About the Aussie - You know that I don't follow the futures so what you said about the volume is news to me. Just looking at the daily chart has me really bullish though. We've had some strong upmoves that have all had pretty healthy retracements, if that makes sense. Fundamentally I'm not...

Anyone know the effects this had on the currency markets over the weekend? Right now it's looking like some big moves took place.

Appreciate the input thus far. As one person asked, I'll be putting about 10k into an account, and I place, on average, 1 trade every other day (obviously sometimes more frequently and sometimes less frequently). Thanks again.

Which Forex brokers offer the best spreads (EUR/USD is primarily what I am interested in)? I've looked at a few and they have 3 pip spreads. I find that a bit extreme. Are there any that have better spreads? If not, would I be better off trading the futures? Thanks in advance.

Pick a currency and start watching its chart to learn how it moves. Spend at least a few hours a day doing this. After a few weeks or even months doing that, start trading with paper money and keeping track of what you do, what works, and what doesn't. That may take anywhere from a few months...

What is the IRC channel?

I've seen plenty of videos that discuss similar, if not the same, topics. I don't have much of an opinion and I don't really care too much either. However I am open to the possibility that everything said is true, and it's sad that most people are not. People hold beliefs far too rigidly, and...

www.dailyfx.com may be what you're looking for.

Come on, someone has to understand.

Would someone care to explain what cd23 meant, especially by the crayola 101/102. Thanks.

Maybe move to politics and religion? My bad.

but is it important? The video offers some interesting points for sure. I can't say if I agree or not, at frankly it doesn't really matter what I think. But it seems like 95% of people will automatically go into some type of denial when a subject such as this is mentioned, and that sickens...

I wish I could offer some better information, but all I can say is I use a tablet laptop but I don't use it with the pen. I have tried the pen out, though, and it works just like a mouse and you could definitely hit bids/asks effectively with some practice. Also, if it means anything, this...

Yeah thanks for the post. It's important tot keep in mind that cutting 50 BPS is unlikely because that limits what they can do in the future.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a chart that highlights previous FOMC rate decisions and the reactions of various markets. Ideally, the chart would give a little info on the decision itself, then the chart would show in what way the market reacted. Am I asking for too...

Thank you for the replies.

Is there such thing as a demo or mock account where you can trade stocks? Obviously it's not hard to open an account to trade currencies with fake money, but what about stocks?

This may be a bit off topic...but for quite some time I have been trying to figure out how successful traders think. Hopefully what I say will be helpful to some, and I look forward to learning something new. I don't feel like organizing this, so I'll kind of blurt it out. First and...

What's the deal with this being down pretty heavily after the close?

I won't act like I am much better than a novice but...Say the market (crude oil) is 88.01 bid 88.02 ask. Sure you could put an order in to buy at 88.01. However, the market would need to be asking 88.01 for you to buy. That would mean you would have to sell the bid (88.00) so you are at a...
