Interesting that you posted this today- last night I checked out the site and was considering sending my resume... and of course learning more..... how much is that desk fee? are all of you trading through fxcm with the same spreads? What kind of capital is initially given to the...

Early market here is showing dollar strength. Friday, after believing that we would see some USD strength after Greenspan speaking about the growing??? economy (in addition to the bounce we saw after retracting to 1840 levels, what I believed to be a selling opportunity) I went short EUR/USD at...

A trend... you're right! Short the dollar!!!!!!!!!!! :D NYCDT

I have seen a post to RiskArb about Options trading books (fortunately some of which I have already read and have) and decided that since the forex market has caught my fancy lately that I would post the same question. Which books do you recommend to better gauge/understand the forex market...

I had an interview granted for them last summer, but unfortunately was unable to attend. Am very interested in hearing more about them and will possibly submit my info in the future for consideration. NYCDT

Oh- I graduated Cum Laude with degree in Finance, minor in Economics and studied a full year at City University, in Investment and Risk Management- resume is available.

I am from NJ and will be moving back in the coming months- I know of the major firms and would consider them, but I'll throw out this bait------- I am interested in working at a pro firm, no capital contribution. PM me or IM me at bcldemon (aol) if you want to talk. NYCDT

EUR/USD just shot from 1988 to 2028 back to 1982 and now is currently at 2006...... going to have a lot of pissed off people getting blown out of stops tomorrow! NYCDT

I have only heard good things about Oanda, and I am pretty satisfied with their demo, which I am using.... Why are they advertising on their site for Western Union? They have ads all over- Their platform is great, I just think that they need a more professional appearance- the lack of it...

I must say that I am enjoying trading/scalping the EUR/USD- I have focused on this particular pair, rather than trying to become accustomed to many in the short term. So far I have done moderately well- haven't really risked much, though. I am using the Oanda demo platform, but will most...

I have been taking out gains of 3-8 pips in most instances and usually stop my loss at 10- it depends on the cirmcumstance. Quantitatively, this may hurt me in the future because the odds are against me in numbers. What I do have working for me is that I don't work against the market...

I guess you guys aren't large users of stop loss? I try not to use it either, but overnight last night I used one and actually screwed myself at a loss (long) at .18..... would have been a wild ride, but also could have been a horrible tank. NYCDT

Chaos, Thanks for your reply- I'll definitely keep it into consideration in the future. Of the handful of traders watching this post, how many pips do you look for in a trade- both in profit and loss. Understandably, some will choose smaller numbers due to the spread given, but I wanted...

Guys, I have considered OANDA because of their great spread, however, I have been reluctant to open an account. Their site isn't very company like- they have banners (why do they need this source of income if they are well funded and do well?). They don't seem to have the background that...

Would love to chit chat with others who are following the EUR/USD. Have seen quite a bit of volatility lately (tonight i just watched it move up 60 pips within an hour- I am fairly new to forex, but would love to hear what you all have to say. NYCDT

Thanks for the link, but as I stated, I am not very focused on TA factors. Anyone have some good sites other than the big boys- FT, etc.

Am looking for fundamental information sources that those of you who trade EUR/USD in particular and forex in general use. I am more concerned with longer term trades, and am not interested in technical indicators. I'm currently long the EUR/USD and forsee a declining US market in the next...

Would like to find a successful trader to work for (research, opinion, etc) in exchange for learning rights and small fee. I graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Finance, minor in Economics and studied at a prestigious university in London (City University), where I studied Investment and...

Why are traders so bitter?

Are there any other investors out there, or are you all traders? I would like to see some results of investors and chat about what they are looking for in companies right now. nycdt
