    just wanted to do some trading and was given a site forex.com but i am unsure whether they are real or a scam
    i know that myself i am talking about the site FOREX.COM
    OK ALL YOU PEOPLE WITH THIS PROJECT PAY DAY CRAP CUT IT OUT BECAUSE ITS ALL FULL OF CRAP END OFF

    I have been trading for many years and personally would recommend you get the independent views of actual traders rather than read web reviews (which are most likely adverts for brokers anyway!)
    It would be a useful exercise to go to one of the trading forums on the website: http://www.forexfactory.com/ and see what real traders say about various brokers.
    From myself to you I can also give you a little Forex tool which I designed myself and is free of course and very useful. Please download your free Forex Toolbar here: http://www.its-cool.co.uk/

    Finally, I wish you great success with you trading.

    I want to know is it good for beginners. is it good? I am a new to forex and want to hear from anyone who is doing it . I read the reviews of a few auto trading bots like fapturbo and newsprofiteer, but I am still not sure. I have heard only good things about it but then that's to be expected from reviews

    news profiteer is better if you are going to do trades on your own, and fap turbo is better when you are going to trade automatic.

    newsprofiteer is a forex software which helps one to time their trades based on market cycles and news which affect the whole economy.

    i use both and i must say, i find both of them equally important,

    it really depends on you and your trader most importantly since high spreads = high losses. – low spreads = high profits

    Forex Focus by Darrell Jobman

    Stocks & Commodities V. 24:9 (14-16): Forex Focus by Darrell Jobman Access to foreign exchange trading has opened up exciting trading options for the retail trader. You can now trade alongside corporations and institutions in a highly liquid market that is global, traded around the clock, and highly leveraged. Before jumping into this market, however, we must understand the factors that affect the forex market. With that in mind, STOCKS & COMMODITIES has introduced Forex Focus to better prepare the retail trader to participate in the currency market. Euro Sparkling, But Faces Long-Term Challenges Heres an overview of the Eurozone. With a lack of confidence in the US dollar and central bank diversification away from the US currency, the euro is in position to make further gains over the next few months, to at least 1.30 against the dollar. The Eurozone area, however, faces tough decisions on economic reform, and government weaknesses in the major economies will make it even more difficult to secure approval for key measures such as labor market reforms. Without reform, Eurozone growth is likely to falter quickly in the face of higher interest rates, with the European Central Bank (ECB) taking a firm stance that realistically could normalize interest rates to at least the 3% level by year-end. Eurozone growth and prospects for the euro will be particularly vulnerable if there is a downturn in global growth. In these circumstances, there would be pressure for a renewed cut in interest rates and action to curb euro strength. There will also be longer-term concerns over the balance of payments position and, at the extreme, fears that Italy could leave the euro arena. Euro gains, therefore, could prove to be fragile and temporary, with confidence faltering from late 2005.

    As far as functionality and easy of use.

    I think sogotrade is best among all online brokerages. You can get a lot of free trades: about 100 free trades with 500 minimum deposits. It has very good customer services, it also has live help, and you can chat with representatives about any question. After that, only 3 dollar for each trade, pretty sweet when compared with other online brokerages.
