      Risk has nothing to do with leverage. If I have 10,000 in trading capital and I am risking $200, it is 2%. This is regardless of the leverage my broker offers. By trading with a broker offering 500:1 vs. the 50:1 offered in the US, I only need to ...

      Missing the point completely. My entire point is regarding the fact that I need to put up atleast 10 times the amount for margin to eceexute the same exact size trade if using a US based, CFTC regulated broker vs. anywhere else in the world. I ...

      Thanks for the laugh. "Graduate" to other instruments? Why on earth would I want to trade other instruments which aren't nearly as profitable as forex? This is the exact problem with those that have bought into the if you can't do it with 20:1, ...

      Yes, that would be best. You clearly don't get it. If a broker offers 50:1, you need 2% for margin, if they offer 100:1, you need 1%, if they offer 200:1, you need 0.5 %. Get it? Of course, I do not use the full 500:1, otherwise I would be trading ...

      What ever leverage the broker offers determines the amount of margin required. You are kidding right? Leverage has nothing to do with risk, but absolutely the leverage offered by the broker determines the margin required. My TE clearly lists who I ...

      This is the most dead on statement I have read in a long time. If you research my previous posts, I was debating with a guy who claims to hold $300K in margin with FXCM to trade 3 million USDJPY. I told him I use an unregulated, offshore broker and ...

      OK, so I'll keep it under my mattress and then have a 2 step process of putting it in my bank and then transferring to broker. You're bringing up something completely irrelevant to the point. The rest of the world can trade forex with much less ...
