This thread has the potential to become a giant self-promotional cluster. Obviously I will leave my own company off of this list... :) So just off the top of my head the more popular brokers are (in no particular order): FXCM, Oanda, IBFX, GCAP (Forex.com), FXDD and Interactive Brokers I'm...

Hide your picnic baskets :online2lo

Apologies, I too (newbie) have difficulty uploading graphics/videos to the forum. I'll get there one day :) The pair failed to break through the 1.3200 number during the Asian session last night. You will find some resistance on the M1, M15 and M30 levels. I tend to agree with you that...

USD historically performs well in January. Resistance is firm at 1.3200. Target support at about 1.3000 for the short term. These views are purely my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of ThinkForex LTD

LOL - how do you embed Youtube videos? I know...newbie question. Edit: I somehow figured it out, but have no idea how.

It's Friday folks (Quad Yeah) and thought I'd post a video that always makes me laugh. Sometimes when a trade goes well I find myself talking to my computer screen like Tony G in this video:

This is true. There are no guarantees. As to the legality of copying successful traders; there is nothing illegal about it. It may be "illegal" from a corporate standpoint if the bank or brokerage has a policy in place about activity such as this, but it is not against the law.

1 month is such a short time in this game. Learn as much as you can about trading, read up on money management and study your craft. With good months like these, there will be bad months. The good traders are in it for the long haul.

NGBF? It doesn't mean you lost your share, it just won't be trading on the Nasdaq exchange. OTC markets trade over $600 million per day. OTCQB Market Tier must be SEC or Bank reporting.

Thought this was a great article. I know it's older but I thought I'd post to bump this up to the top of the forums so some of the newbies to the forum (such as myself) could take a look. This not only helps in your trading but can be applied to all aspects of life. Thanks Brett!

I'm sure many of you Canucks are aware of this group, but for those who aren't, Vancouver hosts one of the largest Meetups for forex trading: http://www.meetup.com/forextraders/ They meet at least once a month and usually get a good turnout.

So true...it is like everyone playing poker with the exact same strategy. If there is no variance and everyone is doing the same thing, the house is the only one that wins.

LOL - this has the potential to become an extremely philosophical thread. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

To answer the question, checking trades a lot is often a newbie concept. The good traders take the emotion out of it. My suggestion is to check out some money management articles that offer basic advice so you know what to look out for when emotion comes into play. I think all of us at some...
