I hate it that I have a freakin US account with high ass margin requirements... Can even hold my position.... I'm also a poor ass student. Can't trade gold... Why do we have laws where people buy a lot of CDS and then collapses and they make so much money and they leave the country while the little guy can't even trade gold and trade forex... With a lower margin requirement.!!! This country sometimes sucks.,,
Why are you keeping your US account? I have no choice because I am in the US. You may try some reputable brokers in UK. They are much more flexible. Also, they provide so many instruments not available and not permitted for the US residents.

Researching brokers currently. What instruments? I know hedging is allowed. Never tried it but it sounds like a great benefit for an unsure trader like me. Are our deposits insured if the forex company goes bankrupt? I know its not likely but.. I would like one that is insured. Given the current situation with europe and US and crazy bank gamblers using banks accountable for their loss. I want to trade for a bank too! Hedging makes billions what kind of world do we live in now!

do you think you'd have better results trading if you had less margin requirement, greater leverage, and access to more volatile markets?

i would try to gain consistency with one or two pairs with tiny position sizes nothing near the 1:50 maximum US citizens are allowed before seeking new markets and larger bets

Yes I get a lot of margin calls... For not good reasons. My direction is correct. I can decide how much to lose with my stop loss. Brokers have money... Even though it's a 4 trillion dollar market. They can still push 40 pops against me. But with a lower margin I can still set a 2- 10% if I feel like it. I'm okay at math. But making it 2% is just telling brokers to kick my ass to the curb.

If they are doing this because it's a good thing. Why are they prohibiting hedging.... It's also probably to make us lose money as well. Foreign forex trader are beating any US forex trader not because they have a better strategy. Just getting played by our government. They want you to invest in stocks and other things..

Neuron you have a US account? I guess the 2% margin helped you become a great trader. If I had money... I'll definitely go into stocks. Yeah more liquidity helps the poor folks with a bit of knowledge.

I don't like my entry but it's kinda working it out right now. I'm going for breaking that 1.000 level. To life or to death... It will fall, but really I have no clue when.

Micro or standard doesn't help change the margin requirement haha... That won't help me...

Well if you barely have enough to cover your margin then that means you're already over leveraged in 1 lot trade. Trade smaller on micro account to build your account then switch to mini then to standard.

Over leveraged? That's what forex is suppose to be... I need the leverage! Margin call is not because of my leverage. It's the margin requirement I have to keep so my margin left over is so small... Two different things in my opinion.

If I had a lot of money... I would not invest in highly liquidated investment. This is one thing I won't do. I don't have a lot of money so I need my $1,000 look like $100,000 or $300,000 which is nice. I'm using charts and so on... I just have to calculate how much I'm willing to lose. To make this short... It's the damn government fault. I love America but right now it's in shambles. Wealthy gets more wealthy, poor people get their houses foreclosed and have to pay taxes to fix the shambles.

Possible three tops... If it falls I joining bears... If not. Hope it extends to 1.0050 where I exit and wait for bears.

May be I need reading glasses but really cannot find the push button of "10050" at this moment.

people can definitely scalp 20 pips at this level. psychological level at 1.0000 it's not even a support or anything... kinda falling now, but not enough.

didn't think about this but will remember in the future.

it couldn't break it three times... go for a fourth? the more times it tries the less likely it'll happen again. =/
