My thinking in picking that number was that it's still incredibly ridiculous to trade anything with 33:1 margin, but it's more conservative than the 100:1 margin some forex brokers offer?

Forex market needs this high leverage because the forex prices move very little relative to stocks, futures and options. Stocks are low leverage instruments but they move a lot (often move 10% or 20% in a single day and 5%, 2% movers are everywhere.) If one actually made 2% (without margin) a day (1% on margin) for 250 trading days in a year, an initial stake of $10K would grow to $1.4M in one year. 33:1 margin is very low for the forex market.

Please reconsider this margin. Because of the nature of the forex market, 100:1 margin is low. 200:1 margin is high.

The more the movement of the underlying instrument, the less the leverage required and the less the movement of underlying instrument, the more the leverage required. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
