Thread: Whats the inspiration left for retail trading?

  1. #1
    Together with the black swan event.... The following question arises what confidence and inspiration retailers are left with to continue?

    1. With 3 Trillion turn over it boasts of good liquidity.... Deficiency of bandwidth has been termed of the issue. . No reason this can't happen again....
    2. STOP was supposed to be fail safe. . but no . . .this acts as a market order only and may not be filled based on liquidity
    3. A few of the entities are re-correcting the filled price ( the early SL's to some 2000-4000 Pip slippage
    4. Losses are citied due to Client bankruptcy - who gained on the opposite end - not known


    I know it is person to opt to trade or not... but what inspiration could one have in taking up or continuing within Retail trading...

    You seriously think Im spamming? ?

    Ok add me Facebook Rick Cogsy, add me skype that I have no agenda.

    And youll see Im just a trader. IG and NADEX make it effortless to earn money if you know what your doing. Maybe its because of the success I have had with it. I just feel I wanna share my success with other people. I dunno accountable for saying anything.

    I will tell your angry.

    hello ananth.... Since the reward far far out weighs the risk.... Many of us didn't exchange the chf on account of this risk.... And yes, we totally stood a strong prospect of large losses although our accounts have been in no way influenced by the chf....

    But why should we not keep on doing something profitable for us.... Will make changes to protect myself in the future.... dang straight.... Started those changes about the 15'th....

    The thought of quitting has never entered my mind...h

    Hi Hayseed...

    The reason why I opened this thread is to collectively understand the protections available and one needs to know about if you supposed Future do u mean Futures Market...

    Offcourse another question is the success factor on your profitability?

    because they're their own exchange and its way much easier to make more....for me!!

    A trading account needs to be treated as a business. . That makes you the CEO. . CFO. . And who ever is in charge of risk assesment. I also never exchanged any CHF crosses. . I simply hated the entire concept of a pegged currency. . . . That turned out to be a great instinct. Other things individuals can do to help control their risk. . Is to have a stop loss in place. . This will take care of the 99.9% of the occasions. And a individual can also control their leverage. . There is not any one holding a gun to your head forcing you to take the full 100:1.

    What FXCM could do. . Is that next time someone makes the decision to peg their currency. . They could tell them to beat it. . And say they refuse to make trades in a pegged Currency. . Trading already halted . . Reason for volatility. . They should have done it to the CHF crosses also. . Reason for intervention. . Would have saved them 270 million dollars. Next time a central bank decides to peg. . I hope, brokers do tell em to F off. . And refuse to make liquidity in these currencies.

    hey ananth.... Was not thinking about'Futures' market when mentioning'future', but now that you point out it, you are right....

    By future, I meant from this point forward.... On thursday and friday I withdrew a bit over 30k and opened a etrade'futures' account and began opening a citi fx pro account.... I will keep my fxcm account too....

    Success factor == my openness to silently try to do what so many loudly insist can't be achieved...h

    Pooks .


    Agreed but granted that Forex is not controlled there is no guarantee that under the pretext of Liquidity non accessibility another run of similar kind can happen with non-pegged currencies too,,, let's state because of war or terriorist attack ( rumour...)


    Exactly so if retailers eliminate their greed and transaction nearer to 1: 1,1:5,,,and have smaller profits....so even if you have these situations and in the wrong end one will probably be in a position to repay....or do they have another choice,,

    I think that Flash Crash of 2010 from the United States Equity markets Controlled by whoever or the FTC.. Is proof that it doesn't matter if its regulated or not. So your point not being regulated is a drawback is invalid.
