Probably the wisest course.

In your own account, the rules are always and only your rules. The decisions are always yours, and so are the consequences.

No, the analysis is correct.

In the exact situation you described, the trader is in the same situation as a customer of a bucket shop, or a non-exchange FX broker or a CFD dealer: they've traded...
