Advice I wish I had as a complete forex newbie

Really? Are you sure that stupid people only accomodate? It's great to adapt but maybe the smartest are those who were able to keep the circumstances just the way they liked them. And where would the (once upon a time) free world be were it not for ...

CFTC rap - why you wanna babysit me?

Of course they can/will regulate leverage. The fact that they do so doesn't make it right. They can pay wheat farmers to not grow crops during certain times or pay them extra during other times. They are basically making a judgment call, right or ...

Gee.... you're right. I don't know my pip from my pippette... I'll have to remember that pipette thing. But if you would have known right away that you were stopped out by a "pippette" rather than a pip... why'd ya' ask in the first place????

Skyzer...... I applaud your sentiment but I'm not sure what your remarks have to do with this thread. Perhaps more appropriate threads might be found in "trading discussions".
