Here's my experience of forex trading with the broker：Stay well diversified, use portfolio margin, try to keep leverage below 1.2 under normal market conditions and you can significantly increase your return over time, while allowing enough margin for error and minimize the risk of margin calls in a bear market. Don't trade excessively, or the fees will eat you alive. Keep turnover below 10% annually. Ideally, you should find high quality stocks to buy at reasonable prices and hold them forever.
