    Is forex.com a scam?

    So, I made the mistake of opening and funding an account first, then doing my research second. From everything I've read about forex.com, a solid 80% of the reviews say it's a scam. They claim everything from having their transaction rates changed after the fact, to having winning positions...

    How do you guys not kill your eyes?

    That's actually a very good point. When I switched from my 17" CRT to this 22" LCD, I initally put the LCD at the same distance as the CRT. When I sat down and started the computer, I realized that it was so big and close I had to really look around to see stuff (couldn't see the whole...

    Extremely newb question on USD/JPY

    Yes, it was the EUR/GBP. This was actually my first real trade. Long at .85731 (little late, I know), sold at .85785. I see that I missed a step. So, when trading non-USD based pairs, you have to calculate the profit back into USD from the currency profited off of? I suppose that's...

    Extremely newb question on USD/JPY

    Thank you, much appreciated. Another question... Buy, 10k lot - .085731 = $8,573.10 Currently - .085689 = $8,568.90 I get -$4.20. My p/l is listed at -$7.93. What gives? Seems to be staying like that as well, significantly higher than it should be. Am I calculating wrong...

    Extremely newb question on USD/JPY

    I'm very new to forex, just opened a practice account to try to learn it. There's something I can't understand though, and I've been upable to find anything explaining it. We'll take USD/CHF for example: Bid - 1.08424 Ask - 1.08466 Difference of 4.2 pips, simple enough. On a single...

    It's a rare day when anything on the intrawebz goes easy - I'm surprised myself, but appreciate the help nonetheless. Drinks for all. :p

    How do you guys not kill your eyes?

    I have a small account. I only do 1-2 trades per day (although I'm currently practicing forex to keep me a little busier). Most of my time is spent scanning around and waiting to find an opportunity/entry on something. I try to find solid, textbook setups because commission would eat me alive...

    How do you guys not kill your eyes?

    Darker charts work great. I changed all my charts to black or grey, and made the programs themselves as dark themed as possible, and the difference is tremendous. Thanks for the tip. The pain of a white background is glaringly obvious now whenever I open IE. Oh well, that's more incentive...

    How do you guys not kill your eyes?

    I hope this is the right section for my question, if not then the mods can feel free to move it. I don't trade full-time, but I'd like to. I currently trade on my one day off, and from 8-12 in the morning before work every day. Honestly, my eyes are nearly smoking by noon. How do you guys...

    Short now when you still have the chance

    I don't think he's taking into consideration the FED pumping the market. That wasn't a factor in 1929, but is now. This fake money rally can go as long as Bernanke is turning the money crank. You keep giving your kid money to buy candy and they'll just keep buying it. Or am I looking at it...

    if you own SRS you're SOL

    Good question. Remaining solvent doesn't seem like an issue because they should be moving inverse of each other. Your acount shouldn't really lose any value, but will gain value over time as they both trend towards zero.

    if you own SRS you're SOL

    Slippage, anyone? As said above, you don't "own" or "invest" in leveraged ETFs. Over the long run they only go in one direction... down.

    I want to know why the mods aren't keeping those guys out. They're obviously just trying to troll and start trouble. Boot them the hell out.

    hahahaha! Sure thing man. Google my name. I post on honda-tech under the same name. I also post all over the intrawebz as AWDstylez. I think you and Zones are going off the deep end. Leave the guy alone and let him sink or swim without the harassment. You're making yourselves look like...
