I would like to start doing forex and I found some "forex trading/tips providers". They basically analyze market data and trends, and send you tips of what is "likely" to happen in the market as soon as they see an opportunity, of course, its up to you to execute your own orders. But how good are they? Their services are not cheap. I am not a math person and my knowledge of technical analysis is limited. I found out one called "www.4xfindme.com" But has anybody used any of such service providers? Can anybody recommend a good one? I know that at thend of the day we are taking an "educated guess" but do these forex trading tips service providers can really help? Any good ones out there that anybody can recommend? Which one is the most popular and best forex trading tips service provider out there?

Most trading tips providers or signal providers don't work. You can read reviews on most of them on http://www.forextopten.com and http://www.forexpeacearmy.com .
I am 24 years old,i am currently studying and doing lots of research on how to trade fulltime in the stock markets. there is an outstanding 3 days training course that i need to attend,to perfect my stock trading knowledge and skills.

I’m not understanding the restrictions that the SEC has on day trading? Is there some reason why there is a $25,000 minimum deposit in order to become a day trader? Why $25,000 plus? And please do not say “because day trading can be very risky.” As we all know any investment can be risky whether it be a stock option, equity, or even starting a business. Every investment is based of o speculation.

That being said, with the market has been swinging up and down the way it has been in the past few months and I’d like to get in and get out quickly on certain trades.

The fact that some of these brokers expect you to to hold a position for weeks or even months is just ridiculous, especially in a market like this one.

Does day trrading affect the market in a negative way? Hell, it can’t be worse than naked short selling.

Ive found some loop holes in certain online brokers and have been able to successfully day trade but it is very hard and not really fast enough. I was wondering if anyone else knows of any online brokers that allow day trading for the small investor without heavy restriction.

Day trading


Nobody expects you to hold a position for weeks/months. they just need you to wait until you have settled funds (3 days).

the restriction is to make sure that small investors (i.e. people who don’t even have 25k) don’t lose their shirts, and cheat the IRS out of tax revenue, because you are totally inept and will have carry-forward losses for the next decade.

this, of course, gets re-packaged as concern for small investors who need protection from themselves. but don’t let that fool you - it’s all about the tax revenue. nobody really cares enough about you to bother protecting you.

Im planning on trying my luck doing a little day trading. i will be using bank of america brokerage and will get the commission free trading. any suggestions on stock I should take a look at. stocks that are some what volatile that I could buy low sell for a small profit and do it again the next day.
dont worry people i am a long term investor. 90 percent of my money is tied up in index funds and some quality stocks like garmin for long term.
to common sense:
you wrote "With BOA you get 30 free trades a month. But it costs you the difference of earning 5.30% (like www.GMACBank.com) vs. their very small rate"

I put the 25,000$ you need to get free trades in one of bank of america's high yield cds which i locked in at 5.34 percent.
The cds count towards eligibility for commission free trades.
to everyone else who said that I shouldnt do this because day trading is very hard and i am doomed to fail:

I will be placing limit order trades and just set the limits for the highs and lows that I want to buy and sell at.
I feel that is somewhat safer. I will try to buy on a down day and place a limit order sell for like a dollar or 2 above the price i bought it for depending on the stock price of course. The gains wont be too big but at least ill have no commssions eating away my gains.
what do u guys think of that?? still bad idea?

Picking a trend in just one day is almost impossible. You don't want to hear this, but starting out daytrading like this, you are like a little league football player lining up against the pros.

When you spread your time frame out a bit, you even the odds a little more and give yourself a better chance. It's still not easy, but why start off against impossible odds?

Here's some ideas that might help you manage risk a little better and actually have a chance: http://www.srsfinance.com/Smart_Money_Principle.html

Sorry if I'm raining on your parade. I don't mean to. GRMN, BTW, looks great. Just make sure you keep a stop loss under $95 and trail that up higher as the price moves higher. Nothing worse than letting a winner turn into a loser.

