- Margin trading is commonly referred to as gambling with fancy words like "FTSE, Gold and Currencies". Unlike the 'horses' or 'dogs' investors are trading on volatile markets with no clear understanding of what the product is, how it works and most importantly what makes it move. Regulators in advanced economies have touched on this and have tried to draw some barriers so that brokers are more aware and so are their clients on the possible risks.

We'll see this reflected both in the public brokers' data, such as FXCM below, and in this quarter's profitability report (due in October). Not surprisingly FXCM shows a very strong growth in volumes, especially institutional ones, amid slow growth in number of accounts.
