(can) small accounts make a living ?!

If you trade strictly breakouts for certain time frames, and "catch the train" to profits so to speak, it is very possible to grow an account of modest size into an account you can siphon funds to live off of. Good breaks happen at least a couple ...

(can) small accounts make a living ?!

Daily GBP/JPY analysis

Oanda's quick pricing
