In light of this, I find it ironic that you talk of propaganda on ET. *********************************** ? Stated that any competent opinion welcome ... to date platform and conditions make impression ,taht hotspotfx is better as another's ,not more ... another good brokers ,but is stock and option's are -amtd,swim,oxps . but alsov with good broker's 90% of retails would loose through years .
