Basically I Just got out of the military & I am off until January when I start my new job & school.

We have money saved up for living & such. I have set aside about 800-1000 & opened an account with forex.com

Basically I hear all of these strategies about once a day trading or scalping, I am brand new to this.

Couple questions.

I have all day to trade, What can I do to maximize my profit, I can literally work any time of the day all day until Xmas.
I enjoy the idea & practice of scalping, Just not sure exactly what I am looking for to make split second decisions.

I read the strategies & such on here but is there an in-depth guide to actually explain everything?

& as mentioned, I use forex.com for trading.

Hai

1. I am a aggresive investor seeking to invest my money for higher returns. I know hedge funds gives you the best return in short time, other may be S&P and Real Estate (maybe i dont know), what i am searching is theoritically hedge funds give you the best high return or not is there any more big investment (other then starting your own private business)

2. Hedge Funds have the best of the managers found in any industry, they have all big strategies, they invest in stock, S&P, forex, this, that, all, now my question is should i should i invest indivdually in all the markets or search for the best legitimate hedge funds on earth?

I am 21 yearz old, planning to make a fortune out of 50,000 USD (my father gave me for business), he said now smart investments can double, triple… your money, its your brain now which should start to work

Please give me the best of advice avaliable, i would love to hear from experts and managers

I am 40 years old. I invested in forex market over metatrader platform. there i found that there is a dealing desk. So I shifted to stocks. traded and averaged a lot and got profit at the end. Now I am tired of averaging. I want to enter into options. I have read a lot of options but still not able to understand it properly. I seek help. I downloaded options oracle software. but it does not simulate or guide us in any way. just select strategy and it will pop up the show. There are plenty of options traders who surefire earn atleast 2% a single trade. I need the same surefire way. Can anybody help how it can be done. I can invest 25000 INR at present to start with. once I gained confidence I will invest more. I understand it requires patience and a ability to accept failures. I am willing for it, but at last there should be profit. Can anybody advise how it can be achieved ?

Ever since I was in middle school Ive known that I wanted to make my living trading stocks. I’m getting tired of paper trading, Ive developed a strategy that is a winner but I need day trading privileges to put it into execution. Ive always viewed the money markets (stock market, forex) as the best wealth generators available. But I wasn’t born into alot of money and have no rich friends or family, so its extremely difficult for me to come across the ,000 I need to start trading stocks with day trading privileges.

So what I need help with is ways to raise the capital. I made some mistakes earlier in life so I don’t have a good credit rating and Im not a home owner. The most frustrating part of it all is knowing that I have the ability to do something great but I lack the resources. so please pour in the suggestions. Email me if you have any further questions bjulyjayjr@yahoo.com thanks in advance

I would appreciate if you could share your own personal experiences with me.I am thinking of setting a forum for Forex traders to discuss and share their trading experiences with each other.If you are interested, please let me know so that i can include you in the forum.

Banks offer about 5.0 percent return annually. Average Mutual Funds about 15 percent return annually. Bonds offer 4.8 percent return. Hedge Funds can yield over 30 percent return with insane risk and luck. All these numbers are wonderful, but is it that difficult or impossible to outperform all of these things, which are presumed to be nice investment tools (excluding hedge funds).

Anyone heard of foreign exchange or Forex? It allows you to play with margins of 1:1 up to 400:1, meaning for everyone dollar you put in there, they are willing to back that up with 400x of that amount. Nobody who trades with 400:1 really gets that far, because of the insane downside risk. However, trading with 50:1 have got me really far.

Over the past 5 months, I have made consistent gains of Approximately 8 percent a week as a position daytrader. I follow a guided strategy.

Based on this, if I invest 00 over 104 wks, I have:
2500 x 1.08^104
I will have ,481,877.

Unrealistic? Impossible? 5 months
Chinese sell-off. The only week that dented my account by 5 percent. That is as much of a DD as I allow. Whenever I lose 5 percent due to fundamentals. I wait out the fundamentals before I enter the market again. Only scenario where my strategy fail is breaking news and breakouts. I don’t have to trade breakouts but sometimes I do if I know how it’ll go.

I do plan to accept clients, but not through Y! Answers. I won’t be accepting clients til 2008, since I need 1 year to prove my strategy. Anyways, based on my analysis, I make good money in an uptrend, less money in a downtrend, and tons of money in a trading range.

Hi all,

In a week I’ll be interviewed by a national magazine on the subject of day trading forex. I know I want to be well prepared and already have some background information on the subject (info I don’t know yet & fun facts).

I want to make sure I’m not going to give away secrets or things I’ll regret afterwards (strategy or how much money I make exactly etc).

How do I set boundaries in advance? How do I prepare for this? Other advice?

The interviewer will come to my house.

Thank you

How many brokerage firms are there in India that offer forex trading services? Reliance Money is the only company I know that runs forex business (as well as other financial businesses) in this area, and I was wondering if there are any other firms that operate in the Indian forex market besides it. If so, are they local? Are other foreign forex trading firms, most of which are based in the United States, planning to prop open the Indian forex market? It seems that they have vast interests in forex markets in Asia, including India, South Korea, and China, but are they able to operate forex businesses in India despite the strong regulations set by RBI? I have tried to form a conjecture regarding the market strategies of foreign forex trading firms on my own, but I’d like to hear what other people here think as well.

