This obviously is true, but the risk is still present, so if we want to be successful then we need to be hard working, as that’s the only way we will find results in our favor. At the moment my main focus is on currency pairs since they are far easier to manage, but with having high quality broker like OctaFX, it obviously helps due to their giant bonus up to 50% on deposit, it’s also an amount which is completely use able, so that makes me work better and easier.
