While this is a older thread I'd like to thank you all for the information and opinions. As a U.S. citizen and small time trader CFD's had some appeal to me. The rewards do not appear to justify the risks. I'll stick with Forex and stocks. I'm not sure what guns, online gambling, and...

Anley, Are you saying that the individual cannot make money in the long run or are you trying to illustrate the brokers ability to make huge profits? If a disiplined trader limits his or her losses and wins 50% of the time they can still make a good return. Yes the brokers, or institutions...

When I recently found Trade2win.com I was excited since I was unable to find a good Forex forum. There are a few things I'm have trouble with. First, many posts are dated far into the future. Anyone know why? Is this some kinda glitch. The second problem I have is understanding what half...
