Guy, I would like to investment some foreign currency, mainly due to the bullish in RM, which I think could capitalised on this opportunity to get some foreign currency for appreciation. Is there anyway I can buy a foreign currency and hold for 6 months - 2 years then only disposed off when I deemed the price is right?

Trade in demo is different in live/real.

Trade in small pond vs ocean is different as well.

Although all are basically the same on paper, in real trade and real money involved, and scale of it, human behaviour is different when one trades with demo, or virtual fake account.

It is never the same.

One can win big in demo, but in live or real account, may be not.

Because in demo/fake account you have nothing to lose, in real trade, it is not.

One can win small small, but after small small win over period of time, greed may take over and want to venture into ocean, eventually drown in greed.

Just for clarify to others who may not know,

Forex trading is not legal in Malaysia. No company/brokers can offer forex trading in Malaysia.

Unregulated = no protection at all, and you may not know it is real or not.

Under the Exchange Control Act 1953 (ECA), it is an offence for a person in Malaysia to buy or sell foreign currency or do any act which involves, is in association with, or is preparatory to, buying or selling of foreign currency with any person, other than an authorised dealer. It is also an offence for a person to aid or abet another person to buy or sell foreign currency with any person, unless the person is an authorised dealer.

The list of authorised dealers and financial institutions permitted by the Controller of Foreign Exchange to buy or sell foreign currency can be obtained from Bank Negara Malaysia website http://www.bnm.gov.my
So far, as far as I know, BNM never approve any company to run FX trading for retailers in Malaysia nor collect money for FX investment/trading.
