And dude, understand that was YOUR problem that you took in their assurances with warm welcomes. And the rate cut didn't matter. As I said... feeble. Negatives rates make the CHF "unattractive." I don't necessarily think it's amateur because I don't ...

EUR/CHF

Lol I know, they got bailed out. Like I told someone else, I wasn't surprised the fix was dropped. Just surprised it took so long. Complacency breeds indolence. Traders thought everything was a sure thing. The 1.20 floor would always stand and all ...

EUR/CHF

Right the facts. The fact is.. SNB dropped the fix, tough luck. Brokers lost because they want to offer 300:1 to clients. Look, I don't care about central banking. Their all the same. My beef is people whining about it as if they owe some sort of ...

EUR/CHF

Sure, maybe it would have lessened volatility. The funny thing is, you said every one knew that day were to come. However, it was bad timing because the market was caught of guard. The problem is not the SNB, but the complacency of markets. We feel ...

EUR/CHF

I think the problem is traders have become lazy. Why would you assume anything is a sure thing. Profits aren't a sure thing, and the EURCHF is not a damn sure thing. The sad thing is, if people would pull their heads out of their arses, they would ...

EUR/CHF

Not necessarily, not in an event like this. Who knows where they're cut on a 3,500 pip drop. I have personally see traders' margin go into the negative under "normal" circumstances.

EUR/CHF

That's proven to be a myth.

EUR/CHF

You kidding? The SNB finally has credibility. How is the SNB's fault traders are lazy? The credibility was lost when the peg was created in the first was place. Traders have ate out of central bankers' hands for six years and this bullshit thing ...

EUR/CHF

finally someone gets it! I'm surprised FXCM is still around. I bet even European brokers lower their leverage to clients. Couldn't imagine looking at my account and owing $X,XXX

EUR/CHF

Christ people, it's called slippage. How do brokers stop an instantaneous 1,000 pip collapse? The facade couldn't last forever. Nevertheless the crazy leverage most people run on here does no help. Means you're vastly under-capitalized.

EUR/CHF

Hey there! Long time my friend. The pair go achieve higher prices, but resistance looks to be stacked going forward, while a retrace is likely. I think it is same to say Kuroda has gone metal, and the BoJ will undoubtedly be the catalyst to the next ...

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

Five percent on $100 might not be a lot. Five percent on a trader's several million dollar account is no small peanuts. It's all relative. I can say stop losses are larger than one thinks. They have the capital to sway in the markets. I don't think ...

Trading risk - what about hedge funds?
