Damn, great homework!

For those who trade Forex and Stocks/Futures/Options, what are the major differences in your trading strategies in Forex v. the other vehicles? With Forex, there is no real volumne data, so I am certain that makes a difference in T/A. With stocks, you get more benefits if you stay in long...

Thanks guys, looks like no one is all that impressed. Still with the good things I have read regarding their Stock/Options/Futures trading, I will probably open an account there to trade stocks. Probably off to Oanda for FX.

I had another nice poster here point out to me that ThinkOrSwim offers Forex trading. I was looking at ThinkOrSwim for Stock trading, and was thinking about Oanda for Forex trading, but if I can get all my trading done through one broker as I get started, it would be great. I have read great...

Damn, well he was right about Goog to $600. Anyone see Goog to $750 in the next year?

I greatly appreciate your advice. I am in a situation where I have made enough long term investments (mutual funds, real estate) and have lived so cheap (honestly, I am by far the cheapest person I know) that I can almost live off my investments and retire at 29. So I want to learn to...

Whoa, hold on to your horses. I don't want anyone to do any work for me at all. And I certainly know there are no short cuts. The reason I want to trade is mostly for financial freedom (not to be rich, just to be able to survive while working for myself), the second reason is the...

Midnight to 10AM? But with both markets being close part of this time, I would guess things are flat. What is CCI, GL, and GT?

Thanks man, I am just learning Forex, and I have been studying the GDP/USD combination. I was told by a day trader I met at the gym he recommends the GDP/USD due to its volatility during the morning hours (both markets open). I am guessing you use technical analysis to make your judgement on...

Agreed, I have been studying Forex, but I might go ahead and open up a ScotTrade account and purchase this sucker if it appears to bottom out. Under $100 looks like a bargain, at this time.

My goodness, down to $99. Is this just a mix of small news, and October worries?

You went long at 2.0490? It has gone done since then to 2.0405 as of this post. Did you get stopped out?

This is probably a silly question, but I was curious as to Tax Return Information with trading Forex. If you use a spread only charged Forex account, do you get a tax income statement to help file your taxes at the end of the year? Or do you have to keep your own income records to report...

Thank you for your help. Yes, I plan to trade in small amounts. If I go with a $10,000 account, I will only be trading maybe $3,000 at a time, and risking hopefully only 2% MAYBE 3% on my stops. I know this will be a long jouney, and I may never even become profitable enough to live off...

Thank you for all your help. I ran to the library and checked out "Trading For A Living" by Dr. Elder. I read through it in a week, loved it, great read. I have another of his books on hold at the library, and I plan to read this book again before checking out the next book. I have...

Thank you! Yes, I know better than to expect to read a few books and find some great trend break out that will turn profits 90% of the time. I know it will take research, time, and finding a system that not only logically makes sense but also fits my personality. I was impressed by Perry...

Were do you go as a beginner to begin learning correctly? I have read quite a few books, and now I can tell when some are basically junk and others at least have some substance. Thanks!

I did not see any of this books mentioned in the Book section of this forum. Does anyone have any opinions on his book or his MOM/MA trading methods? Thanks! :cool:

I feel silly for asking this, but does most any broker offer these inverse ETFs?

Thanks man! Just wanted some names and ideas to start to follow. :cool:
