thanks- that's interesting to hear the $ futures don't have much volume since so many people on here keep hyping them up as the best way to trade foreign exchange... others?

...looking for recommendations for a subscription or free service (if either exists) that will show me through quotes or a chart the EBS or Reuters spreads in real-time (hopefully some type of volume, too) i'm not looking to trade wholesale, just view the data in real time as an indicator...

two part question--hoping to get some comments here from experienced foreign exchange traders: I am starting some new USD strategies and would really like to incorporate some other quotes to the process. For example, if it leads; i'd like to get a chart or ticker of the CME dollar futures...

You are close* - hopefully you'll get some more feedback from some more veteraned traders. i am about 2 years in at this point, and to my knowledge the basic idea of what you've said is correct -- *although, the most important distinction you need to make and not confuse any further...

THANKS A LOT FOR EVERYONE'S SUGGESTIONS SO FAR. ...i must not have been subscribed to this post ! thanks again

this may be a possible firm, with reputable clearing, requiring very low margin on derivatives, FX, and futures... http://www.liverpooltrading.com NOTE i have never used, just seeing low rates on their site; wanting to add this to the discussion

I was referred a few books lately that look really good and were what I was looking for... posting here for others' future reference -"Forex Revolution: An Insier's Guide to the Real World of Foreign Exchange Trading" by Peter Rosenstreich, MBA; of Rose Stevons & Company (note, this is...

Has any one heard of this company or Drakoln? Obviously, they are selling a lot of books and seminars , but what they claim to offer on trading fx or futures is looking really competitive. http://www.liverpoolgroup.com Anyone with comments or experience, please chime in I just stumbled...

yeah, mjg i noticed the reviews by 'super trader', it was really entertaining... many seem like strategic endorsements to me! plus, the super-positive review of his own book (and then, as you noted he later admits his real identity, which was really smooth) lol i'm not really holding it...

Has any one heard of this company or Drakoln? Obviously, they are selling a lot of books and seminars (which usually means 'run away'), but what they claim to offer on trading fx or futures is looking really competitive. Site says 'Our forex accounts are cleared through ODL Securities, Inc...

One book idea: "The Green Bubble" by Robert Bell Has anyone read this... or is this book even really out yet? I see some reviews, but nowhere online has it in stock.

I'd love to get a few current book recommendations... something that's came out really recently or one you consider a 'classic / must - read' specifically, something related to how the markets work or various careers in finance and trading; maybe even something loosely related that you just...

Interesting stuff... I have seen all these shows, and wasn't saying there are not some very qualified people on there; many, if not all of them, know more about economics than I do. I was simply adding the fact (that was absent from this entire thread) that TV is driven by advertising $$, and...

Chris- how long were you making a profit, and what time frame did you typically trade? Please let me know - I'm curious because i was thinking of going back to retail fx to run some fairly conservative intra-day strategies... i used gft, about a year ago, though thx

CNBC corresp's 'real life investment traders' ??? huh. TV is TV guys. it's all sponsorship dollars, and it's all paid advertisement, whether they will admit it or not. 'Stock picks' by these guys may or may not make you money... ...(I hope no one is going for "fast money")... ...but...

Just to clarify, Random: I am not advising you to start trading FX. Retail fx is just the one example i already knew where you can get so much leverage as to trade with a small amount of capital. I was just wanting to expand your post into a larger conversation about building up trading...

Internet, books at the library or barnes & noble, or search here on ET

Random: my comments on the page refer to intra-day trading and focusing on this full-time my view is that, in general ~the larger the time frame, the harder it is to control risk~ in longer time frames trading becomes more subject to time and chance, and becomes a whole different...

Thanks student... That is a good point that it is hard to make a living with only a limited room for risk. I think random is more talking about a learning curve... I really am just looking for suggestions of highly leveraged products for experienced traders. So, the forex account I...