Best of luck

I was a little drunk yesterday on the golf course and bragging to my father-in-law about my vast knowledge of the stock market. Now he wants me to invest a large portion of his wealth! I've never even owned a stock or done any daytime trading or anything.
Day trading

I'm looking for either some websites, books or courses that i could learn more about these, i currentl have 401k through meryil lynch, but they are not aggresive. any info will be greatly appreciated.

Hello there,
So I am curious whether I can make some money with Forex trading, by starting with relatively few amount of money.
As far as I see the trends are small and for a 3 days period from Dec-15 to Dec-18 was the GBP/USD with +0.4% trend of the GBP.
Well…I am not into this business so I have no idea what kind of money you need to start….but seeing the change rate above this means that if I buy GPB with 500USD and resell it 3 days later in the best possible case I will end up with 0.4 percents more? That of course will be funny money…
So what you will advise me to do?

You could, but most don't. Leave the things you "are not into" until you've studied, and practiced, it enough to be comfortable. Besides, a GOOD brokerage won't want to open an account for you to do that unless you either had more or talked as if you knew more. Is it possible? Yes. Is it probable? Definitely no. You are merely fresh fish to the sharks. Sorry. Study it a bit more.
I was told about forex and day trading but I think it might be a scam.

Conservatively, you can average about 12% a year by buying large-capitalization stocks and selling (also called writing) call options to collect a premium. So you can make about $12,000 for each $100,000 in your account. With a $500,000 account, you would make about $60,000 a year. With a larger account, of course, you could make more.
Another way to make consistent profits in stocks in "swing trading," going for small moves of several days to several weeks in stocks or stock options. I use Japanese candlestick charts to swing trade, and have been averaging 8% to 12% a month, using some leverage. Instead of buying stocks, I buy deep-in-the-money options, going both long and short. Doing this, even a small account of $100,000 can make you $8,000 to $12,000 a month, an amount many people would consider a very comfortable living. Get a book on Japanese candlestick trading, paper-trade for a while (just make "pretend" trades, tracking the results in Yahoo Finance) until you become proficient at recognizing and acting on the signals.
So far, I understand that stock price is manipulated by news about a company's profit at its reporting time and product selling success, maybe a little drum rolling for a product. There seems to be some effect from sector growth. But doesnt the price of stock rise because there are investors actively seeking and bidding on the price of a stock? Who sets the starting bids? I notice that some stocks actually start 1 day later at a price $2 above the selling price of the day before in active trading! How does this happen? Is this something were after hours legal compensation trading took place in the form of stock issues by the company at graduated prices? I am attempting to see the rise in the stock market as an auction? Is this the way it is? Is there a scarcity of each stock that is growing in price, a bid to have some of an investor's funds in a particular company because it holds "valuable assets", relatively more valuable assets in product or at least an illusion of such?

Stock Market is a game. In game theoretic terminologies, there are two players one a buyer and the other seller. The seller asks for a price he feels is right for the stock and the buyer bids for a price he feels fit for the stock. When they both agree on a price the transaction takes place. It depends on whether an askers price is considered right enough for the bidder. The asker feels he is getting good value for his sale and the bidder feels he is getting a bargain. This makes the game a zero sum game where after the transaction whichever way the price is bid up one of the players looses what the other player gians. Demand and supply determines the price also. If the ask is high and the demand is low the price will move downwards. If the ask is high and the demand is high the price moves upwards. Then of course there are other factors like scalpers and pyramiding which tend to influence the price. These are unethical methods though scalping may not like arbitragers try to take advantage of the price difference from the normal by shorting or longing stocks. Pyrmamiding is unethical so let me not explain it. Skahhh I will explain it for you. When two brokers get together to inflate price they will make continous buy and sell between themselves at higher prices each time. This will inflate prices also.
Is very Risky? What are the risk factors for a beginer?

Please advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich got it right. Day Trading is risky and very few people are good at it. None of the worlds top investors got there by day trading.

Day trading involves technical analysis only, and the trader needs to make quick decisions on what to do.

You are better off investing for longer periods of time.
