Which Forex Trading website in Canada is not governed by US Rules and where Hedging is allowed?
FXCM.com is a good website but it is governed by US Rules. According to Rules in US Hedging is not allowed. Also when you open multiple orders you can’t close the last order unless you close the orders opened before that. When you put a stop for second order it closes your first order insead of last. Therefore I am looking for a website in Canada which is as good as FXCM.com but not governed by US Rules.

I ‘m just starting forex trading and was wondering what tracking program would be best for me to begin to do Technical Analysis with

I have been using moving average convergence/divergence and moving average crossovers as trading signals for forex trading but the success rate has been quite low. Most of the times the trades end up meeting the stop-loss. Could someone please let me know the reasons and suggest some better strategies?

Baby pips teaches about FOREX, not hedge funds. I need a website with ‘lessons’ like this.
www.babypips.com/school
I completely understand that you don’t "trade" hedge funds, I used babypips.com as an example because I like the way the website explains things.

How do you trade on the forex market? What is it influenced by? How does one chose which broker is best? How was your experience with the forex market? Would it be okay to go for the huge 1:100 to 1:200 leverage ratio? I’m attracted to the forex market because of the liquidity, lack of insider trading, and the high leverage. Would you recommend any forex software to help me with analysis of the forex market? Which method of analysis should I use, technical or fundamental analysis? Thank You very much for your helpful replies to my questions.

What indicator can be used to confirm it with volume? That actually works well when used with volume Thanks

Hedge funds are an area that I really don’t know much about in terms of demographics.
I do understand that traditionally the "hedge" in hedge fund derived from pairs trading, but that since then many of them have deviated away from that.

1. Are there currently many hedge funds that specialize in technical trading?

2. Many that specialize specifically in futures trading? e.g. commodities, forex, etc

3. Any sites with statistics on the breakdowns?

thanks

Hi,

I am planning to partner with a friend to launch a Forex investment Offshore Hedge Fund.

I would like to read some books about previous successful FOREX Hedge Funds so I can get a better understanding of what our risks, limitations and expectations might be.

What are the top Hedge Funds trading Forex? Besides Soros, which I would call more like a Macro Fund vs our investment techniques that are going to be short-term.

Thanks

In theory, the benefit of speculators in the market is to provide liquidity for those who need to hedge for business purposes. My question is, in futures and forex, contracts are cash-settled and 99% of brokers forbid any physical delivery in both the spot Forex and Futures forex/commodity/index/etc futures. How is public speculation money being effectively used as the other side of the hedge trade if we aren’t trading the same contracts as the big boys?

Like with FXCM or any other Forex broker that says they are STP, when they credit your account 100,000QTY of EUR/USD if you went long 1 standard lot, are they really giving you 100,000 euro’s that another person (Be it a bank, company, government) needed to unload on the Interbank? That’s how these companies market, but I’m wondering if it’s a bunch of false advertising anymore.
okay so can you give me a view of the flowchart? i.e x > y > z

whos balance sheet changes?

Hi

Would like opinions from people that have experience trading in both.

My experience and training is primarily in equities.
Lately, i’ve met several people that claim to make consistent, large % returns from FX trading.

Which underlying is generally easier to trade?

With equities i have to consider the fundamentals and technicals of the index, the stock and a gazillion other things (e.g. commodity prices for the firm’s production costs, competitor analysis etc)

How’s it like trading FX?

thanks

Well I’m an immigrant from Russia. I moved here as a kid with my mom. Growing up ive been pretty alone. Im very independant for better or worse.. I dropped out of high school when i GPA went down from 3.4 to 2.7 even though i went to this placement and got straight A’s my GPA went down i said screw it. SO im starting community college and then transferring to a university. University of Illinois, Depaul, Miami University, and Syracuse happen to be my top choices. I have a mind for business/math. I’m not in anyway academically challenged. I can get straight A’s no problem if i just set my mind on it. The stock market is my passion. I think of myself as a George Soros type. I will transfer with a high GPA and phi tetta kappa honors society membership. When i transfer i will join business/trading clubs. I will network and land a trading position at some firm in NYC or Chicago. Then i will return and get my MFE at an ivy league school. Then I want to go on to hedge funds and eventually start my own and manage billions of dollarrs. This would be success for me. Its my dream that ive had for 5 years now. I want to be able to live and travel work for myself no answer to anyone. Financial freedom through something i love and do well …. now does that plan sound good? The ivy league part for my masters is so i can network and raise billions thats the key.. if i cant go to an ivy league ill be stuck in the millions, still that would be plenty.
I’d hate to be in investment banking or something similar. I’m more into risk/reward business. Venture capital an interest. Poker my hobby. Forex,Stocks,Futures, options trading is my main focus though.

btw im working at mcdonalds saving up money. I just turned 20 and dont even drive a car as i see it a financial blackhole with not profitable outcome. And ofcourse live with parents who are helping pay for community college but when i transfer i will be on my own…

deep inside all day everyday i feel that i will succeed… despite recent loses in poker and forex im still opptimistic. No matter what happens i will still believe. Im a very hard worker and ofcourse passionite about finance. I have a good chance right?

I want to open a long-term position trading on the Forex market, but A) the leverage will no doubt close my position on fluctuations and B) don’t all Forex positions have to be closed at the end of the trading week? I think, based on Technical Analysis speculations, that I see long term support and resistance lines, but if I hold on to a position, no matter how low the leverage (50 to 1 is usually the lowest any of the Forex trading platforms offer) then a long-term position is pretty much not an option, right? …or am I missing something?

How on Earth are Hedge Funds and Investment Banks able to borrow Yen from Japanese Banks? Do they establish direct lending connections with Japanese Banks? Or are they using the Future or Forex markets to somehow get their hands on Yen which they can sell for Dollars or other currencies and invest?
