I try to but I have a fulltime job, so I usually stay till <12 but will stay longer if I am having an open position or there are any market moving meeting etc . I am more of a swing trader.

No you don't , the minimum some sites is offering - USD 100 with a leverage of 300. You are right on the second part, very volatile on USD/EUR pair which I do follow time to time.Losses are part of trading but forex do include commissions to. Sometimes the commi is more than trading stocks or options.

you work as a trader? forex need to register at where to do this trading?

yeah i think trading forex is the best way to earn fast money...the market always moving and u can earn by play it short or long...i play the simulator before and the spread usually only 3 pip and u can gain bout 100 USD in just few hour only if u know how to play within the price range for that day....you dont have to pay commision too in forex if im not mistaken...

i also want to know where in m'sia we can trade forex? since converting USD back to ringgit would be costly so better if there are any local trading place where i can trade here....

the only place where you could do "real" forex trading is via the internets.

There isnt a specific facility/place to trade forex,like stocks or futures.

then we don't need to register at anywhere? then how we get paid?

i just found out that malaysia goverment disallowed any forex company to setting office or branches(for foreign company) in malaysia and there will never be a legal forex brokerages existed in Malaysia...only foreign currency trading scams...bank negara also dont encourage we to do forex trading since many of them are scam...

just go to the forex brokerages websites fill in their forms.Then do a TT transfer from your local bank to the disignated foreign bank by the forex brokerage.The inverse if you wish to withdraw the money from them.

is this true?

oic... btw mobius you're a forex trader? can teach us abit?

no,some of my friends and relatives are.I'd like to trade forex too,if i had enough money.

then your not a trader?

i only trade futures and sometimes equities

Can sign up online. I've done it before. I'm actually with FXCM. But I'm looking for a another broker. Fren said FXCM is not so good. Don't actually know why. Find it ok. However, I'm trying a different broker. Xpresstrade.

you work as a trader for a company or you work for yourself?
those futures you trade are foreign or local?

I'm trading forex with FXCM... Also working as a futures broker. In Malaysia, the only broker that can trade with foreign futures is Okachi. They're in commodities though. Recently Bursa did mention on opening up our market. Whereby we can trade on other countries markets as well. Well, they've been saying it for sometime... Not too sure if its gonna happen or not.

mobiusone, any positions in FKLI or FCPO?

umm...more like a part time trader for a company,since i'm not old enough to take the broker's license test

i'm holding short position for FKLI.
i decided to stay away from cpo at the moment,very hard to play nowadays.
i feel like gambling in the cpo market,since the only huge price movement is in the opening and closing,you will never know where the price is heading, sometimes it rises/fall beyond my expectation.Very unpredictable.

not old enough yet? you must be very young then

i'm 18 years old only

i could sit for the exam now,even thou if i managed to get the license,i cant use it till i'm 21.By that time,i need to re-take the exam.

CPO.... Think it will go up.. But dunno. Some bigshots keep whacking it down at the very last second. FKLI short ar... Okie, tell my clients to short too No need to apply for the license unless you really want to be a broker le.

yea,a lot of people expecting cpo to have a bull run around these few months,or should i say 2nd half of the year.Bull or bear i do not know,but i do know the cpo market will have a huge price movement within these few months.

Some of them are pretty optimistic too, and told me that i should just invest my money in the cpo market instead of dividend stocks,some even predict that the price will move by 200 points lol.

oh btw..i'm not sure fkli will go down,i just act according to my trading system.The sell signal appeared during the last few hours during friday.Maybe the minor uptrend will still continue,i hope not lol.
