It was / is an unbelievable situation. Have they told you that you will got your money back? Choosing a broker is a real minefield. Thanks Pat494. Igual

Hi all I am looking for a new broker and am curious about the resolution of the Alpari insolvency. I know that they were FCA regulated so clients funds were supposed to be ring fenced. Did the clients get their money back in the end? I am just working out how the regulation works thanks Ig

over optimization - help reading through some of the links, people frown upon over optimisation. I am not sure what over optimisation is. Surely systems fit different currencys and different timeframes in different ways so all systems need to be optimised. I can make my ea produce huge...

fiance Dude, I'd suggest dumping your fiance. She is a financial drain (or will be) and is holding you back from doing what you enjoy. Also you are only a kid ffs what do you want all the commitment for? Join the police? you're probably too young to be accepted at the moment, earn some money...

Ha, footy (UK and european) are where I make 90% of my money at the moment but I do diversify (into cricket, tennis etc) hence the question. Now I am trying to generate another income stream hence I am considering forex or day trading. Forex is more interesting as I earn in £ but live in ozzy...

Having just started looking into fx markets at a time of global downturn, I can't help but feel swayed by the news of crashing economys towards day trading the markets. I realise that it is better to be focussed on one area only but was wondering if people tend to just make money from forex or...
