    fx & fx futures chat room with news info

    Check out talking-forex.com, only 20 GBP per month. It's a service from the Ransquawk-team which used to cost 100 (or was it 150?) GBP before. I use it and like it a lot.

    Front Running Predatory Programs Need To End!

    Seasonal spreads

    TraderZones, thanks for taking the time and for interesting questions. Yes, exactly. That's what I've been using. I think earlier I did at least outline the thinking of my stoploss, if not the whole formula. I'm comfortable with this type of swings in equity, as I know it pays off IF you...

I urge those of you who're struggling with these BASIC concepts of economics to read up on J.M.Keynes - that's the...
