My point is that leverage has no relationship to a stop loss being hit, price does. The way it was worded implied that using high leverage means...
And now come the "journalists" following the trail of blood. Why do they never write these "exposes" on their own time without a precipitating...
Definitely not true. Quite a few funds and institutionals got their faces kicked in as well. Irresponsible timing by the SNB IMO, but it still...
