Obviously I'm the d00fus Thanks! I'll do my homework - it just seemed like a good idea at the time...

Thanks! I had a feeling that it wasn't rocket science - thanks for clarifying the margin thingy for me! Actually I've been reading up a bit and it struck me that the 1:400 "easy profit - 200 pips a day guaranteed"-leverage might (with a bit of half-a**ed money management) just as well mean a...

The Bikini is sort of 90-ish... Like the car (and the accessory) though... Futures Magazine - link perhaps? In my neck of the woods it's not commonly available - and I've given up hope on looking for online ref's... Br, /A [QOTE=-oo0(GoldTrader)] Futures Magazine had an article last month...

One question - two angles: 1) Are there any brokers that can supply low leverage, like 1:2-1:5? 2) (since I've yet to find an answer to #1) What is the formula/principle (no Nobel price/MENSA here...) to downscale 1:10 leverage to, say 1:3 leverage. Provided it's possible?

Thanks SAINT! Given that it is impossible (at least I've been unsuccessful so far) to find "proper" spreads charts on spot forex I've been looking at comparative overlays and then at candle charts, in order to find the most probable entry on my long position. So far the test drive I've done...

Thanks everyone! your posts has verified my suspicions - I'll put the cash in the trading account instead... And Pat494 - the Swedish Bikini Team just migrated into the Swedish Trading Team. I'm long they're going to be a big hit in the LIFFE pit... If you want dibs I can arrange futures...

Hi all, I've been trying to get capital and guts up to get into trading for a while and as most of you know that takes (provided that you're diligent enough) having to go through everything from "Rem's of a stock trader" to every post ever made on T2W... As well as being tempted by all the...

Hi everyone, At the risk of actually sounding like the utter n00b that I am - what is the general stand on FX spot correlations when doing spreads trading? I'm really been trying to wrap my head around this, ever since I read the post from some weeks ago on FX spots where the poster was doing a...

Damian - thanks for the input! I've no intentions in becoming/belief in excess program trading - one of our prospect clients was Amaranth... My goal is to paper trade until I've gotten a decent grip of how and why markets act - BUT - in order to get there I need something to give me a...

As I'm dipping my toe - what is the most cost efficient software for me based on: 1) I intend to trade all markets, in one way or the other i.e. I need a decent charting SW 2) I might be a total failure as a trader, i.e. I'm not inclined to cash up all that heavy initially 3) I do have a day...

For the moment I'm papertrading spreadbets all over the place, trying to get a grip on where the action is, at what time and how. Logically I'd be trading the Nordic list, as this is where my brokers are, but since I'm in the "trainee" stage I'd might as well do the "do as water"-thing... /A

Hi everyone! (posted here since I didn't find an intro thread) New trader wannabe here, looking for insight, advice and the inevitable scorn... I've just recently dug up my interest for the markets after a long period of "getting things wrong" (like buying Ericsson in -99 - and holding...) so...
