    Undercapitalization

    Twenty four percent is easily achievable by an active trader who trades well. It's a harder goal but still somewhat reasonable for someone who is trading part time looking at the market only after hours for an hour or two a day. Any expensive monthly subscriptions will be a major roadblock for...

    Do stocks really go up over the long run?

    Unless you have an investment plan that calls for buying an equal weight of every stock on the planet, you should not waste your time thinking about what the average stock does. You either invest in something that represents one or more stock indices or you invest in a basket of stock(s). If...

    How many pips/week is "Killing it" in FX?

    Fifty pips per week will make you really rich in a fairly short period of time. I'd say 150 pips per week is "killing it." Of course that's for an average week; some weeks you should be happy to make far less and occasionally you should only be happy with making more. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Looks like the $65 a month is an add on for North American Securities News. http://www.equis.com/products/PricingGuide.aspx?c=p It's doubtful that you can get the full range of Reuters' coverage without a delay for anything close to this price. Reuters' cost well over $1,000 a month and a...

    Question for Cayman Island traders

    If you are a US citizen, moving to the Cayman Islands will not help much as far as your taxes go. The US will tax you regardless of where you live and the only tax benefit you will receive is the offshore exemption where you will not pay tax on the first 80K per year in income (this may have...
