      We all make mistakes..... image I have traded FDAX futures during the European morning for many years, but it's a large & volatile beast, so I have been looking into the new FXDM half-size, mini DAX future. Seeing that FXDM trades in points like ...

      Good morning, sportsfans, it's 8deg C here in not so sunny Amsterdam, damp, miserable north European weather... WHY DID I LEAVE ITALY ? (I do of course know the answer & it was a good one at the time..). Ecco uno studio di comparazione per ...
