    J-Trader

    I traded on J-Trader until I switched to forex. It is fairly stable and the depth of market feature is nice. However, be aware that the platform is reset every day after the NY Stock market close and it will not carry over orders to the next day. Also the P/L calculations are for the day and...

    1:5 or 1:10 leverage brokers?

    All the forex brokers that I know of offer 50:1 or higher. In December new NFA rules come on line that will limit leverage to 50:1. Of course only fools trade this kind of leverage on a regular basis. :D

    When is the Forex Market "closed"?

    I briefly tried the RefcoFX demo but it closed down at 4pm New York time on Friday. I asked their sale rep (John Davis) why this was and he tried to convince me that the interbank closed at 4pm. Needless to say that this was the last time I ever considered using Refco for forex.

    Eyes on Fire

    Hawker, Switching to LCD monitors is not the answer (although it would cool things off). High end CRTs have a better resolution than the best LCD monitors. When I started trading I was using one Dell 19” 991 curved screen CRT monitor. My eyes would get blurry and hurt after a few hours of...
