When I was an undergrad at Tulane in New Orleans back in 2004 they offered a course on Fundamental and Technical Analysis as applied to G-10 currencies. The first half of the course was about learning the basics and the last half was demo-trading. ...

First comment would be that this person doesn't know the your vs. you're difference. What an idiot. Secondly, they don't seem to grasp that all charts from various brokers and even from the interbank reflect the exact same movement minus a few ...

I'm annoyed that I didn't even get an email. Checked my junk folder, inbox, and deleted items. Nada. How can they not figure out how to email all of their clients????

I can't even get that link to work! This is pathetic.

Not to be too picky, but opening a position and closing it 20 hours later is not really considered scalping. A scalping strategy tries to take only a few pips at a time in a very short time, i.e. 20m or less. Making 3 or 4 trades in a day that last ...

Flyboy I've been with FXCM for quite some time. Send me a Private Message and I would be happy to tell you about what I've seen over the years.

From a security standpoint I did notice something that made me a bit worried for a moment the other day. I was logged into my account on my iphone and hit "refresh" in order to have an updated look at what my positions were doing. Well, when it ...

Over the course of last week the account went from $550 to $600 down to $180 up to $850 then finally down to $2.49, lol. This was pretty much expected because my theory is that one needed a certain amount of luck to get the account to say $2500 and ...

No takers eh?

While I agree with you in one sense, I must disagree in another. There happen to be a few legit folks out there that can help the uninitiated navigate through the minefield of BS that floats around in the trading world. Sometimes having someone who ...

PM sent!

I was wondering how much the fees are to have a setup at one of these shows. I sent an email to the Forex Expo website but have not received a response. Any idea?

Only one way to find out... Seriously though, you could always throw together $1000 and open a small mini account to get your feet wet.
