Are there any Large Lot Traders here?

Dukascopy

Dukascopy

Well they kind of have to market aggressively since the profitability of Dukascopy as a whole has been going downhill the last couple of years with last year being barely profitable. If that trend doesn't change they will have a losing year this ...
