Forex or futures?

Quote from Wallace:

intraday - futures
buy-and-hold - fx

Oops... What is the reason? To avoid contract's expiration?

margin
in North America fx leverage is limited to 50:1 whereas it's 500:1 for daytrading one
6E futures contract
but trading futures overnight means the margin increases to $4,320 which is higher
than the fx margin

Futures: If you don't have the margin, your under-capitalized. The end.

Right.

I would add:

Forex: you will have the illusion to have enough capital.
The end either (a quicker one) ;-))
