thanks jeff, what broker do you use for scalping? I moreso want to buy stocks whilst the market is at a low for my longterm portfolio. so any suggestions for a stockbroker?

Also if I live in the UK (and national) does this eliminate the above?

HI I would like some input on choosing a broker. I can't decide between tradeking, scottrade and IB. Here is why I like each of them: Tradeking - 4.95 flat fee trades, nice learning centre (at the min I want to buy equities both UK and US but I want to learn options and they are meant to have a...

Hi Can anyone recommend an online broker for me. I want to trade primarily US and UK stocks, perhaps options in some time. I was considering tradeking as its pretty cheap flat fees and I like the learning section. Anyone use this? i read reviews where their research tools are bad. is this true...

Also, 6) if the broker account also allowed you to put money in a cash deposit to earn interest? does this exist?

hi, I need some help choosing an online broker. I intend to be mainly trading stocks and perhaps some ETFs. Mostly for the medium to long term. The following are important to me: 1) i live in the uk and want my uk company to hold the account. 2) I would appreciate if my main long term account...

hi Hi What is the system you are using? Also, anyone got any reasons why the USD is losing so much strength to the GBP...when will this end? To me, it seems very correlated to the general market as things are picking up with equities. Any thoughts?

cheers Hi Iceman1, thanks for getting back to me. the same principle you mentioned is why i am hesitant to invest in US stocks. Even if their value has dropped by 40-50%, a change in currency i.e. GBP strengthening against the dollar would impact my gains... In that respect company...

Hi, I have saved up some capital with which I want to invest primarily in equities some NYSE and some FTSE. Would it be a wise move to invest via a uk registered company. Does anyone know the benefits of this (tax or otherwise) or the downsides? Can anyone recommend a brokerage account that...

thanks thanks for the detailed response Stu. Will keep in touch.

thanks Thanks for the directions...the variables I changed in MetaEditor. Was that the right thing to do? So the idea of a pipstep is like dollar cost averaging...as it rebuys/resells if it made the wrong decision. Can be a bit dangerous if a trend changes for fundamental reasons... I have...

hi all, Cant believe I just read 36 pages...at least I am up to spead with some of your progress with the EA. To be honest I am quite new to forex trading. My TA skills have been mostly focused on equities over the past year and in the last month I moved into forex, simply scalping. At the...
