Essentially the world is protesting against YOU

The banks and every other corporate entity is fueled by Wall Street and any way they can keep posting record profits. They will do this anyway they can, cheating on accounting methods etc. Before all this in the late 90's we had the internet boom ...

This is nothing more than a blame game... because as you know any job offer is a game of wills when it comes down to negotiating pay. Many of these companies that claim they can't find anyone smart enough will also on the back side be trying to get ...

Essentially the world is protesting against YOU

Part of it is difference of opinion, but if you don't use a stop loss your risk is always what you have in your account... whatever that amount is, and the only way you lose it is margin call. (or broker absconding with it.) If the account is not ...

FXCM fined $14.2 million by CFTC

I think your logic is a bit wrong because IMHO if you have a $20,000 acct and don't use a stop your risk is always 100% or $20,000 whichever is greater. Now if you mean what you risk on each trade as in lot size I think in time you will find you are ...
