They're obviously still pushing forward on it. Why would they open the policy for comments if they weren't considering it?

Well, at first it has nothing to do with leverage. But most of us are planning an exodus from US brokers. Maybe we'll never execute those plans, but most of us have at least thought about it as a way to escape "the growing stupid." Unfortunately, an ...

At the rate we're going, I don't think China will need to invade us. We'll just give them everything we own and call it a day.

There is little intelligence left in government, the CFTC included. Expecting anything other than the worst possible case from these clowns is setting yourself up for disappointment. The US is killing all of it's businesses one by one. It started ...

"Nanny" is just the excuse. It's about the power to control your life and a way to ensure their corporate owners get their due. This is corruption, pure and simple.

Trader tax status is only relevant if you trade stocks. There is no trader tax status for 1256 traders. Trader tax status has to do with the wash sale rule and whether it applies or not, since there is no wash sale rule in 1256 contracts... If ...

In the US, "full time trader" tax status isn't necessary for 1256 contracts. Forex trades aren't subject to the wash sale rule. You can take money out of the account whenever you want, but you will pay tax on your gains regardless. Provided the ...

Well, in general, you. Stop losses aren't guaranteed in most cases. But it doesn't hurt to ask the broker if they can fix it. Think of it this way: You were long. In order to close your trade you had to sell. There was already a ton of sell order in ...

Slippage maybe?

Sure, no absolute up or down, but since so many pairs are USD-based, you end with xxxUSD. Any USD strength pulls price down, and USD strength is correlated (right now at least) to market weakness. So when the market drops, USD-based pairs tend to ...

I loosely trail my stops and reduce leverage at pre-set times. I don't trade on really small TFs, so it's not a big deal. I do set some alerts to trigger at certain points tho.

You in the US? First, state by state it varies. You may have to pay taxes, you may not, and the rate may vary. Federally, in general, forex is treated either 1 of 2 ways, as ordinary income, or capital gains. You can choose which, due to a loophole ...

Nod. I believe gmail requires TLS/SSL, and MT4 does not currently support that. For those struggling to find an smtp account, you can buy a domain at namecheap.com and purchase "pop3 email hosting" that essentially creates an SMTP server (and pop3) ...
