Quote from TradeViper:
My experiance in trading SEBL, QQQQ, MSFT back in the day helped me to learn how to trade, but as far as FX is concerned, the only way to learn was to trade. If you want to learn how to trade, trade QQQQs using Noodles as a precursor, swing trade at first so execution is not a big issue and so you can avoid the PDT rule. Play with FX, minis if you must, try oanda or efx, and be prepared to lose you fx stake quickly.

Hi! Cash:
Not really more successful... but a big EYE OPENER: STOPS, STOPS, STOPS, the minute you enter your orders. (Did you see the terrible drop of USDCAD March 20?)
In that respect, FX make us more disciplined.
Best!
