I have start trading live account with Oanda 2 months ago. I am really worried about my account since its valued in USD.. as u all know, the market is anticipating QE2 on November FOMC meeting. If USD continues to fall it will effect my capital. Anyone having the same concerns? Should i move to Oanda Asia instead?

Hi myvi, u jus started trading? would u share some tips to me on what to do for a beginner? i heard that they can have a demo account for us to test 1st. Am i right.

Its very bad time for newbies to start forex trading. Market is very volatile right now..currency wars are looming. There are huge opportunities for those that can predict the trends. I just started trades too..but i have been demo trading for 2 years.

I fall into the trap of delving too much into technical analysis and trading systems when i first started.. but now after learning about fundamental analysis i can see the bigger picture and have been more profitable. Its not about picking tops or bottoms..its about riding the trend, knowing when to exit and money management. I never risk more then 2% and i trade the longer time frames. Determine what type of trader u are..some people are day traders, some trade news, some like trend following, some like swing trading..

Anyone can get lucky and double their capital in 1 trade.. The question is, can you make consistent profits? week in week out. Its a game of chance. I doubt whether the forex market would be the same in 2 years time.. that being said, u can try demo account with many fx brokers.. I recommend FxPro for demo because you can trade many pairs with FXPro..u can even trade Gold and Silver. Go register at FxPro website its free for demo.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. They are the market movers. They fight amongst themselves to move the market to make money. We are the little fish on the side, picking off their trail of food. Whichever direction the market goes during their fight, we just follow.

Where do you think the concept of resistance and support came about? That is the result of their fight. One big fish moves the market long and another big fish is ready to stop it with their own short orders. That line is the resistance line (price going up and the opposite would be support if the price is going down) where the other big fish has the short orders ready.

If the long fish lose the fight, the price bounce off the resistance line and go short (as we have seen happen many times) because the short orders were activated. If there is a fight, you'd see the price move along the resistance and then move up if the long fish beats the short fish (when short fish no longer has any short orders left coz they have all been bought by long fish).

Again, we are just the little fish waiting around and then short the market if the long fish lose or continue long if long fish wins. You get the concept now? That is how retail players do it. We do not predict and we do not move the market. We just follow and pick up the pieces.

This is very true. Long term support and resistance, clear trend lines, round numbers. These are the levels which the big banks and hedge funds use. One of the most important thing i learn is not to pick the bottom or top. Treat the trend like a bus trip..u cant drive the bus. You are just a passenger. You could just ride the bus and determine where u want to leave the bus. Once the bus has shown its direction you can choose to get in the bus and get profits.. The tricky thing is; you dont know when the bus will change direction. You can only predict. Thats why its more important to determine your exit strategy first and money management in every trade.

Use oanda,then use paypal to fund ur account.

cheapest and fastest way

oanda has been unreliable around news time.. very bad, platform shutdown..happen twice this week..including today. but if ur long term trader it wont matter much at all.

QUOTE(icycokes @ Oct 13 2010, 04:39 AM)
if you used paypal for deposit, what happens when you wanna withdraw? oanda recognizes withdrawal by funding account. paypal is gonna freeze your account if it see big bucks coming in.

got this problem? i havent withdraw frm my account yet..so i dunno such problem exist. Paypal shouldnt care how much u deposit or withdraw..1k usd isnt that much amount of money if u think about it anyways.

Besides IBFX Aus, any other broker that all forumer can recommend ? Or basically all broker are the same. doh.gif

Opening demo account is free.. just need to register, download and install MT4.

Mind you trading is not as easy as one might think. That is the myth that many has fall into ending up losing their money. The thing with trading is that everyone can win some trades earlier purely out of chance, but very few profit consistently. If I go read some books on how to be a brain surgeon would you trust me to do brain surgery on you? Most probably not. But in trading, a beginner could successfully profit after the first few trades without learning about the markets. That is the trap.. And another thing, trading with real money is a totally different compared with demo account. Demo is good to learn the platform, but its like playing video game compared to the real thing. Trading with real account you feel the greed and fear of trading.. But overall, if you like to follow world affairs and dont mind reading charts.. i recommend trading to anyone..

Thx for ur info myvi5949.

Heard tat some of my frens who got their hands burnt in forex too.

