Hi Fast Trader

I use FXCM, whom I find to be good. They seem to have good customer service and good order execution.

I use Oanda, and they are great. If you want to play with $50 or a couple hundred they are definitely your broker. I have heard you shouldn't trust them with tons of money but i have never heard any good reasons for this. Smallest spreads as far as I know.
 
Hi Baggerlord

I have looked at using them. They definitely have attractive spreads. How do you find the order execution?

It is instant, and have never had a bad fill. No affiliation, I really am just amazed at how good of a deal it is.
What do you use for charting? Can the same T/A techniques that we use in stocks and futures be used in the Forex market?

Free real time charting comes with Oanda. It trades a lot different from US markets. Read marketsurfers journal, it explains better than I can. I think it is easier to trade once you get used to it. To sum up, ride trends. I would never fade a breakout in Forex.

Hi

Long on the EURO........It is very oversold on the daily chart, and has also become oversold on the 1H chart. If 0930 holds (Which was previously strong resistance--now support) then upward movement is a possibility, however I guess if 0930 breaks then a resumption of the downtrend could occur.

Reusmption of previous trend is always an option, but besides reasons you mentioned, I see faliure to go down last week is indicating we are going to test upside borders.
Take a look at 240min charts as well - became oversold without significant move down - this, after recent push upside also indicates move north.
