One more reason to stick to trading FX and not stray into equities...or cryptos!

Maybe those who quit decided to become full-time retail traders?

Where's FX/crypto in this list? Are they not considered an asset class?

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not trading the AUD/JPY based on recent fundamentals.

But didn't Trump in the past repeatedly express his wish for a weak USD?

Worth reading in full. Clap-worthy article.

Uh oh, gamification...Does Robinhood also offer currency-trading? The article reports a surge in new trading accounts, according to Goldman Sachs. And it looks like it's the same trend for forex brokers if Finance Feeds is any gauge. Tread ...

I wonder who writes these news releases? Can't they even attempt to give a clear summary of what the "finalized rule" entails instead of just stating it's "broadly similar to the proposed rule from January?" For instance, are banks now allowed to ...

Good to know that females are rising up the ranks in the forex sector. My earnest hope is that they make a difference in the way forex firms operate by truly upholding values such as transparency and integrity--instead of merely paying lip ...

Well, it clearly states "Entertainment News," doesn't it? Besides, traders need to chill too. As the saying goes, all work and no play.......

My bet is that they're betting wrong. Yes, the AUD/USD pair could rebound, but the downward slide isn't over...

You have to wonder what the real rationale is for ESMA's regulatory moves because they clearly are not done with the intent of providing consumer protection. In fact, it achieves the opposite effect in that retail traders are driven to open accounts ...

Based on their dismal user ratings at Forex Peace Army, Plus500 seems like a crappy broker. For them to blame their drop in revenues to external factors like low volatility levels in the market just sounds to me like they're in denial mode. If the ...

Anyone who says the new ESMA rules (particularly those pertaining to leverage reduction) are designed to protect traders is clearly prevaricating. Whatever happened to freedom of choice? All things being equal, leverage is every trader's friend, no ...

If I understand correctly, ESMA will give it a trial run for three months to see how things pan out. They only need to look across the pond to realize that regulations like those in the Dodd-Frank law practically killed the retail forex business in ...

Maybe the bank left its risk algorithms in set-and-forget mode?

I absolutely agree: it will be a competitive advantage for brokers outside of ESMA's jurisdiction as retail traders will flock to those who'll offer much higher leverage. Regulators should focus on issues that actually are detrimental to traders ...

How does decreasing leverage protect forex retail clients, pray tell? Does Saxo really think traders are stupid? I sure hope other regulators like ASIC in Australia don't follow suit.