So basically u'll have to be partially an "economist" too la, to read news around the world, wats going on etc.
*
Depends on what type of trader you are.. do u like scalping on the 5 minute chart? scalpers need to be good in technical analysis.. trading on the 4 hour and daily charts require more awareness of fundamental analysis. But most good traders use both fundamental and technical analysis.. u dont need to learn complex keynesian economics stuff; u just need to understand what their talking about.. its like a secret language that traders and economics understand. For example "quantitative easing" is code word for increasing the money supply.

Dont want to bait a flame war but most dont share their analysis here..most holding on to their cards.. since many newcomers come and go asking for broker and stuff, i dont want to mislead others with what i think the price will go. Thats what forexfactory is for.. and after going through that forum; my personal conclusion is most of the trading systems there is misleading u got everything from cyclical to VSA to ichimoku cloud. The forum is good for chatting and the calendar is great. But there are so many people in there, 90% traders lose money.

That being said, i have being shorting GBP all this week. Austerity measure and fear of QE from BOE could spark further downside to 1.5650 and retest to 1.5350 next week.. dont like EU at the moment its too volatile. Just to start the ball rolling tongue.gif

Hi all,
i have some questions here, anyone can help and guide?
1) what's the different between these three? instaforex.com,      instaforex.com.my and instaforex.my?
2) which one is the best among these three? most trustable and no problem for deposit and withdrawal?
3) which one u guys are using or prefer?
4) is ibfx.com.au (interbankfx Australia) better?
Thanks in advance.

Its all about managing risk. Oanda Asia Pacific and ibfx Australia is good choice. Oanda is the biggest broker, got more profitable accounts and good spreads. I use Oanda to trade and MT4 demo for charting. Dont open a US account though, you want your account in Asian currencies like AUD or SGD. Holding USD is risky nowadays.

Well I am glad that I switched my second entire acc from USD to AUD @ 0.83 rate tongue.gif Not to mention in Oanda, it pays me ~4% interest(annual rate) on daily basis.

With Austrialia Economy growing faster than US/Europe + the stocks and gold keep hitting new high. It would seems obvious that AUD is likely breaking Parity vs USD soon.

My Oanda primary account is in USD. How do you change from USD to AUD/SGD? Do you open a secondary account? Or do ya need to switch to Oanda Asia Pacific?

Use secondary Acc Oanda USA. I have 3 Accs type, USD, EUR, AUD now. If AUD turn into long term bearish, I will switch back to EUR/USD in instantly. But I will be harder to switch back because the interest rate every day from AUD is too hard to resist lol. Higher than any FD in Malaysia.

Thanks so much for this. I dont want to hold USD..too risky at this moment with all the QE and POMO going on. smile.gif

Dont have to go that far.. i read back in April MYR is the second best performer against USD. We have some political issues, but which country dont? Our economy is 55% service sector while the rest is largely diversified in commodities like palm oil, rubber and gas..low unemployment and higher than average savings. We wont have ageing population or gender problem like what China, Singapore and Japan is facing. SGD is a good option too, the merger of its stock market with Australians stock market is good buy signal.. plus it boast the fastest rate of millionaires per household. Guess who is second?

Important part of trading sitting on the sideline waiting for market to literally give u money.. right now the Fundamentals are taking over..so no matter how good ur technical indicator is, market very volatile. Scalping is ok.. do it guerilla style..get your 30 pips and run away.

Give up on IBFX.. they insist on certification. I going for OANDA.

Giving up MT4.... Let hope I dont made the wrong choice

I read somewhere that its easier for market makers to hunt stop loss using MT4. Oanda is good choice but I wont recommend it if ur into newstrading (gambling).

Determine what type of trader you are..take this quiz..it will tell you your strength and weakness.

http://www.tharptradertest.com/default.aspx?question=1

Depends on what type of trader you are.. for me.. trading should be mechanical and "emotionless". Thats why i use Ichimoku Cloud. Trader mentality is more important than any analysis.

Anyways, now that QE2 is out whats the new story? is it still "sell the dollar"?? I've been cautiously short USDCHF.. nice trending down since last nite..

Why would u only trade EU? I reckon EU is more risky pair to trade now compared to AUD, NZD and CHF. Euro has its own problem hidden under the rug. right now it dont matter what indicator u use..ride USD down.. Dont pick top or bottom.
