Bummer. Thanks, Tommog.

Morning, I'm interested in trading the seasonal spreads on currencies; I'm not a futures trader, so can't get involved in the usual spreads of related contracts or close months. Does anyone out there have some ideas on how to go about trading seasonal spreads on the forex alone? Many thanks...

Thanks, chaps.

Does anyone know of any forex brokers who offer the Chinese Renmimbi as a trade? Wheaters

Thanks. Not being at all competent in the programming department, Metatrader was completely off my radar. I'll try them and Alpari, North Finance. Wheaters

Thanks a lot, Nine.

Dear Peeps, I am looking for decent, free FOREX charts. I get free charts from Oanda, but they're very basic. I occasionally find better charts, but they're always for a limited period. I know a lot of you are going to suggest that I pay a monthly subscription to get great charts, but I...

Thanks, Spanish89, I'll read that website over the weekend. Wheaters

Er, Nine, I must be being dumb as I see no articles. Where is 'here'? Wheaters.

Dear All, I've read a little about spread trading - going long one currency pair and short a closely correlated other pair, and closing one pair out and making money at it. Does anyone out there know of any strategies for this? Does anyone know of any good books on it? I've seen some books...

Damian, Thanks for your reply. At present, and for the foreseeable, I'll be simply learning the craft, perfecting the skills, slowly building up the equity and becoming a better trader. I'm not massively worried about blowing out two accounts simply because from what I read, it's quite normal...

Damian, All your points are valid. I'm a newbie who blew out two small accounts while learning and have spent the last 18 months demo-trading and trying to get back into trading proper using another small account. I'm simply trying to get better and be consistent. I originally moved over to...

A number of reasons, some if not all of which may be erroneous. Don't trust the big players not to bend the market to their benefit at my cost. Equities aren't strictly demand/supply situations - you get emotions moving the market to where it shouldn't go, and I feel forex won't do that as...

Does anyone have a solution? As far as I'm aware, all forex brokers are counter-parties to all forex trades. Not the case with equities, but I don't want to trade equities. If the broker is counter-party to all my trades, it's in his best interest to stitch me up, slowly, over the fullness of...
