    Oops! I meant to say: "Please don't take AWAY Forex as a legitimate trading vehicle." And also
    wanted to add that the trading gaps in the stock market won't allow you to trade CERTAIN time
    frames with moving averages, not all.
    Sincerely,

    I've read about the proposed regulation to change the leverage in Forex to 10:1
    I believe this is the wrong way to tackle the problem of people who have lost money in Forex. I've
    tried various demo platforms and saw that EVERY platform I tried shows you the profits and losses
    on your positions in real time. The ONLY way that you can lose your shirt in that kind of situation in
    my opinion is if someone is in flat denial. I've spent 18 months trying to developa method to
    trade Forex profitably. And I believe I'm very close to becoming profitable. However, when testing
    methods, I want to use the smallest amounts of money. Lowering the leverage to such an amount
    makes it impossible to use small amounts of money to gain experience. How can you gain
    experience without using real money? I now have a micro lot account with an off-shore broker.
    The stock market is simply not the same because it does not operate 24 hours a day. The trading
    gaps will not allow you to trade with moving averages. Also, if you have a full time job, you cannot
    easilly day trade stocks. Please don't take Forextrading asa legitimate trading vehicle. If
    someone used a calculator, they would see the tremoundous amount of flexibility you have with
    micro and mini lot accounts.
