Where do you think retail trading is going?

id like to hear your lot opinions on this topic, how long do you think retail traders will be bale to "access the market"?

Its been dawning on me lately, with all the crypto stuff kicking off and when WSB were fucking hedges funds over a month or two ago..

Everyone I know nowadays who is new goes down the funding route, which I totally understand why, but I never see the question what's the longevity of it, would regulations change, would it be banned across countries. Retail doesn't take up a huge % of market movement in cfd we know this but it is possible at a time in even the next decade or so we will be removed from being able to trade the exchange? and it be left to the big dogs at the banks.

But there is also the fact of the liquidity we bring to the table for the banks, being able to take advantage of the newcomers, brokerages and there fees, the education side (which I don't really wanna give the light of day to) etc

as its the saying of the triple 9 - 90% of traders lose 90% of their capital in 90 days.

from thousands if not 10 of thousands of people just chucking their money away to the next guy due to the lack of knowledge and skill they hold at that point

been watching over FF now for a couple years, seen people come and go, from good to bad

for me im sorted, fx has brung me a much more healthy and wealthy life, buy cool things, help family and live without pressures, but I love it, I don't wanna stop, im 20, I want to do a lot more ya know

and I don't wanna find out in x many years I gotta get a job at hedge fund to still do what I love.

hey I may have to found my own.

would love to hear from you lot

Good questions indeed

What i hope in the future is more brokerages allowing international people like me to access the US direct stock market. Fx is cool, with its access for all, but it would be nice to have acess to a centralized exchange like stocks and stocks are a good investment vehicle.

acess is so important,I hope for more acess across markets in future not less. Of course what i want and what can happen are two different realities.

I believe they need retail to survive. Therefore, I don't think it is in their best interest to cut us off. But it is likely they will make it harder for us to win over time. US traders may especially have it hard. FIFO is already proof of how unfair they can be to retail.

I mean retail FX is as old as 1996 so they aka big boys were trading way before that since ,maybe the 70S ?? so do they need us? dunno...

If they don't need us, then why are we here? We are trading FX because we are needed.

awesome responses, really interesting

Post #610,407 In cable thread is a top quality post. recommend anyone interested to look at it

We know about why we're needed as retail FX market about as much as how many real reasons the market actually moves.

Some educated guessing but we don't know really. If they had liquidity before us they'll have it afterwards I just think they personally like eating up our accounts
