First, it is important to grasp that all speculative trading is dodgy, whether or not it is in stocks, currencies, commodities or anything more. So there is a risk that your boss will make losses for you. It’s correct that their results are likely to be better than yours in the medium to long-term, even if there are occasions when things don’t go so well. This is because a trader is usually trading your account for you on a commission basis. Obviously, the more cash you have in the account, the larger the anticipated returns and the more commission he can expect to make. You can see that it wouldn’t be worth his time to handle an account balance of 2 thousand greenbacks. In the case of the standard managed forex account, your money is held in another account that you can view and have access to. But there’s another way of investing in managed foreign exchange trading which is called a pooled account. In this situation it does not matter how much your individual funds are and the company will generally accept little investments. There’s more of a risk with pooled accounts in that you can’t see what is happening. You’ve got to trust that the funds are being held safely and the results are correct. It is vital to check up on the background of the company and particularly, whether or not they are members of any regulatory bodies that will protect you in the event of a failure or crash. There is a real possibility of swindles with unregulated managed foreign exchange trading, so do your required groundwork.
