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

Makes sense then. No need to keep more than actually needed on your trading account.

 

I agree with you here. Only ones who want you to keep more in the account are the brokers. surf

 

Yea. I keep the absolute minimum with the brokers myself (derived from historical draw-downs plus required performance margins). Simply no need to lock more money than you really need to trade there.

 

And that's what kills traders, max loss, min gain.

Great post.

 

And what to do with the excess cash ?

Whole new problem arises when you consider that.

 

R.I.P. in the making

 

Dayum- 200pts in the Euro. Good to see a little more volatility coming back into this.

 

I dunno. If he is with Oanda and is trading 50 cent lots on that 1000 dollars he could hold thru quite a bit.

 

Yeah, sweet!

I have moved on to the Yen pairs only. I don't know why more people don't trade them.

 

Cornix. PM me your website. I want to have a look.
