The BoE is placed under investigation by the SFO. How serious are the charges? And what will happen to the bank?

Thanks, Prax and Ammeo, for you view on the positive side of the russian leverage limit. I surely agree that it would reduce the risks for traders, but eventually they take away the other possibilities. It's in the best interest of the larger parties and as little men we are not able to surge against it. Adaptation is indeed here the keyword, real traders keep their spirits high!

You're more than welcome peeterwolf, I am sure that you have seen Greece got a four-month extension on their bailout program. I thought that this would be the first step into the right direction, but on the same website atozforex.com/news/a-state-of-uncertainty-remains-post-greeces-four-month-extension/ . I read that it is only more oil on the fire.

How could you opine that is a comforting fact that this happens. Don't you find it irresponsible to blame it on the SNB event? Personally I think that there should be more transparency on this matter. The other day, I spoke to a trader that was thinking to open an account with this firms, but in the end he refrained from doing so. Lucky him. Hopefully, they will bring the 400 customers who were affected with some good news: Breaking: Liquid Markets liquidated before Swiss franc?AtoZ Forex

An anology can be found in most of daily activities and could be related back to any the trading traits for Forex. However it indeed depends at what stage you are in, since experience matters the most and determines how you view at trading decisions. Nonetheless, the emotional aspects is highly impacting making the anology of poker with trading a very interesting comparison. -

Hey SIUYA, I see that you are a big fan of fly fishing or fishing in general. I can surely relate this leisure activity with Forex trading, indeed do not consider the fish as your opponent and do consider contemplate on the stop/loss when reeling a too large salmon. Yesterday, I came across this article, the CCO of Easy-Forex opines that tradins is just like boxing: Easy-Forex CCO: Forex trading is like boxing - AtoZ ForexAtoZ Forex -
It is indeed not fair, since the regulatory institutions pose this regualtions without and concern of the opinion of the traders. I believe that we as traders need to receive more empowerment to exercise our opinion, instead of taking everything for granted. I found out this interesting article, which discuss the case and even presents some survey of CRFIN: Russian traders not satisfied with 1:50 leverage limitAtoZ Forex

If you ever had to describe and compare the act of trading, with which leisure activity would you compare it too? Chess, checkers?
