If you are a forex author or trader and would like to contribute an article to this forum, please contact the editor at [i][email protected][/i].
Welcome to the Forex Articles Index!
All readers are welcome to continue the discussion of each article from the end of each piece. Please make sure that all comments, questions and suggestions are relevant to the topic in question.
All authors will be invited to join and discuss their submissions where possible but in their absence feel free to discuss amongst yourselves about what they've written.
Quoting articles
Some of these articles are quite long and can take up valuable screen and thread space if you choose to quote them entirely.
What would be more helpful if when doing so is to just extract the section you wish to respond to. You could highlight in bold the parts you like and either respond outside it, or within the extract. Make sure your extract is large enough to encompass the context of the meaning from the original author (although this can be a matter of opinion at times).
Any other methods you can come up with instead of quoting whole articles are fine as well. There might be some moderation at times if quoting whole articles without a specific response to it's contents in order to speed up the reading process.
