Hong Kong Registered Generic MetaTrader Broker — RVMarkets

September 29th, 2010

RVMarkets isn’t particularly outstanding Forex broker. They offer rather generic conditions for the non-US MetaTrader brokers — low minimum account size, micro-lots, on-line payment systems for account funding/withdrawals, high leverage, etc. At the same time they don’t go beyond Forex and offer only currency pairs for trading. The company …

Book Review: Fooled by Randomness (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)

September 26th, 2010

I don’t remember who suggested reading this unusual “trading book” to me but whoever that was, I am sincerely thankful to that person.