I want to convert some of my money (American dollar) to the Austrailian dollar. The goal is to keep it in a savings account after it is converted, and not touch it for a few years. I just want to diversify in case the USD goes down. Now what is the easiest/best way to go about this. I looked at Forex accounts, but they dont give any mention of this strategy. They just push trading. I wouldnt mind going to a bank, but I know nothing about if they would allow me to keep a foreign currency in a savings account. Not sure what I should do. Thanks for any help.
how do I go about opening up a foreign bank account? If thats what this is going to take…

seriously, the best traders make about 15% return a year,
while some people make the same return on a 3 hours tennis match betting on the favorite (federer)!!

besides, you pay no taxes on betting winnings and you really understand what you’re putting your money into, and the crowd expectations have no effect on the outcome (contrarily to the stock market where a rumor can make you lose money)

My question: why many people still invest on stock markets? how much do they really make? and do their return outweigh the brokerage fees???

n.b: while arbitrage opportunities on stock are almost inexistent (may last for a few seconds), they may occur on sports betting once in a while!!

thanks for your professional answers,

n.b: i have a great knowledge about options trading strategies and forex markets, so feel free to go technical!
by the way , I’m from France and lately, sports betting has become legal and there is no taxation on your gains!

I am building a spreadsheet to backtest Forex trading strategies.

I want to be able to find the difference between the circled values. Ideally to put the value in cell L93.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4206/yahooal4.jpg

The only hard part is that there is not always 3 rows between each number to be used. Sometimes there may only be 1 row, or there may be 10 rows.
Is there a way for excel to fetch values between two of the same number? Like between 0′s?
I am asking b/c I need to do this hundreds or maybe thousands of times. I can find the difference between the sums of each of the two columns easily, but I want to be able to do this also.

Thanks

Hi everybody, I have been working and studying Forex for more than 5 years and have good strategy for gaining profits. But I don’t have money to start. Is there anybody interested in investing small amount of money . I will give it back within one month with at least 20% benefits. Even you don’t need to give me the money. Just open an account with a broker and I will manage the account and at the end of the month you will give me my share.

For instance: 200:1 would this mean I pay say 300 dollars in good faith to play with 3,000? Let’s say that 3,000 makes money wouldn’t I just have to pay the money back anyway? Therefor left with a 1:1 ratio? I know it seems like a stupid question but I’m very new to investing and trading and I don’t see any value in leveraging can anyone help me to see the gold behind this strategy?
Does anyone use FXCM trading station II? I used that for my practice account, are there better ones out there

I need someone to help me program an auto trading strategy for use according to ACTFX programing, consisting of the hammer, hangman candlestick patterns, they have one on the site but I want one which open a buy/sell position only after a confirming candle next to the hammer/hangman pattern.

Or if you know how I can edit the existing strategy , that would help too

Thank you very much in advance

my problem is I can’t use any of these free demos online.

I’m not an idiot but I can’t understand them. I don’t know if I’m making money or if I’m losing money. It is getting very frustrating because I want to start learning ASAP, but most the online resources are crap. I prefer taking classes, and I haven’t even found 1 in all of toronto. Everytime I try to search on google all these sites come with a bunch of scam artists trying to sell their program or online classes about how to make money. I don’t want to learn how to make money, I want to learn how to use the freakin platforms, I’ll come up with my own strategy.

Btw I’m already pretty good with stocks, it’s just that the market is horrible right now, and you need a bigger initial investment in stocks to make any decent money

I have tried many automatic robots and none of them did make any profit, only losses.
How can robot know which way the market is going to move???
Traders, please do not be naive and save your money.
All robot developers claim that their robot is the best in the world and that it made a lot of money for them. Oh yes the robot developers made a lot of money by selling the useless robots. They are just a rip-of.
Example is Forexrobottrader from Steinitz – do not buy it, you will achieve only total losses, it is just a rip-of.
Brokers are the same rip-of.
Do not deal with IGindex or IGmarkets. They trade against you and set their own rules. If you create your own strategy and you start making money they will do everything possible and make sure that you loose. They told us strait in our face that they do not want us to win.
They are just a bunch of bloodsuckers.
Wake up.
Save your money.
You have more chances of winning Lotto than by trading.
Take my advice.
You have been warned.
Ex trader

I’m currently in the process of selecting the right broker, and I’ve heard that ECN (or non-dealing table) brokers are the ones who will not try to sabotage your trades, as it would not be in their interest to do so.

But how easy/difficult is it to actually start out with the broker? Do you simply register on their website, or do you have to actually speak with them on the phone?

Aside from the minimum deposit, are there any other requirements? What I mean is, do you have to meet certain requirements in order to work with a broker, or is it simple to sign up with one?

It is my understanding that choosing the right broker is the second most important step in succeeding in this market, next to having an effective and proven trade strategy/plan.

I’ll be attending a dealing simulation session later and I’d like to know what are the ways of negotiating and making deals.

There will be two groups – banks and corporations. Students will be switching roles later, so what kind of strategy will you employ to earn as much as possible?

Currently a university student in Australia, majoring in Economics and Finance. This semester, I am doing a finance course where I am expected to go to a dealing room and start trading – dealing simulation. So, there will be two groups where companies will be quoting from banks (companies and banks).

I’m out of ideas as to how I should trade and be the best in the dealing room, in terms of strategy. Any ideas? Five stars for best answer. Thanks!
