I sacrificed a goat. The market gods smiled upon me. Its a good thing that no one ever loses money doing this.:D

Hey, do me a favor. Look at NZD/USD for a second, on the daily chart. Look back, oh, say, six months. I'll wait. Most of you didn't look, I bet. :p Within the past week or so, this pair touched what looks like it's "top". Give or take a few pips, 0.6430 has been the highest since early...

I started a post about two weeks ago, titled "FXCM and oanda walok into a bar..." It was about my choices of broker. There is a famous joke that ends: "Liqour?? (Lick her) But I hardly even KNOW her!!" Just a play on jokes. its not that funny.

I am pleased with how everything is going. I earn approximately 3- 5% weekly. Granted I still make a lot of mistakes, and I spend a lot of time trying to backtrack them, but overall, things are going well. I scalp a lot. I usually am not that interested unless there is an obvious range, and...

Thanks for all the advice last week. My concerns over changing platforms seem ridicilous now. I love the Oanda platform, and had a very good week on it, if I do say so myself. I appreciate all the advice and help. :D

The crazy thing is that right now, tonight, there are a few hundred people who DIDN'T take the time to look this stuff up, and just threw their $$ at FXCM. I am so thankful for my hunch, and moreso for you guys and your advice. I know I am only starting, but I get the feeling that FX trading is...

I guess you edited and answered me, partially. 40% is your target in a year. after that, division helps for the weekly.

So, from what I've read on the boards, you and your Hubby go as far as to "take shifts". I bring that up because when you say "do not overtrade" I am uncertain where that line is drawn. How many trades are you making on Oanda in a day? And, if I may be a little bold, what is a "good week"...

Yeah, I have been talking about that with my wife. I honestly can't know if leverage will affect the way I trade, because all I have done for 6 months is FXCM. All I have known is 100/1 leverage, and I guess I just can't be certain if 50/1 will effect me or not. See, I suppose I just...

Well, OK. FXCM is right out. So I HAVE now looked at MB as well. It's the leverage thing. If Oanda had 100/1 I would be golden.... But the reviews on Oanda seem to make this a clear choice. I am just concerned that I won't do as well, since I have leveraged a lot in the past...

So, earlier this year, I started to "get into" FX trading, with only nominal experience in variable accounts. I downloaded FXCM's demo platform, bought every book I could, and spent about ten-twelve hours a day hacking away at it, while working from home. After having success on most of my...
