Says the guy whose $1 chit chat "journal" blew up up in his face? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=254267
Surf, What you say sounds like the term "elite" means rich and arrogant people who do not mind to lose a lot of money because they can afford to. Not everyone comes from money. People who fight their way through difficulties have all my respect. Isn't it better to give them a hand as oppose to supressing them?
That's not what I meant, sorry for the misunderstanding. Directing these folks AWAY from forex would be the best help that could be given---there are plenty of other low $ opportunities, Nadex, mini options, etc no need for bucket shop FX.
FX is not a problem. Quite a number of FX bucket shops have grown so big they are now major players in the forex scene. After the disaster with MF Global, I have lost my trust and confidence with the regulated markets and the authorities who are supposed to oversee them. One interesting difference between forex and regulated contracts like eminis is that forex traders need the discipline themselves to not overleverage to blow up their accounts while the regulated markets with much higher margin simply shut their doors to people who do not have as much money to start their trading career. Yet, the increased barrier to entrance with the eminis and other regulated stuff has a famous 90% failure rate while the forex markets have reportedly showing 40% failure rate only. Which one is safer to trade? I am not judging. =)
Now you can see the results of the infux of forex with the decline of elite trader. I warned about this, now its happening. very sad.

Here's a classic example of the trouble seeking miscontents lured here by forex http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=266480 Ban forex threads and this type of nonsense would cease.
Apparently you finally getting a "call" right gave you the juice to reiterate your silly baseless demands.
