Got an email this morning about FXCM's new managed account service, which you can apparently set up with as little as £500. Sounds good if you don't have time to day trade, but what are people's views on the concept, and on FXCM generally for the newbie forex trader? I tried their demo account...

I've read this thread numerous times, and it's great to have the basic principles distilled into a succinct article like this which reminds us of the ground rules when we haven't got time to re-read the in-depth text books. It really helps you to see the wood through the trees. I'm looking...
