I'm trying to get into the currency market. Do you guys have any recommendations as far as currency brokers, charting services, and strategies? Thanks for your help.
FX. So far I have found www.fxcm.com and www.forex-gci.com They're pretty much the same, but GCI offers precious metals as well.
I was wondering if Level 2 screens are available for currencies. Esignal seems like a good program, but the price is a bit too steep. GCI offers Esignal for free as long as you have over 50 trades per month.
FX can be extremly profitable, but if you are on the wrong side then high leverage will empty your trading account in a minutes.
I trade at FXCM for more than 1,5 years and haven't had any problem yet. They are good for daytrayding - no slippage at all, no comission, competitive spread. Trading terminal is reliable and simple to use. Withdrawal - maximum 2 working days and profit is on my bank account.
Anyway - first try demo trading.
