I'm sorry but that's a lot of BS. There are more than a few people here who bang out 20-30 pips a day daytrading including myself. Just because you can't do something don't assume others can't.

Is trading not considered a job?

What do you mean it doesn't create trends? If the EURUSD move over the past year is not a trend then I don't know what is.

EURUSD drop/manipulation - Anybody else sick...

This is profoundly misguided. You continue to assume that every trade is random and that it is impossible to create an edge that would cover losses and the spread/commissions. It may not be easy to do but I can assure you it can be done. ...

Just because Draghi can move the market doesn't mean he's manipulating it. Accept the market for what it is. It is not an auction that can be manipulated at the expense of some players. If Draghi needs the euro to go lower then he's got the power to ...

* In light of the reckless actions of the SNB, FXCM has since ceased offering any currencies which carry significant risk due to potential manipulation by their respective governments either by a floor, ceiling, peg, or band. Exactly what I said ...

FXCM Releases Detailed Data on the SNB Flash Crash

I don't give a shit if it's manipulated. I'm only interested which way it's going.

EURUSD drop/manipulation - Anybody else sick...

Try telling it to all the people caught in the Swiss frank massacre who not only got their accounts wiped out but actually are on the hook for the negative equity that supposedly to you is nothing more than 'paper money'. I have to say I find it ...

That's exactly it. I have an intraday system where losses are capped at 15 pips or less and my winners are anywhere from 5 to 100 pips. The notion that you can't make money trading short term is utter bollocks.

I think we'll see a major crash in emerging markets.

Imminent collapse of the US dollar?

That would depend on how much you're risking to gain those three pips.

Absolutely. You can't ever rule anything out.

IC Markets margin call

Price is your best indicator.

"It went higher still"

Picking up nickels in front of a bulldozer is not a winning strategy.

Brokers chasing you for negative account balance

The next one will be worse.

Any other possible "CHF 01/15/15" like events in the future?

I get the feeling some brokers in the future may be more strict in terms of what pairs they will allow to trade. Any currency that's pegged in any way may be withdrawn from offer to avoid the kind of scenario we just saw this week.

Forex changed forever!

Calm down everybody. If flying wasn't banned after 9/11 sure as hell retail forex trading won't be either.

Forex changed forever!
