And it's less work, and a lot more fun.
Especially once you get to $1mil in risk capital (maybe you are already there, that's none of my business). I mean if you can't make more than 8% a year, you suck at FX trading... or your risks are extremely low (like 0.1%, and even with risks that low... you could make more than 8% a year)
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.
