The Day Trade Forex System: How to Choose An Online Forex Brokerage Firm
What to look for in an online Forex Brokerage Firm:
1. Low Spreads
In Forex Trading the ‘spread’ is the difference between the buy and sell price of any given currency pair. The lower the spread saves the trader money. Most firms offer 4-5 pip spreads in the Major Currency pairs. The best firms offer clients 3-5 pips.
2. Low minimum account openings
For those that are new to trading, and for those that don’t have thousands of dollars in risk capital to trade, being able to open a mini trading account with only $200 is a great feature for new traders.
3. Instant automatic execution of your orders
This is very important when choosing a Forex firm. You want instant execution of your orders and the price you see and ‘click’ is the price that you should get. Don’t settle with a firm that re-quotes you when you click on a price or a firm that allows for price ‘slippage’. This is
very important when trading for small profits.
4. Free charting and technical analysis
You need a firm that gives you access to the best charting and technical analysis available to active traders. The firm that I recommend gives clients FREE professional charting services and even allows traders totrade directly on the charts!
5. High Leverage
You want high leverage—the ability to trade a large amount with a small margin deposit. Some of the best firms offer .25% or 400:1 leverage.
6. Hedging Capability
You want the flexibility of opening positions on the same currency pair in opposite directions without them eliminating each other and without margin increase!
7. A realistic demo account trading capital balance that reflects the actual dollar amount that the trader will start live trading with. It does the demo trader no good to start out demo trading with a $50,000 account, when in real life he will only start out with $1,000. A forex brokerage needs to offer the trader a demo account starting balance other than the standard $50,000.
After alot of research and personal experience, the firm that I recommend with the above-mentioned benefits is Capital Markets Services LLC (CMS Forex LLC).
Open a free unlimited demo account and start practicing!
The goal of the Day Trade Forex System is to instruct and teach potential traders how to day trade the currency markets and what to look for in an online forex brokerage.
The objective of day trading is to trade the intra day market moves to try to gain small to medium sized profits in any given trading day. This is how this guide will help. Most readers will not have the time or resources to ‘position trade’ like the major institutions and banks do. They tend to look at the big picture holding onto trades for weeks or months.
The Day Trade Forex System is specifically designed for use with the 1, 5 or 10-15 minute charts, with the goal of taking 5-30 pip profits per trade — closing bad trades out using tight stops, or hedging any losing trades. The ability to trade right off the charts makes the CMS trading platform our favorite.
We feel that the CMS trading platform offers traders the most features that fit the criteria listed above.

interest that a country must eventually pay. This number not only includes government debt, but also debt owed by the private sector and individuals. So, how does the US debt position compare to that of other countries? A useful measure of a country’s debt position is by comparing gross external debt to GDP, which offers a direct relation of a country’s total debt to the size of its economy. In this report, all countries are among the world’s 50 largest economies, and are ranked by …
Here some answer the question about forex capital markets
I am very decent trading in Forex. How can I make money without any of my own?
I have done research in it for maybe a little over two years now.I have traded several demo accounts and have always done very well, in my last account, 50k went to about 75k in a week of intense research, focus, and trading. Every trade resulted in profits, there were I think over 20 trades, some going on together with others, some 5 days, others 1 hour, etc.
I want to make big money trading real money, but I don't have any money to invest with because I am a broke student. I am wondering how I can still make money in the market because I believe I have the ability to do so, without having the start up capital myself.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

If you just click on my name from YouTube, it will take you to my Channel Page.
From there, if you click on “See All” under the playlists, it will take you to all of my YouTube playlists. There is one for the Challenge Project.
Or, if you’re on my Daily Blog, click on the link that says “My YouTube Playlists”, and get to the “Challenge Project” from there.
It started out at the daily blog however.

It’s true, and there is an aspect there that I would like to talk abit about in the future.
There becomes a psychological barrier as the account grows from risking %’s, vs. risking $’s.
When the account grows by about 3000%?
Trust you me, it becomes difficult to risk the amount you should be risking. My mind just has a problem risking $5000 looking for $10,000.
My risk tolerance is such that I would rather be going for a 1k to 2k rr ratio

The downside there, is the account stops growing as quickly.
This is why some guys will take $15,000 trade it up to $100k, and then start over.

First things first, its imperative with investments such as FOREX or stocks, you use discretionary income. Savings accounts, IRAS, rainy day funds, ect, may not make you rich, but are important to hedge against market losses and essential to your financial security. But its both wise, and okay to have a smaller initial investment. With FOREX, you'll have great leverage in your favor anyway.
Its also great you have a lot of time, but regardless if you had one week, or one century, the worst mistake you could make would be jumping in with real money first. You'd have more fun lighting the money on fire and having the same result. Practice, paper-trade, play accounts, do it once and beat out the indexes and inflation, and you're off to a great start. Do it again, and again, and again. Read everything you can about which ever investment you decide upon, or your $1000 will be tuition for the markets and what you learn. Trust me, ask any trader and the majority jumped right in with real money, lost it all, and learned what they could have learned without losing the money. Don't believe the hype and scams about "stock systems." Develop your own, formulate your own rules, and live and die by them.
But back to your request for advice, to sum it up. Practice with play accounts/demo accounts/paper-trade over and over again until you are 100% comfortable and have a good understanding of what it is you are investing in. That is the easiest and best way to get into online investing. Google search for some FOREX play accounts, these sites usually also have options for real accounts when you're ready with great leverage, 100:1, even 200:1 I can recall seeing.
Best of luck.

Borrowing money to trade on is a really really BAD idea.

There really is nothing you can do. He is determined and will resent your interference. The three things in life that are additive to men. Women- drugs/alcohol- gambling Not all men are additive to all three but each has its own power to destroy. He is on the gambling faze. Let him loose his money and you should learn and realize the power of the three of them. I have one friend who has all three mess him up. He smokes marijuana daily for 25 year, has traded futures for over 10 years loosing untold thousands and has a wife, soon to be ex-wife that is going to take what ever he has left.

you can check out your options in this site. on thing is for sure, the forex market is so volatile nothing beats the advice you can get from a real live person. this site provides each registered trader a personal Account Service Manager to be the mentor/adviser and is always available to answer all queries and technical questions. besides, you can always interact with expert forex traders in their chat room. to top it all, they can even set your rates for Take Profit and Stop Loss, thus, enabling you unlimited earnings yet limit your loss, if in case, to only your set amount. with a minimum deposit of $100 you can already start trading and you can even fund your capital with your credit card as you like.
