Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

  1. Its really quite simple. There are a lot of frustrated people on this forum losing a bunch of money. Rather than destroying computers, banging holes in the walls, we fight with each other. Productive, isn't it?

  4. Some think it can be. It's just another form of phishing. Here it is done by the strugglers trying to goad successful traders into revealing an entire trading strategy. That's what goes on here most of the time.

  5. Or maybe he had a sell stop in the market that happened to get hit. His alerts went off, and he had an entire five minutes to manage the trade.:)

  7. Actually, what I see is a whole bunch of "traders" being exposed as frauds. In other words, we have the wanabees goading the pretenders.

    Well, Atticus told that man made something close (or even inside) 8 figures. Hardly dealer would not notice that.

    I agree on aberration, though, played box options with Oanda heavily myself back in 2005, when they had IV priced somewhat wrong in front of NFP releases. :p
