Quote from PinkBunny:
I'm not a successful forex trader so what I say may be worth a grain of salt, but a lot of people post about forex as though it's vastly vastly harder than other markets and success for the retail account almost never comes. If treated as a minor hobby, probably not. But folks, trading forex is just like any other market - maybe you have some disadvantages from the bucketshops but if you're placing a stop where they can easily stop-gun you you aren't doing the trading properly and likely looking for an excuse for your losing.
Realize that trading forex... is no different than trading any other market...
