I haven't been on FXGears for over a year. :-[ This franc move today got me excited about fx trading again. Hope none of you guys got caught up in this!

Sir Steevus Maximus here...I also have no idea what the hell is going on...and its scary. On the bright side, made a 4% return trading RAD last week...should have stayed around the past couple days though for 10% more. The $70 gain justified my GTA5 purchase. :D

This looks beautiful.

How much do the long/shorts affect your decision making?

Thanks for the good info, Tansen. 1 year demo. Yikes!

Thanks, I was wondering what trading platform to use. My CPA girlfriend just saw me typing this and said she uses Oanda at work to get current exchange rates. Oanda makes money via the spreads, right?

US Citizen. If Forex trading doesn't work out, I'm thinking about learning how to make money trading options.

No EUR/USD trading for me...yet. I'm long GE, up 2% today. ;D I called Scottrade today and they told me they don't offer forex trading. :(

She must have been pretty amazing for you to make the trades and flight to see her. At least give us a 1-10 scale of what she looked like. ;) Do you have any pictures of the "tropical island" itself? The last nice island I went to was Tangalooma; that was 10 yrs ago :( I just finished reading...

I found this website via reddit; I've had this webpage open for at least a week now on my Chrome browser, but finally took the time to read around on the forums tonight. This concept of keeping a trading journal is exactly what I decided to do during last Christmas vacation. I created...

It's 1am and I should probably be asleep, but I couldn't stop reading all the threads on this forum. Great read, especially the girl part...sorry it didn't work out.
