I plan to trade the DOW predominantly and then expand to other indices trading very short time frames particularly the first and last hour of the day. I will only bet on downward movements the DOW using CFD's, if it goes down 100 points i will move my stop loss so that i cannot lose money and...

Thanks dlukic! By swing trader I mean trading over days. I could use advice on whether to trade Forex, stocks or commodities, which broker would be best for the one advised and being directed to some good started strategies that don't focus more on fundermentals would be fantastic ...it's so...

Thanks for the advice and I believe what you say but before trading I need a system that i've backtested and rules to follow and to do that I need to choose options or e-minis etc.

Probably right, initial over-analysis has stumped me, was hoping someone could point out which is most suitable.
