I want to start doing Forex. Any of you guys at FXCM brokers?

I use their services. For trading flexibility open the account through their UK office. US has too much restrictions (harsh & ambigious regulation) on fx trading since 2010.

Are you an fx newbie? If so, this is a high risk, high volatility venture and it's not a walk in the park in this high stakes casino. Only invest what you can afford to lose. If you cant stand losing $2000 in a short span, this is not your game. It takes a while to learn the ropes & produce consistent results.


Hi Hisah,

What do you need to open? (what documents & what is the least amount). I am a newbie but l did give try out their trading software and was happy with the platform and my trading results.

Each broker has their own requirements as per the markets regulator in whichever country the operate.

E.g. for FXCM UK, you can check here after you select your country of residence - http://www.fxcm.co.uk/open-forex-account.jsp

Wow! Waking up to see FOMC minutes smashed the markets. Commodos have taken it in the chin so hard as $ index reclaims the 81 handle. Weeklies now point to additional $ strength.

Next week will confirm if the equity markets will selloff strongly as VIX spike today gets things moving.

GBPUSD has cratered badly on twin issues - dovish BoE on UK econ & the latest FOMC minutes. It has broken a 4yr support line @1.5280! GBP pairs are definitely lined up for shorts for weeks.

Gold testing support @1550 -1555 and on a 6 day losing spree...

@ceinz - something to note. There's an options expiration on this 25th for both silver & gold. Also noticed a huge volume spike on silver as it nosedived yesterday. This vol is similar to when capitulation happened @25 after a 50% selloff. Yesterday's capitulation must have fried a lot of silver turkeys.

I think the bottom is being marked. Coincidental that gold also tests 1555. Apr contracts are telling a diff story. Let's see if March marks the reversal then back to the all time highs.

I have a sneaky feeling another MF Global is happening in the commodo market. The market nosedive feels like a raid. Soros too said he was out of gold just before the current nosedive. Too coincidental all this.

By year end this selloff have reversed...

Noted. The bottom levels mentioned earlier 1550 & 27, gold, silver respectively are nigh. By next week's end we should see signs of recovery in these two.

Moody's has just downgraded UK debt rating. After hours GBPUSD has spiked down around 75 pips, which means on Monday GBP crosses will open with gap downs. Those that rolled over GBP longs this weekend will be hammered.

Is this the news that will mark the markets top like what happened in Aug 2011 after the US debt rating downgrade?

Now that I jumped the Yen shorting ship, I can see another ship waiting for the ride. And no, it's not GBP even with the UK rating downgrade. This ship is called CAD. It is definitely headed into a storm of rough water as per the fx volume weather forecast.

$=1.0250 was successfully tested on yesterday. The launch is getting ready.

Next we wait for AUD. Just like back when AUD = $1.10 the same behaviour has flagged the alert on. Just waiting for the storm to land.

CAD, AUD continue to flash red. JPY excessive selling extreme means the current sharp reversal. Global stocks rolling over. VIX poised for sharp rally as complacency became extreme.

The fight is about to begin...

Biggest Gold ETP Holdings Fall in Longest Decline on Record - http://www.bloomberg.com...-decline-on-record.html

Very good news. Another gold buy signal as capitulation fries turkeys.

Was hammered by that downgrade proper. Had a pending buy that was triggered and closed at the same time, and SL was not even obeyed.
