Nav, there is no escaping the loss of money. So, get on the bandwagon and start trading real capital and get a feel for the real psychology of trading, right now you are just wasting valuable time trading a demo account. Trust me, you will never be perfect an neither will anyone else. JUST DO IT!!

good point because fundamentals might back this theory up and then shoot cable to 450 area next week.

ok man no problem but i am new as this too
heres how i see it
dollar goes opposite direction of commodities( gold, silver e.t.c..)
so when commodities fly dollar sinks and vice versa
i believe when dollar sinks cable gets stronger and also vice versa

as for Dow it has a strong correlation with GBP/JPY they follow each other i think For more information on this particular subject theres a thread for gbp/jpy with great analysts (like karmostaji e.t.c...)

The dollar is not influenced by the commodities. The commodities themselves are influenced by the dollar. A weak dollar means that other countries find it cheaper to buy oil and gold which is traded in USD. Therefore the price of these commodities increases as is happening with oil and gold.

the gbp/usd is going to fly high as this is a temporary downfall before the rise. The downfall is usually due to people who have shorted putting in more shorts to try and average down their positions. So once they have been wiped out the pound will rise again to around 20450 level

just my opinion.

well actually i have to disagree when commodities sink that means they are cashed in dollar. so it is a relationship based on opposition u can witness it on ur screen.

NAVIN you are better off getting a spread betting account to trade the financials as it is tax free in the UK.

yes contracts for difference are good in the UK as you can make 8800gbp (ish) in gains with no tax and claim losses

Spread betting has 2 or 3 pip spreads and no tax at all

If I made huge gains in the UK I pay nothing on the first 8800gbp and then 40% all the way up

in the US its 15% tax at least from the ground up - so the US system favours the rich and the UK system favours small players then hammers the big players over 8800gbp gains

the UK has stamp duty on purchases and vat to pay on larger commissions so small traders probably are no different in the US and the UK - but the US is the place to be for real capitalists

The US still has a 17th century pilgrim's attitude to 'hard liquor' and gambling and prostitution so yes tax free spreadbetting is a great advantage in the UK

Oh I used to love sitting in the park with a hooker and a glass of wine while spreadbetting on my blackberry

yes. i also trade covered warrants with tdwaterhouse. im in long for a warrant for gbp to finish over 2.05 by june 20. can make some good money trading them as there usually is always a period where you are in profit but need some good money upfront.

A short term short for 20 - 30pips, longer term no, so yes there is a risk potential. ( as per always )

Should shorted UJ thats dumped 30pips same time, keeping EU a float I figure.



Time will tell!!!
