    are all forex brokers scam artists?

    I opened up an account with FXCM micro the beginning of the week and if I'm being scammed they're being really sneaking about it haha Before i ever deposited money I checked out the live feed and compared it to forex on think or swim and another bucketshop and they all moved pretty much...

    Ever push the wrong button?

    yesterday as a matter of fact accidentally doubled up when i meant to sell. Glad i doubled checked everything (well single checked i guess since the first "check" evidently didn't work) and was able to exit both in a few seconds and the spread was the only thing it cost me.

    Is FOREX a SCAM?

    Ok i don't have anything against FXCM micro quite yet. I compared the quotes from the live account to the ones from my thinkorswim demo and from another bucketshop and they were all pretty similar. A little off here and there but that's be to be expected with what this is. I couldn't...

    Is FOREX a SCAM?

    I just opened up an account with the bucketshop FXCM micro. Kind of makes me nervous just how Easy it was to open the account ha and I still haven't funded it yet. I only plan on throwing $100 in and messing around with it for hopefully more than a couple days and more like a couple months...

    Why are there so many people unemployed?

    Well up until the mid 90's we still had a lot of manufacturing jobs here Now we mostly just sell crap to each other that was made in another country. The reason we peaked as an economy in the 90s is because we were in the middle of transferring from a manufacturing based economy to a...

    Birinyi rides the bull, sees S&P 500 soaring to 1,700

    and 1280 really wouldn't be out of the question either by the end of the year if they let the dollar drop back to around 70 or 71 we've been gaining a little less than 200 points on the SP 500 for each $5 we lose on the dolar index since the March lows

    Birinyi rides the bull, sees S&P 500 soaring to 1,700

    It's possible if the dollar keeps heading down but I'm thinking the Fed reserve is probably going to try to keep it above 70 but you never know. Nothing is a straight line of course but if.... $90 on dollar index = 666 on the SP500 $80 = 920 $75 = 1,100 so using fuzzy math we...

    How many unemployed do you know?

    Here in my part of Mississippi and other towns about this size this recession/depression whatever it is you want to call it started in the mid to late 90s really. This is a hella small town of about 1,200 but we had 2 factories up until 1997 or so. One was an alternator factory and the...

    Biggest Trading Mistakes

    I can agree with this one. I don't really have much of a problem of admitting I'm wrong and bailing on a losing trade but training myself to take that profit on a winner and run has been much harder.

    Does a credit score matter anymore?

    I don't have any credit cards anymore. I just use a debit card for everything like that. How easy they are to use when stolen is really the main drawback with that tho. I just have a separate checking account set up to use with that card and just transfer money over there when needed...

    can you explain a NinjaTrader bad fill ?

    Were you trading at night or did 6E have some lighter volume at that point? Sometimes especially at night the bid and ask for futures will actually be different than the number showing on your chart since the chart seems to only recognize the "last price" As far as i can tell a certain...

    GM to shut down Saturn after Penske walks away

    Still doesn't really make sense to me why they'd want to shut down dealerships. I mean i get it if they're directly across the street from each other and they want to cut down on some competition. It's not like they own the dealerships directly tho and are losing money off them. They're not...

    grain spreaders

    Yeah having a lack of charts on TOS is my main problem right now. I had their software up and running for a couple of months without any problems then i guess they updated it a week or so ago and i haven't had the chance to finish the new download. Where I'm living now for the next couple of...

    grain spreaders

    Hey thanks I've been messing around with these a little bit the past couple of days on the thinkorswim demo i have. It's looking like wheat and, kind of surprisingly to me, feeder cattle have been the most volatile out of the ones i've bought/soldshort. Would you guys say these are...
