No doubt about it, market indexes are easier for most people to 'predict' than currency movements...

CFDs only really exist in Europe, Australasia, some places in the Far East and South Africa. People in the Americas will not be able to trade CFDs. If you live in the UK are want to trade CFDs but aren't bothered if you're broker is offering true ...

Wish I could do that...

Trading a M1 is far more difficult and risky than trading the 4H for three main reasons - 1. The trading costs are huge. If the profit target on a 1M trade was 10 pips and the spread 2 pips then the cost of trading would be 20% - those costs would ...

I'm not a huge fan of eToro myself but one thing they do offer beginners which I think is great is guarenteed stop losses. With a guarenteed stop loss there is absolutely no risk of losing more than you have in your account, very few brokers offer ...

I wrote about this on my blog (FX Brokers) recently and found this post, it's a bit old and there are more options now. But any way to answer your question, I believe the Bulgarian broker Deltastock were the first to offer true Direct Market Access ...

20%-50% per year is a realistic goal. Try and get 35% per month and you'll end-up over leveraged and blow your account. 35% per month compounded would turn $1,000 into around $30,000,000 (30 million) in just under 3 years. Tell me, how many people ...

Well we will just have to agree to disagree about that I'm afraid. However, I will point out that what you are saying pretty much amounts to you claiming that traders should able to pick tops and bottoms and in my experience this is just not ...

Just because a trade moves 50 pips against you, doesn't mean you were wrong about the trend and it's not necessarily a problem, at least not with low leverage. Now even if you're focused on the entries timing it still doesn't mean that a good trade ...

Opps, sorry, it was lost on me *blush* I trade the EUR/USD using long-term trend following strategies. But for me, I personally find the S&P 500 the simplest market to trade, it is easy on me psychologically. Long-term trend following on the EUR/USD ...

Best way to short gold would probably be using Contracts For Difference (CFDs), unless you live in the USA, then you can't.

Really? So people are starting to demand payments in gold? Or countries are demanding payments in gold for their oil or other resources?

If the US Dollar were to collapse why would gold and silver be guaranteed to hold their value? Why not stocks/shares in productive global companies that pays dividends on their profits? Why not farmland? Why is it such a given that gold simply must ...

I don't think any *decent* broker would, the USA simply doesn't allow brokers to offer accounts to people living in the USA unless they agree to follow their rules and regulations. If a broker was willing to break the law like that would you really ...

I'd like to know what the rules to this system are so that I can test them. Are the rules secret for paying members only?

There is no 100% in Forex. Trading is about probabilities, not certainties. 100% is a certainty.

In case anyone is interested, there does indeed seem to be something significant about the time you place a trade, the GBP/USD pair for example, often seems to retrace a little during the evening (evening GMT time) if it makes a large move during ...

Q. What kind of person can trade? A. A Buddhist monk. Or anyone else who can control their own emotions since most monks probably wouldn't trade.
