    I'd say start small... $5 to $10k max account...(someone said futures right? with forex you can go even smaller like $3k to $5k is enough for it to "feel like something" but not so much you can't recover from it) no point wasting money until you are good.. so if you lose it all, you can...

    Forex tax haven question

    who cares? who wants to live in such cramped conditions :D I was reading though if your from the UK (like cypriot easyjet guy) then you can live in monaco, and commute to london to work there 4 days a week... so I guess if you don't live in Monaco all the time, it wouldn't feel so cramped.

    Forex tax haven question

    I am a bit confused... doesn't the UK have any form of anti-avoidance rules? Wouldn't setting up an offshore company but still performing the trading itself from within the UK mean that the offshore company has no valid raison d'être except to avoid paying your annual taxes? Wouldn't trading...

    Some E-Mini newbie questions

    Why 99 contracts? Why not 100? watching the DOM I see 99 come up a lot... but not 100.. however I have seen much bigger also, so I'm wondering is there any advantage to doing 99 instead of 100? or are there just a lot of Gretzky fans out there? :D

    Some E-Mini newbie questions

    Hi, I am just looking into E-Mini's right now and have some questions, hopefully someone can answer. 1) Because E-Mini S&P, etc. are exchanged traded, I guess all brokers have the same liquidity? 2) Trying to understand margin... if a broker says Margin is $1600 for E-mini S&P 500, then with...

    3G or EDGE routers w/fail over

    Thank You! Now I'm trying to decide if I should buy this or the VG model which is VOIP also. Is VOIP hardware standard? Can I just hook it up to Vonage or any other VOIP provider (except skype) ? Is VOIP hardware quality better than skype?

    3G or EDGE routers w/fail over

    thanks for the info, really helps. But I'm still confused how 3G or EDGE can fit into this. I've never used them before. Are there 3G/EDGE modems that I can just plug into one of these routers the same way I'd plug in a DSL or Cable modem?

    3G or EDGE routers w/fail over

    Hi, I want to have a router which runs on my Cable but if that is down switches over seamlessly and immediately to my EDGE or 3G service. Would be even better if it had 2 WAN ports so I could plug in cable and DSL. I would like to know what my options are and especially if any major router...
