I am very lucky that I am able to follow this lovely site, as this keeps me updated with everything and that really helps me perform at my best, but I don’t really prefer Gold too much due to the risk factor, but at the moment thanks to OctaFX broker, I am in pretty healthy shape with their monstrous 50% bonus on deposit, it is really lovely bonus to have and makes trading all too easy, so that’s why I really prefer this and enjoy working with them.
