Don't trade fundamentals, and sure as heck don't listen to analysts. They're all just randomly guessing, mostly after-the-fact "Oh it rallied because of [insert random reason here]." I could roll dice and get better results. Not convinced? Poor ...

Information Assimilation

Yes, but companies that are "located all over the world" have a legal headquarters somewhere. And a lot of insurance is restricted to deposits in a single nation. There is no "international insurance organization" for depositors or investors. The ...

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

I have yet to see a public robot that's profitable. There are some private ones, but obviously those aren't something you can just pick up. You'll have to develop your own.

Trading Robots what's your opinion on this?

If it's basing it's protection on EU depositor insurance, no, it doesn't. If it's a private insurance like thru Lloyds of London, then it might, but you should certainly check the terms of coverage before you expect anything. You also need to know ...

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Not a chance. Neither the FDIC, nor the SIPC, covers forex trading. Foreign banks may differ, I was speaking from a US perspective.

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Laff... "the secret is" ... there is no secret. Spend time studying, spend time w/ the charts, figure out something that works for you. Or not... up to you really. An attorney spends 2 years and countless hours before he/she can practice law in ...

The Road to Riches: Giving Up

Your equity just behaves as if everything is an AUD cross. If it was me I'd change the account to a USD or Euro based account, and only convert back for withdrawls. But yes, if you're planning to maintain AUD-based goals then you'll need to convert ...

Base currency account funding outside of the US

I highly doubt it. I know of no organization that insures forex trading the way depositor insurance does for banks. There was a thread on all this not long back... url

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Wow. Serious piece of equipment. Expensive too, $845? $995? Do you really need an integrated DNS? Either way, it'll do the job I'm sure. Decent support service too, mebbe they can help you set it up. Good luck!

Internet backup

Experienced traders often forget exactly how much they did not know when they got started. Start w/ demo, only progress to live trading when you've got a few profitable months under your belt. Isn't perfect, but if everyone did that far fewer ppl ...

Internet backup

The VPS, or virtual private server, is a machine that's hosted like a dedicated rack hosted machine, except it's split among several parties. Usually they have a UPS too, or some kind of backup. I have, however, seen a lot of oversold VPS systems. ...

Internet backup

Yes, you could setup a gateway system to manage failover and load balancing. An old friend of mine used to run one at home on a linux system. For a link or to learn more just google "Failover routers". Edit: I just found several by searching for ...

Internet backup

A good load balancing or failover router is not cheap. It's cheaper to build a machine w/ 2 network cards and set it up as a gateway, I'd imagine. My wireless router has 2 inputs, but I doubt very much that it can handle more than 1 active ISP. But ...

Internet backup

Get a dialup acct. You can get a cheap dialup for under $100 a year. And yes, if you have a router you can setup multiple ISPs at a time, but that's a pain in the butt and probably not worth the cost.

Internet backup

I've got a UPS for all of this. Power goes out, I've got 15 minutes or so before any problem. Phone, cable modem, 1 monitor and the case are plugged in. You can get one off newegg or somewhere similar for under $100. Worth the peace of mind. If ...

A scenario... what's your plan of action?

George Soros's book "Alchemy of Finance" is a good book on fundamental analysis. It's a bit dry in places, heady in others, but a worthwhile read if you need to grasp the fundamentals of currency valuation.

what is the best FA books?

Hehe, well some ECNs do have an approx volume. MT4 provides "tick volume" which is a rough approximation of volume based on the ticks that come thru. While it's technically based on broker data, since it's calculated on overall ticks from the feed ...

Notice the pins both reflect off a common support, too, giving it a hand from the multiple bottoms at support. Also notice that the other USD-based pairs have similar structures, meaning that this is a heavily USD-driven setup. Also notice that the ...

I think 10% per month is reasonable w/ active trading. I've heard tales of ppl regularly doing 30% per month, but I'm not convinced it's sustainable over time. Wasn't you. When ppl reach a certain point (at anything) it's important to develop an ego ...
