    Is Trading Just Guessing?

    The only investing going on in the markets is from the activities of disciplined, long-only value investors. Most other "investing" going on in the markets is speculation. Not making a judgement call on speculation, but it's not investing. But that's just semantics. For speculators, the...

    Fidelity International Trading for foreign curency

    I don't know about #1, but if you're trying to get exposure to the Chinese economy in forex, your best bet would be AUD in my opinion.

    Trading Sizes and Slippage

    Keep them under a yard and you shouldn't be moving any markets. Forex is very liquid. I think you'd be raising alarms at your broker first before moving markets. And that issue would be broker specific.

    Smartphone/Oanda platform

    For your purposes it works. But like someone said no charts. But it will show you your positions, open orders, and all pertinent account information. And there's a rate table.

    Becoming an FX Money Manager

    While a CFA certainly carries some well-deserved distinction, I don't think it's really a relevant acronym in forex. Maybe if you had a degree in economics. I think a CMT might be more useful for you and you'd learn some valuable tools that you could immediately put to use. But I'm not really...

    Becoming an FX Money Manager

    I know what you mean, but these days a professional designation wouldn't put me at ease, it'd be more of a prerequisite. The solid 12% per week returns every week would make me run away fast.:D

    Becoming an FX Money Manager

    well come on.. i never implied that he should compound. I was merely pointing out that the OP had mentioned 12% per week is well within an easy range for him and if that's the case (big if), he can make more money just trading his own book than being a money manager. Nothing about compouinding...

    CitiFX Pro

    I asked about Saxo, and the CitiFX Pro rep told me Saxo is the technology provider for the trading platform but the liquidity is from Citi.

    Do you feel that there are enough signals day in and day out to trade off of support, resistance or trend lines? Are there periods of randomness where you may go through long periods of no trading signals with just those simple levels? How are the signals in a 15m chart? The noise seems to...

    Sorry for hijacking your thread, bstay. I'll take it from here.. Well I'd say that I'm still in the early stages of defining and refining my so-called indicators. What I've been focusing on more is money and trade management. Trying to keep losses small and maximize on the winners. So in this...
