Sterling currency trading is my favourite, I have never been successful in other currencies as much as Sterling even when I was working in the bank.

Recently, I saw this London Forex Rush program which gives indicators for the Sterling London intra-day trading.

Tried it out and I'm quite impressed but the usefulness. I only use it as a guide at the moment. But it's created for you to use as a complete system.

No. A bank will not, as you need something to legal tie the funds too…even with a signature loan, you need to explain the reason for the loan (this is to prevent money laundering). Your only option in this case is a Margin Account through your broker. But since you trade options, you would already have a margin account, which means you know you do need to maintain equity in the account.
There is an alternative. BUT, I wouldn't recommend it.
You could engage in a Carry Trade. Again!! I do not recommend you do this for Day-Trading options or stocks!
You short a currency (the JPY is pretty popular). Just like shorting a stock, you get a credit. Since Forex is not regulated by the same Margin Rules as Equities, you can get 50K for a simply $500 account. With that credit, rather than buying Bonds with a higher interest rate than the rate of the shorted currency (Fed rate is 4.25, so you could get a bond around that rate, which JPY rate is .5%..you profit from the difference) you put that money into your options account. You need to be careful that you leave some room in your Forex account, as you do not want a Margin Call on this. And you need to make sure you monitor the currency market to make sure that the JPY's flat…although if it is dropping, you have the added bonus of making money there too.

I am not suggesting you do this, but just saying that there are possibilities out there. Just don't use this one, as it you need to be aware of what you are doing.

The news affected my long stocks although some have recovered pretty well. One coming up to earnings next week (NTO) gained back everything and a little more. I had opened up 3 shorts on Monday morning (IMGN, PRXI and MEH) that far exceeded my expectations because of the China sell-off. Two longs I also opened on Monday got dumped (OPSW and ACTU)

I'm making a killing on the USDJPY. Sold $100k on Sunday when it broke 121, sold another 200k late Monday night when it broke 120 and did another 100k Tuesday morning when it broke 119. Closed out 300k today at 116.73 and am holding the other 100k over the weekend.

Between stocks and Forex, this is one of the best weeks I've had in quite a while.

Be aware that 90% of day-traders lose money. The odds are way against you. I recommend trying swing-trading (a few days to a few months time frame) first. The pressure is less and the timing not so quick. The exact same principles that apply to swing trading will prepare you for trading on shorter time frames. Or … you might decide you were making enough money in swing trading to stick with it.

As for sources, check with your brokerage. Many of them make learning tools available to their clients.

Best of success.

First off, you should know that "predicable" and "day trade" should never be used in the same sentence. If there was a predictable way to profit by day trading, a lot more people would be doing it.

That being said, if your looking to investing something that is the "least risky" and "most predictable" you should look at a low cost fund that tracks a broad market index . Check out VFINX, Vanguards mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500. If you looking for pure predictability, try a bond fund.

The others you mention Forex, Options and Commodities, are the MOST risky and LEAST predictable. And while they can be quite profitable for a professional trader, they are not suitable for the average/rookie investor.

This is just a couple of paragraphs a copied and pasted from the bottomm links ( this is a fairly long article). They helped me a lot when i was researching about short/long term forex strategies and tips. All the rest of the helpful articles are in the 'forex resources' section on http://www.forextradinghq.com

In order to profit from the forex market, you will need strategies and also the will to change these strategies. Traders who lack a well thought out trading plan are prone to panic and confusion, when unexpected swings in the forex market occur. Many traders will tell you that trade driven by emotion is the fastest way to deplete your funds. Whether or not you are using a technical or fundamental style, it is still essential that you have a proper view of the market.

Developing your own trading style is a time consuming process and is often acquired through trail and error. It is unfortunate that there is no ‘golden’ rule’ to trade in the forex market and technical and fundamental styles of trade won’t be successful all the time. Successful traders often have a unique style of trading and take up various strategies during a trading session. Only continuous practice will help you gain a feel for the movements of the forex market.

To draw the range, you need to connect the highs togeter to find level of resistance and then lows to find level of support.

This range between level of resistance and level of support is the trading range.

The idea of using differnt duration charts to find the direction of market in long term and shotrt term. So, if the long term chart is pointing upward, enter the trade when shorter term chart is also pointing upward.

Well, fx cfds are great and hedge funds use them to make millions.. but day trading? the answer above said it.. a losing game.

i think sometime ago i came across a emperical studied that proved day-traders lose everything in the long-run.

some of the best traders dont over-trade. they don't commit without any goal.

investment is key.

can potentially make lot of money from trading cfds from making 10 trades a year – holding them for sometime -provided u have the margin.. than from day-trading. the money u make today ull lose tomorrow.
