I'm confused by everyone's complaints over this. Do you guys really go in THAT much, or are down THAT much that this actually affects you? If you get a margin call, in most cases you're doing something wrong.
Future contracts are 10:1 or even 20:1, are all future traders being screwed because FX is still 100:1+
To be successful in the trading game, find a sound strategy and then learn and understand the rules of your strategy.
