Biggles:
Pay close mind to Ezduzzit's post (No 8), & his following comments re; trading the Euro if you're intent on persuing these instruments.
Euro is the big dog of the $ Indx, & tends to truck along in the middle lane (unlike it's lower weighted cousins). It therefore lends itself to a more sedate journey & adheres a little better to the tech's.
I haven't read any of the mainstream books out there, so can't really pass on any reccommendations personally, but Buk has just informed me who this Felix dude is
Stay the hell away from these characters! Unless of course you want to continually donate your hard earned to the snipers & sharks who circle in wait for all these poor, unwary feeder fish roaming the FX sea's at chow time LOL.
Great post Ez

about covers the important points!
