don't you? Bernanke alluded to it Monday night. Massive global liquidity, coinz specifically, who is back in action. Retail traders crushed underfoot, central bankers cowering -- this guy is pitiless.

Possibly. That would explain, if indeed he's back in action, the strange, roiling price action in certain currency pairs this week. Titanic gushers of cash moved at a whim -- that's unmistakably coinz. But I see credible reports in other threads that the coinz/sKaLpz/NickDeJour cabal is going...

Trading signals are very easily scammable. You need only multiple audiences, different aliases, and different (usually contrasting) signals for each audience. Donely properly, you always can end up with one audience convinced of your product. Chatrooms, emails, etc., are simply useful tools...

The posts critical of Saxo are from credible, experienced ET members.

Trooper, You were beat well before this matter reached a US court. Retail fx is a scam. You were beat when you risked your money with a fx retailer. I take absolutely no pleasure in pointing that out, because I too gotten taken by a fx retailer.

My Yen shorts are kaput, stopped out last week.

Ah, the loveliest village. But I didn't know the worldwide web had gotten there yet.

TenTwenty, I understand your point, of course, because in the past, not to my profit, I have been a structural/fundamentalist bear on the dollar, precisely for the reasons today's dollar bears give. But if fundamentals controlled, the dollar would have plummeted by now, given no private...

Does it occur to anyone that a shortfall in funding the twin US deficits, as expressed in today’s data on capital inflows, will increase the yield on dollar assets above the yield on, say, the yen, promoting the carry trade, thereby boosting the dollar? Basically, if the twin deficits aren't...

Below is excerpt of story on the wire today. Wonder just how much grimier, more sordid and complicated this story will become? _______________________________________ "Refco Inc. held offshore accounts with as much as $525 million in fake bonds, indicating the futures broker's troubles may...
