Hi, I have a few questions for pro's and amateurs. Trading extremely atracts me, and apparently it will cost me a little fortune . I finally found more or less paying tecnique, and discovered today that it is called scalping , but way more than forex, commodities own my mind. I LOVE to research and study production and consumption, history, geography of gold, silver, nickel, copper, coffee , wheat and other "real" stuff. It started way before I ever heard about forex or even fond markets. So, may be I should push it? What trading companies propose it? I tried demo with cgitrading but somehow i dont like them and the new platform.
Any advices will be appreciated

No one wants to wish you a quick death Vlad. Yes, this forum is forex specific. That is why it is called forexfactory and not stocksfactory or futuresfactory or texashold'emfactory.

Also, you are interested in, and are obviously fascinated by fundamental research, and there is nothing wrong with that. But most people on this forum are technical traders and have little or no interest in fundamental research or trading.

Expecting a response on futures fundamentals from a forex technical forum is a bit futile. I'm not surprised you received no responses.

However, with all that said, if you want to learn technical trading of the forex markets (with a small measure of fundamentals thrown in from time to time), then you have come to the right place. If you're not interested in that, then I wish you success in finding a forum that will provide what you are looking for.

Perhaps someone here who is also a futures/fundamental trader can suggest a forum to Vlad?

It seems my impersonation of davide123 fell flat . Oh well.

Blue? Are you suggesting I'm gender challenged like Mike/Michele? I think I'll just go have a good cry now, 'cause I sooo thought pink was my color. Boo hoo.


P.S. I've shaved off the Mutton Chops since this piccy was taken.
please tell me this aint so.

Go to the Forex Forums page. The one where all the forums are listed.
Near the top, click on "Quick Links", then click on "Edit Avatar".
Click on the radio button labeled "Use Custom Avatar".
Click on the "Browse" button and navigate to the image file you want to use as an avatar.
I believe it has to be either .jpg or .gif image format. I don't think .bmp format will work.
Be sure your avatar is 80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 Kilobytes, whichever is smaller.
Click on "Save Changes"
Ta Daaahh, you now have an avatar!!!

Use Microsoft Paint to either create your own avatar (if you are artistic), or edit an existing image.

You can use MS Paint to enlarge, shrink, cut, paste, overlay, change colors.....a whole bunch of stuff to create/edit your image. When done, choose "Save As" and save it as either .jpg or .gif.

Hint: .jpg is preferred. You really only need .gif if you want an animated avatar.

If you've never used MS Paint before, here's how to find it.
Click Start>Programs>Accessories>Paint.

Paint is dirt simple to use. It only takes a little practice. You'll learn this by doing.

If you get stuck, PM me.

Hitting the browse button simply gives you access to your computer's file system. You then have to navigate to the image file you want to use as an avatar. Once you've selected that file, then hit the save changes button. Don't hit the browse button again or you'll lose the link to the image you jest selected. I hope I understood what you meant. If not, we'll try again.

Sorry Jim. Even though I was just using the picture to mess with you, after thinking about it a while, I got disgusted with it, so I had to delete it.
