    Guy’s

    Let’s face it……people in the Forex industry aren’t always honest. Heck… I know I’ve been duped a few times by silver-tongued charlatans…

    …and I’m sure you have too.

    And I always asked myself… how did they get past me? I mean… I consider myself a reasonably intelligent guy…

    …but I still fell for their BS time and time again. But you know what?

    I don’t have to worry about that happening every again… and soon… neither will you.

    Why?

    Because trading veteran Bob Iaccino from CNN News has blown the lid off the subtle scams these modern-day snake-oil salesmen use to trap honest traders like you and me.

    On that page, you’ll see:

    - Why Bob’s exposing the lies of the Forex gurus

    - The three big red flags you MUST look for to avoid getting scammed

    - How Bob’s students make a killing from the market

    I am new in this feild, which is best time to invest in this.where I will get Demo account,Minimum amount required to invest in the real Forex market? I just have Rs.2000,which book I should refere from net,Please guide me.

    Playing Forex can appear alluring, but the majority of people who try it lose money. All you have to do is do a web search on the words "Forex" and "lose" to see this is the consensus.

    Forex is similar to what we call a "zero sum" game. You are making a bet with someone else about whether a currency will rise or fall. For every winner there has to be a loser. The net winnings of everyone combined equals zero. If you are smarter than the average player, you may make money. If you are dumber than the average player, you are likely to lose money. Most of the people making the "bets" in Forex are highly trained professionals at banks and other institutions. You are unlikely to beat them at this game.

    Actually Forex is not quite a zero sum game. It’s a slightly negative sum game as the Forex broker takes a small percentage each time in the spread. It’s a small amount but over a hundred trades, it ends up being a considerable amount of money. So the average player is likely to lose money, and remember the average player is a highly trained professional and probably smarter than you.

    There is a lot of luck in Forex, and if you play it, you will have some periods of time where you make money. This is usually because you are having a lucky streak, not because you have suddenly become an expert Forex player. However, most people are unwilling to admit their success is due to luck. They become convinced they have a system that works, and lose a lot of money trying to refine it.

    Further complicating the problem is the large number of Forex scams on the internet. Most Forex websites are of questionable honesty. You will find many people on the Internet that claim they made a lot of money using Forex. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: "Go to Forexcrap,com/q2347." The "q2347" is a signal to the Forexcrap site that you are being referred to them by "q2347." If they sell something to you, "q2347" gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. Also there are a good number of trolls out there that like to pretend they are successful forex traders just for the fun of it.

    I would recommend not trying to do Forex at all, unless you are a trained professional. It’s like playing poker with people better than you, with the house constantly taking a small percentage from the pot.

    Today there are lot of online forex trading platforms. Will you tell me which online is best online forex trading platform ?

    Metatrader 4 is great and it’s 100% free. The only one that’s even better is Esignal, but it costs at least $150 a month, so if you want my opinion go with MT4.

    Who trades FOREX here?

    Could you please help me make a small statistics about the market? (Not able to find any firm statistics on the web though).

    1. What is your capital?
    2. How many lots or how much per day do you trade? (micro, mini or standard)
    3. What is your daily limit? (trades, profit, pips, etc)
    4. What leverage makes you feel safe? (50:1, 100:1, 200:1, etc)
    5. Do you like fixed or variable spread?
    6. Do you prefer market execution or instant execution?
    7. Is scalping always profitable to you, what do you think?

    Appreciated a lot, thank you.

    This Seems very similar to another question I already answered so Here is a Quote of it:
    "Hey,
    Just want to start out with I’m no pro but I’ll give my 2 cents and help you on with more resources.

    1. the great thing about forex market is that you can start small. Some start from 5000-10000 but many start with 250 and that’s all fine. If you’re new to the trade you likely want to start small and use minilots until you get the hang of things as there can be learning curves that can result in some unpleasing experience but it helps build your knowledge and wisdom.
    2. Most people likely trade with standard however yet there are many who prefer to trade with minilots. Personally if I were new to a certain currency pair, minilots or micro lots would be my choice, if I were more familar with a specific currency then more onto standard might be my choice but yet sometimes I’d still like to trade mini depending on the trend and past results
    3. That really varies from each trader however it would likely be contigency on their capital and lots traded
    4. I’m one that takes things very save so I generally prefer 50:1 but that’s a personal preference sometimes I move 100:1"

    So…do you think it’s a good business if a website acts as a forex broker that matches orders between its customers? Something like an ECN or a DMA broker…but without offering the orders on some intranet of other banks, hedge funds – but just its own customers? Like…on the fictional website "exforex.com" :) someone wants to buy 100,000 eur with usd and another customer wants to sell 100,000 eur. The website makes money of the spread – which here can be just one pip fixed. Because there are no middlemen and middlemen of middlemen and middlemen of middlemen of middlemen…etc. I guess this could be a very profitable idea…but there’s one problem. In order for such orders to be matched, one will need say 100,000 customers or more. So if I start such website, I don’t see how I will get thousands of customers so that the orders are easily matched, or at least some serious % of them. Even big stock exchanges like ASX have problems with liquidity, let alone a new website. I guess if I had one million in my bank account it would be much easier, but I can start such website with as low as just $50-$70k of my own money which won’t be enough even for leverage. Would you use such a broker anyway?

    10x and happy new year!

    In my personal opinion it would be fairly difficult to coordinate and set up in the first place but it seems interesting. Not too sure if it’ll work though because how do you get the word out there and is it even plausible in the first place?

    Hello all, I have some cash to invest.For stocks, do any of you know an online trading platform that I can deposit with a credit card? (I have the cash but want to use the credit card to get points) I know some Forex Trading lets me do this.

    Also what is your favorite online brokerage to use? I currently have Scottrade but am dissatisfied with the length it takes a transaction "close" After I buy and sell a stock , I have to wait almost 48 hours for the transaction to "clear before I can use that cash again

    thanks

    FINRA registered brokerage firms are not allowed to accept credit cards for deposits. It’s part of the anti-money laundering regulations.

    Your issues with Scottrade aren’t specific to them. That’s how cash transactions settle per the SEC. To avoid this delay, establish a margin account and you can use the proceed of the sale right away.

    As far as trading stocks and Forex in the same account, Zecco is the only brokerage I know of that allows you to trade both.

    Easiest?????????? You pick two of the most difficult arenas to trade in (successfully) and you ask which one is easiest?

    If pushed to the wall I’d have to say Option trading is easier than Forex trading (although it may take a year or so longer to learn). Forex is easier to make money at because your capital outlay can be smaller. The cost of trading both is high. Trading options is cheaper.

    What ever way you look at this… it can easily take 3-5 years to learn how to trade,profitably (consistently).
