I agree, retail forex is such a small portion of the equation. I don't know why they bother actually.

OANDA are US broker. here is a part of my chat log with the support: ME: are you gonna move all accounts to UK or somewhere else? ME: you are US broker, right? OANDA: We are US broker, and we don't have any plan yet on moving accounts to somwhere else. They are not scared of CFTC... Memento mori! |

I totally agree that all will move out of US brokers. I did when they started the FIFO rules. Idiots. What I am really fearful of is that they just wont stop protecting us small retail forex traders. You know, just like seat belts tobacco, etc... What I fear most is that they will somehow try to keep US traders from trading offshore. I don't know how they could do it, they cant stop online gambling now, but big brother is resourcefull and stupid enough to try.

Errr - tried to get an account recently? We can't take US clients as we can't find decent brokers that will take them. And then there's the bit that any broker who takes a US client must be CFTC registered. This is the end forex trading for you I'm afraid, unless you're happy with 10:1. Chang beer is evil. |

There are a lot of brokers who do not accept US client, which I assume the NFA/CFTC are responsible for. Patience is a virtue. |

this whole debate is kinda pointless. leverage is not crucial to success. if you cannot make money on 1:1, then you wont on 1:10 or 1:100.
Also it is proven statistically, that lower the leverage, higher your chance of surviving and flourishing in the long run. |

sorry I used the wrong word 'Proven' as I caanot proivde a scientific research.
I have been influenced by some very good traders that have stated this fact over and over again. Also, I have been trading for quite some time now and have not used a leverage higher than 1:5 or 1:6 tops- that has worked well for me. When I use higher leverage, my results are just no better. and have to work harder (and longer) to come out of the draw down. pc8multifx posted: 5abi posted: this whole debate is kinda pointless. leverage is not crucial to success. if you cannot make money on 1:1, then you wont on 1:10 or 1:100.
