Re: Hello fellow "Traitors"

Thanks Paul. I just would like to add a list of pros and cons of Forex and YM. Ofcourse the Pros and Cons may not apply to everyone, but for me it seems that:

1. Forex is 24hrs, live. That means that there is no premarket and postmarket restrictions.
2. Forex has more volume.
3. Less volatile.
4. And is very flexible as far as how much money you want to risk. Can be highly leveraged, or low leverage.
5. I'm not sure how reliable the Forex trading is, but I have not heard about Forex servers going down.
6. I have not heard about Forex trading being closed because it was going down too much in value.


Now, I would be interested to know the disadvatages of Forex. One disadvantage I know of is that it is not very regulated. But if regulated means closing down trading because it is going too far in one direction then that may not be good however.
