Even if u're trading with USD 1K already can earn USD 1k every month, provided u earn steady USD 50 everyday.. n u trade every working day for de whole month.. If u could hold urself fr being greedy, i think its feasible..

Is it? someone prove it then. Remember you have to deduct commissions, your net income after deducting commissions and spread must be $50.

the best knowledge u can get is by getting experience hands on the metatrader... its demo.. try everything and keep it realistic to your risk appetite.. just click around and you will know what it is for.

xblade123 claims he's earning 1k monthly on what capital? if his capital is 10k i'm not surprised. But yes some prove would be nice smile.gif elite traders like adam earns more then 1k (and he has shown prove to us) on certain months but even he has some months that he doesn't make.. no way can someone claim they sure win every month
*
He's got proof? where's the site? must see. Remember that's 1K that you can spend, minus commissions, bank charges and spread. Do you have the address of the site?

The market has potentially infinite wealth. And you don't ever know if you're playing against the market.

Trend is your friend. We only enter when we know the direction.


And we never know the direction. All this talk, and I've never actually seen anyone make so much as 5K a month for any length of time. Still though, call your shots, post them here (for proof) and then all of us can see if you really can do what you say.

Scalping is like gambling. IF you want to be Professional Forex trader, you should really quit.
I learned that a professional Forex Trader sees all timeframe and determine the right direction, and he know when is the best entry and exit. He does not trade everyday and enter a trade only when he is very very sure.
To me, small timeframe is like gambling also as there is too much noise and it is not the major direction. Unless you know the major direction and use some small timeframe to pick up a good entry.

If you trade over so much as one day, you will have additional charges to worry about right? yea long term you can see the trend, you know that, I know that, and the brokerages know that, that's why they charge rollover.

Forex trading (as practiced by most online brokerages) is gambling with borrowed money smile.gif

Yes that how I trade. Don't know that strategy called position trader. haha. Try different strategy like scalper/day trader but it doesn't work for me. With this strategy, I even have a couple of position still open since a few months back. But it doesn't matter as it is interest positive.

How do you trade & which pair you like?

Don't you feel though that the interest-positive side always seems to be the wrong side ?

Since carry trade collapse end of last year, I think it should be the other way. From technical perspective, if look before the collapse, almost all interest positive pair move up especially the pair that I trade now A/U & A/J. When it collapse, it drop to almost its hostorical low which means that its strong support level. Since it still interest positive, I believe when the time comes, carry trade will start again.

From fundemental economic point of view, during current economic crisis. US & Japan will suffer the most & Australia will be better than them. When economy recover later I believe comodity exported country like Australia will benefit the most & this will increase the value of Australian Dollar.

However this is suitable for trader that see for long term.

Anyway it just my 2cents points of view.
*
You have to have enough to avoid margin calls and forced closure though, don't you?

Anyway, if the interest positve pairs move up interest will become negative right? help me out here, I don't see how that will work.

Yes, you need to have sufficient margin. But remember always start small trade size & increase the trade size if it fall >5% & increase again when it fall >10%. Beware that this strategy is not mean to all interest positive pair. I believe this strategy good for AUD/JPY & AUD.USD pair since it already drop to close to its hostorical low.

For example & taken from my trading. I long A/J at 0.65 in early January with trade size 250 unit only & keep buying with 250 unit every 50 pips drop. All my position have no stop loss but some of the position with target point of at least 50 pips & gain small profit with this & keep buying at the same entry. Unfortunately the pair keeps droping to <0.62 within 2-3 days. I keep buying but at below 0.62 but this time my trade size increase to 500 unit every 50 pips until it drops to 0.59. Similar here take some profit on rebound. My trade size increase again when the pair drop <0.59. I keep buying until it drop to its lowest 0f 0.555 (almost historical low). When the pair rebound I collect handsome profit with all my trade without a single trade close with loss position. As of now left only 2 position open.

Margin wise, I have sufficient margin until the pair drop to <0.50 & will top up if it keeps droping.

I like this kind of trade because you do not need to stare up at your screen most the time & also to keep my blood pressure low.  biggrin.gif
On interest positive pair example AUD/JPY. It will always be positive as long as Interest Rate for AUD is higher than JPY interest rate plus ~1.25% (this is broker margin). Now AUD intest rate is about ~3.5% and JPY interest rate is ~0.25%. So my net interest gain is ~2%. So as long as you long this this pair you gain ~2% interest but you have to pay if you short. Means that you keep gaining in interest although your unrealized profit is negative.  The gain can be big if have large trade size. This is what we  call carry trade.

Hope you understand.

Interesting. Which broker will let you trade 250 units?

I need to ask you guys something. Assuming a cross-rate chart is at, say 0.50, can it go down to 0? what happens if it goes down to 0?

Why not? If your trading method accurate.

And your broker doesn't disappear, go out of business, deny that you ever deposited any money with them, insist on your faxing copies of various documents to them, then you're good. If you make so much that they don't have money to pay you, then you might have issues.

Did I read that correctly? Insisting on you faxing copies of (identification?) documents is bad?

Why?

Cos if it's in my brokerage account, and I want it transferred to my bank account (all of which they already have valid proof of) and I'm willing to pay for all costs, why would they want more proof that I own the bank account they already have proof that I own? the only reason I can think of is that they don't have the money, and they're stalling until they can get their hands on it.

Depends on your trading methadology. Some uses moving averages as support, resistance, some uses SR, some uses bollinger.


But how can they all be right? what's your capital?
