If you're new here, you may want check out the hottest Forex topic in 2008 - Autopilot Forex Trading. Thanks for visiting!
I really should get more educated before I decide if I would like to do this. Basically if you could give me a brief overview of currencty trading. Also, how much would I need to have in my forex account to actually make it worth the time and effort of trading and to be able to make any money? I’m a college student so a couple hundred bucks is probably all I could put in adn that’s even stretching it a little.
ANSWER: Currency trading is risky business, but you can make money with it. You just need to trade smart. Before you start trading, you should learn as much about forex as you can to prepare adequately. Many websites will advise you to trade with leverage to increase your profit. Leverage is ratio between lended capital and invested capital. For example if brokers offers you leverage of 100:1, it means that if you invest 0 you will be able to trade with .000. While leverage can bring you higher profits, you can also lose all your invested money very quickly. Most brokers have automated systems that can issue a stop order to some trades to protect their interests, so you can never lose more than what you invested, but it is also possible that some brokers don’t have these systems and in that case you can be responsible for losses that outweight your investment. That is why you should always read brokers margin agreement. My advise is that you ALWAYS trade with leverage 1:1 and NEVER trade beyond 10:1, no matter how good you become at trades. People who make money with forex never trade with more leverage than 10:1. Also as a beginner, you can use some trading platform like Metatrader 4 that offers demo account with virtual money. It allows you to try out forex trading without any risk and that way you can see whether you can make money on forex or not. Just remember greed is your enemy No.1. Also don’t expect high profits with forex. People who make money on forex are doing it slowly. If you expect a return of 200% within a week, or month, than forget it and try something else.)

How can one trade forex in a manner that least resembles gambling– over what period of time can one see some logic to a forex trade? Who are the main players that govern the price levels of currency and what effects do individual traders have? how do hedge funds trade currencies? Does technical analysis really work? The idea of of using tech analysis seems so silly–what is the theory behind it? Any additional information you may have, I’d really appreciate.
ANSWER: The currency pairs move in the direction of the trend, you anayze trends and it will help greatly, expecially the larger trends, short term moves within the trend are based on news items and parallel and inverse analysis.

I’ve opened an account on GFT, but when trading the news there is a huge slippage between the stop buy price I wanted & the execution price. GFT has a dealing desk.
So, what are the best forex brokers for trading the news ? Thank you !
ANSWER: For accurate and reliable market tips and daily updates Finexo is the best. Many of my friends suggested me this when i was a newbie in Forex trading. Since then my dealer is providing me with the most accurate tips, market updates and charts so that i can make optimum use of these. It has fetched me 99% of returns on my investment. Many other qualities like user friendly platform, easy forex glossary, well managed accounts, charts and economic calender have made Finexo unique.)

I trade forex on marketiva platform, and I am looking for a good trading manual system I could use to get more pips trading on marketiva mini forex account
ANSWER: First of all you must have good trading discipline. Without it you are destined to fail. And you’re right you need a good trading plan. Many successful traders have a very basic signalling system and with forex you get trade it either by fundamentals or by technical. A Trading plan using fundamentals would be using news and economic releases. A trading plan using technicals would use a charts. Start of using EMA’s. Try a MACD or RSI. But remember to keep it simple.)
