Dear Fellow Traders
I have decided to start this thread for a number of reasons:
1 - I have been monitoring this forum for the last 8 months while I have been a demo account warrior, and I have grown to greatly respect a number of the contributors.
2 - I am about to take the almighty plunge, quit my job, and work as a full time FX trader.
3 - Step number 2 is a major turning point in my life and I am sure there are many out there who are in the same boat as I. As you would well know, full time FX trading can be a lonely, stressful and difficult life - so why not remedy all these problems by following step 4.
4 - In this thread - the brains trust - us fellow traders can assist eachother with any problems, accompany eachother trough the flat times and guide eachother during the hectic periods.
In essence - this thread will be our office/boardroom/classroom.
Besides, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. By assisting one another, who knows, in a year or so we could have our real life meeting at the Casino de Monte Carlo with the millions we have helped eachother obtain.
So without making this opening message too long and scaring all the readers away - and in doing so leaving just myself in the brains trust, which would then lead to the immidiate removal of 'brain' out of the title - I will begin with the following question:
I have chosen to go with FXCM as my broker. I have seen many more negative reviews than ones of the positive kind, but after 8 months of testing countless different platforms, I find that FXCM has the most reliable and user friendly platform while maintaining competetive spreads. Can any fellow trustess advise me if you think I am making a incredible stupid decision and why? If so what platform do you reccomend?
Thankyou for lasting the distance with this, possibly, uneccessarily long message.
I look forward to hearing from all of you!
