The forex market trends well for me. It doesn't really matter who is on the other end of the trade, whether it be banks, guest workers or speculators. Of course, GBP/JPY trends the best and more than makes up for the larger spread. By the way, the Russell 2000 trends just as well. It also...

Tradestation is very easy to learn.

FXCM will allow two accounts set up within one trading station that can be traded in different directions on the same pair. They also will automate your Easy language from TS 8.1. I have inquired since I realize I could trade spot forex more effectively with 24 coverage. But I am just getting...

Lemonade. Organic lemons, organic Maple syrup, das of organic Cayenne pepper. The will cleanse you in the morning and keep you alert. Snack on fruit later in the morning as there really are no healthy breakfast foods other than fruit.

Incorporate meditaion into your routine every evening to let you worries of the day go. If that doesn't work, try an academic history book. That should be a real sleeper.

I checked them out before I opened my account. I was referred to them in 2003 by a friend who was successful with them. A face to face person, not an online writer. Experience means more than what people may say in a thread. There would, of course, be no reason for me to check them out now. I...

Technically, some retail FX brokers may take the other side of your trade and then pool their trades in the interbak market. All I know is that I have been trading in this market for 3 years and there are no issues that would keep me from succeeding. If you prefer me to call the spot market...

You obviously have never tried it. With such a closed mind, you are not likely to succeed at trading anything. Pehaps I should add one to the trading obstacles. Fear, Greed, Laziness and Ignorance.

Scalping may be, but daytrading should not be an issue. I wouldn't know. I swing trade.

Consider reading the other threads on Forex Brokers. I used to trade E-mini S&P futures and Nasdaq 100 options when they were high flyers. I have settled into the interbank forex market. I have been trading this market for 3 years without a hitch. Sure, there have been some slippage...

The real account behaves like the demo; but you won't trade the real account like you trade the demo. Fear, emotions and the other demons in human nature will take over until you get used to learning how to tame them. Besides, if you have only been trading for two weeks, it is unlikely that you...

Forex doesn't close. You won't experience a gap except from Saturday to Sunday. You don't have to worry about the maket gapping and causing your account to be in the red. The broker will close your trade when you are below margin before you account goes to zero. There is a possibility that a...

This is good to know. What size account is required to get real time volume data on CME currency futures? Does the charting service come free with the account and include volume? Please elaborate. I use FXCM to trade the spot market but the necessary charting costs $100. / mo.

I am interested in your comment. Would you please speak on (write on) the advantages of trading as an LLC over trading as an individual? Or would you direct me to information regarding that? Now that I am consistently profitable, I am considering trading as a business entity. Thanks in advance.

Yes I am winning. I wouldn't still be trading after 3 years if I wasn't winning. The first year I lost. The second year I broke even. The third year I was profitable. If I lose and burn through my account, the broker loses because they don't rake in any more commissions off of me. If I win, then...
