    It all depends on your style and sticking to the regulated brokers. You may want to demo a few accounts first. You may also want to consider getting paid to trade.

    including trading futures, forex and options

    You are engaging in wishful thinking. Try to do it and you will most likely lose money.

    Where can I find a Multi-Monitor Computer, and Multi-Screen Quad LCD Display (for Day Trading) for less than $3,500?

    I found one company, but their prices were ridiculous!

    I trade Stocks and Forex, On-line, and I want to know where to get one of those Multiple Monitor Computers, like I always see in the infomercials. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
    I'm not interesting in adding extra video cards, and all that complicated stuff. I just want a multi-monitor ready computer, so I can start trading.

    The absolute best place is:

    http://www.Multi-Monitors.com

    I compared prices, when I purchased my 6 LCD Mega System, and they were way lower, than the other companies I found! They have a brand of Multiple Monitor Computers called SUPER PC, and mine is a lifesaver. I trade using Wizetrade Software, so it makes things a lot easier. I also like to watch movies, while I work, on the other screens! YAY!

    At Multi-Monitors.com, I know They have:

    Multi-Monitor Computers
    Multi-Screen LCD Displays
    Multi-Monitor LCD Stands
    Multiple Monitor Adapters

    Hope that helps you out bro!

    … ot Wave Theory, etc.)? What timelines do you trade on (are you a day trader, or long term trader)? What kind of analysis do you find better; technical or fundamental? What are your thoughts about a trading platform/site that uses a pip spread vs. one with a set fee comission? Have you ever taken a course, or are you familiar with any good ones (no solicitors please!)? Etc., etc., etc.

    I just want some insight into what successful traders are doing.

    Thanks!

    I normally use both fundamentals and technical indicators.

    However lately I see a lot of the new software programs that can generate signals for you even on autopilot.

    I was very skeptical initially but I have tested 3 of them and I am very impressed. Would be really useful for new comers. Even if you know nothing of fundamentals or technical indicators you can still trade.

    Forex trading has really become much easier than what we had to go through in the old days.

    I'm going to check out some books from the library, but could any knowledgable investors shed some light? I don't mean to be lazy but I have a lot of my mind + by helping one person it helps everybody. (Atleast those intested in trading.)

    The name of the game in Forex is Capital Preservation. Let's say that on Friday, you bought the Dollar against the Yen (USDJPY) in a standart $100k lot on 1% margin – that's an investment of $1000 from your account. Here's a chart: http://forex.tradingcharts.com/charts/index.php?sym=USDJPY&data=b&tz=GMT&type=b&cs=1&period=1h&defdates=1&bmonth=Mar&bday=9&byear=2007&bhour=13&bmin=25&emonth=Mar&eday=9&eyear=2007&ehour=13&emin=&Img+Type=png&drsi=0&ma1=0&dmacd=0&ma2=0&bol=0&dstoch=0&Submit=Submit
    At 8:30am (EST) the US Unemployment numbers came out and the dollar rose to 118.2 Yen from 117.4 in less than 1 minute. It's likely that price gapped and even if you had a stop in place, the best available price may have been well above your stop price. Let's say your stop was executed halfway through the rise – 118.6 Yen. That 0.4 Yen rise would have given you a loss of roughly $340 – over one third of your investment.

    If you limited your trade to 3%, that would have been a 1% loss of your entire account. If you had traded 30% of your account, you would have lost 10% of your entire account in that one trade.

    It's great if you had bet on the dollar going up but not so good if you bet on the dollar going down. People that bet big trying to strike it rich invariable wipe out their account quickly. The idea is to survive a bad day to be able to come back and try again the next.

    There are so many ways to invest your money in America. There's forex, real estate, stocks, mutual funds, 401k, etc. What is the best way to learn about all of these different types of investment (other than majoring in the financial field)?

    I am an amateur investor so my advice might not be the best (but then again, it didn't cost you much, did it?); however, I am in a similar situation as yourself. I began reading investment articles and books a couple of months ago. I have learned a couple of things that seem to be particularly important, primarily diversification. I learned a bit about how bonds and stocks work and what to look for. I also have learned a bit about mutual funds. My advice is this. Read about the investments that you wish to work with. Once you have read a little bit, get a little experience by doing some investing. I currently have 3 types of investments. 1) US Savings bonds. They don't pay very well but inflation and taxes seem to be the only way they loose value. 2) Stocks. I really dislike the fees that most brokers charge. I don't have a lot of $$$ to invest so $4-$15 a trade doesn't help much. I found a broker (Zecco) that offers 10 free trades a month. That way I can by 2 shares of Delta Airline stock (currently worth a whopping $5.42/ share) without having a 50% loss just because of the trading fee. I do have to have $2500 in the account to get the free trades. I leave that in a money market fund so it gets a little bit better interest. Here is a link to that company http://friends.zecco.com/r/2c6fc54e8400102b8555

    3) Peer to peer loans. You might think that these are risky. Well, all investments have some risk. I currently have 4 loans for $50 each out to individuals. I have not once received a late payment. My average return is about 14%. I establish these loans through Prosper. Here is a link to that website. http://www.prosper.com/join/lawndude16

    Feel free to e-mail me with questions. Good luck.

    Hi,

    I currently work as a corporate financial analyst (budgets, forecasts, etc…), but this is not the career path I would like to take.

    The investment side of finance always interested me more, and currently I'm thinking of taking my level 1 CFA.

    Since I never worked an investment job before; can somebody explain to me what a day in the life of a buy-side (equity) analyst consits of? I guess from the moment I get there until it's time to go home? Responsibilities?

    Or any other investment type job if you are not a buy-side analyst? (hedge fund, forex, fixed income analyts, investor relations, etc…)

    I always liked analyzing the market so I think being a buy-side (equity) analyst is more my style, but I guess it would be nice to see what other investment jobs have to offer as well.

    Thank you!!

    Goldman Sachs has some info on this.

    Please kindly advice ? Any formulation or indicator ?

    If you have to ask this question, I sincerely advise you not to trade forex online. There is NO way to make 100% profit, and even experienced traders lose money on some trades. There is no single formula or indicator, and if anyone claims there is, why should they give it to you? Please beware of all these scam artists who claim to make huge profits by trading forex. The truth is, over 90% people lose money. Only the professionals can make money in this kind of risky trading.
