    Sid Wyemann and Forextrainingworks

    I have seen reviews of his course on business-opportunity-review.co.uk. I have not taken the course, so I cannot give my own perspective. However, as a result of what I read there, I gave his course a miss. Essentially, most who reviewed the course said that it was very good - some enough to...

    Risk/Reward Calculation

    OK, thanks Adam. There's a lot to think about - liquidity, time frame you're trading to name but two.

    US Broker Comission

    Firstrade I use Firstrade for my US trades... http://www.firstrade.com They charge $6.95 per trade for stocks, no minimums, 5 second execution time. I believe that the $25000 day account minimum is set by the NYSE and NASD, so there probably is not any way around it. -=N4J=-

    Horse racing has cost me a fortune!

    Been there, done that, both with football and horses. The short answer is 'no', I think. I have a colleague who was down nearly 30k (gbp) before he realised that it was a mugs game. He tried all sorts of systems. I tried a couple of systems before the basic facts sank in. The systems looked...
