Hey Chinook - this used to be my favourite thread to peruse through - have you stopped mumbling/trading?

You could be right although I'm still expecting a bounce from roughly here to 1.22-2250 (sold off to quickly) and the likes of trade-ya and other EUR bulls will not give up that easily (I think their eyes are lighting up at the daily support provided here)- although when they do throw in the...

You can always move to South Africa (my home country) - at the moment 9am - so no crazy hours..... or anywhere in Europe for that matter... I see you are trying to do this for a living...good luck!

Thanks Chinook for the link - you have wet my appetite. I think I'll dive into learning the futures world. As you say the Wild Wild West is starting to get way to Wild... Good luck with the short - I believe UK retail sales (GBP negative)are expected to be negative which should drag EUR down...

Thanks - how do you find it in comparison to the retail FX market. I assume you have a retail account as well?

Hi Chinook, What platform do u use for currency futures - can you post a link please. Thanks

Who said there was going to be big moves today :) I'm still rooting for a drop through 1.23 - lets see what transpires. Either way its not going anywhere fast (maybe later....)

I heard RICS data (last night my time) for UK housing reflects small increase in house prices which means the interest rate hikes might be nearing the end - so GBP negative. I'm also shorting EUR at this point - waiting for sub 23 then will probably reverse to long. I do't think there are...

Lets see how long it takes ET to delete this response again. Wow and I though this was an open forum - was I wrong.... OANDA has a 2 pips spread but since they don't sponsor anything on this forum one can't actually say anything about it....

Well the answer is no if you dont actually make money - so I assume the above posters are either square or not making good money.... All retail brokers (read bucketshops) go on the model that 90% of Traders lose (read Casino model). They will treat you failry until you start doing well then you...

This is the username of a Welsh lass that makes calls virtually every day on the Moneytec chat forum - log in there sometime and you'll experience some Welsh hospitality...

Market seems to wating for CPI - although we might still drop before that - EURO is determined to hang on with GBP leading the way down.... Unless the market is getting ready for a bounce - I just wish is would make up it mind and get it over with.

mmm - yes I wish I was trading in my 20's. I've been part-timing now for 3 years and been very successful. Although one sometimes wonders if one is successful because you are part-time.

Some brutal honesty with some truth... Ideally I would like to trade full time - although also have a stable income derived from a non-time intensive source. So if this constitutes trading for a living not sure. Trading for an income that does NOT have to pay the bills - creates a freedom...

Answers to your Q's: 1) Only the spread - and of course your losses ;-) No graphic/data feed costs 2) Nope - not as far as I know. Normally they recommend $3k as the minimum startup - with 1:100 leverage you could lose that money pretty quickly - I nearly did... 3) I live in SA they simply...

Thanks for the prompt reply - sory Baruch for using your thread for this... 1) www.interactivebrokers.com >>Thanks I'll give them a go 2) Liquidity; Liquid enough for you (LOL unless 150-300 contracts on each side of the market don't serve your size needs, in which case you might have...

Hi Scientist, I'm interested in trading Forex Futures - can you give me some info on which Broker you use, how one goes about it etc. I trade FX spot (through GFT) although definitely interested in trading futures - based on the low cost you mentioned. How is the liquidity in the market...

Thanks Rezo - I'll check it out. Sounds exactly like what I want. I'll give the demo account a run and let you know who it goes. All the best

Headcutter - my concern with this platform is it is JAVA based I realise from a technical point of view it is quite beneficial (I'm a developer myself) since no distribution problems as is the case with Windows based platforms but I have seen concerns posted with regards to Java (Web based)...
