Let’s see:

ECONOMY
The economy is doing the best in decades. The stock market is up. Unemployment is at its lowest level in years. Mortgage rates are historically low.

FOREIGN POLICY
Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories have democratically elected governments. Castro is on the way out. Kim Jong Il is totally isolated. World opinion is completely against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. India and others are fast becoming strong allies in the war on terror.

DOMESTIC
Abortion activists, enviro-wackos, extremist women’s groups, gay marriage activists, illegal alien advocates are all on the defensive. $110B has been allocated to Katrina relief (if the Democratic administrations in the State and City can get it distributed). Two conservative justices have been added to the Supreme Court. The Democrats are into whining, complaining and knashing of teeth mode, with no real ideas. The Bush administration is a leader in bringing women and minorities into government at high levels.

I’d say we’ve just about unraveled the mess Bill Clinton handed us.

If it is too confusing, then you shouldn’t be investing in gold. You’ll never be able to do what you think you can do. First there is the spot price that a dealer will pay, then there is a markup price plus shipping that you will pay for the gold. Then when you want to sell the gold, the dealer will offer you a discount price to buy your gold.

Depending on from who you purchase your gold and type of gold (bars, coins, collector coins, etc.), you will likely have a round trip surcharge of 10%-70%. If you don’t understand the different costs, you will likely be very sorry that you ever purchased gold.

Forex Guide answers:

Yes, that is illegal. It’s a form of “kiting”. It’s also speculative so you could end up losing the money and then have nothing to pay off your debt. Investment should only be done with discretionary money!

EDIT:

You are still “playing the float”; borrowing money to use during the grace period. This is commonly referred to as “Check Kiting” but it’s the same principle.

ETrade is expensive and has many hidden fees.
Scottrade is “OK”, but better for a semi experianced trader.
Forex: Apples and oranges, Forex is an asset class (currency).

You’re asking the wrong questions. Looking for a broker is the last thing you should be doing. In order to pick a broker you need to know your requirements. What order types are important to you? Is fundemental analyis important or is technical analysis? What about a charting package? Do you need conditional orders.. If so what types?
(and many more such questions)….. It would be a mess to chose a broker and then find out they don’t do what you need.

So…. The answer is simple & smart;
Learn stock investing…. At least the basics. Take 6-12 months or more. I guarantee you… It will save you from making typical mistakes like;
Buying stocks because they’re “cheap”.
Buying stocks under $5.
Not using stops.
Not using limit orders.
Etc……………………..

Good luck.

Forex Trading is trading currencies from different countries against each other. Forex is acronym of Foreign Exchange.

How Does Forex Trading Work?
Forex trading is typically done through a broker or market maker. As a forex trader you can choose a currency pair that you expect to change in value and place a trade accordingly. For example, if you had purchased 1,000 Euros in January of 2005, it would have cost you around $1,200 USD. Throughout 2005 the Euro’s value vs. The U.S. Dollar’s value increased. At the end of the year 1,000 Euros was worth $1,300 U.S. Dollars. If you had chosen to end your trade at that point, you would have a $100 gain.

Forex trades can be placed through a broker or market maker. Orders can be placed with just a few clicks and the broker then passes the order along to a partner in the Interbank Market to fill your position. When you close your trade, the broker closes the position on the Interbank Market and credits your account with the loss or gain. This can all happen literally within a few seconds.
India has a rather strict foreign currency exchange policy – even though many liberalization measures have been taken recently, it’s still an economically isolated, or highly protected country. Indian currency – rupee, is highly regulated by the national banking authority – Reserve Bank of India, and so Indian citizens still cannot freely exchange rupee to other currencies, they have to prove their need and there are annual limits for different needs (more). Even popular money transfer systems such as Western Union – which is spread worldwide and available to everyone, are forbidden in India – residents can only receive money, but not send.

However, because of the globalization there is a definite need to open the economy, so Reserve Bank of India has been softening rules and regulations in recent years.

One of the important changes in regards to Forex trading is that in year 2008 Reserve Bank of India has finally allowed currency futures trading. Speculative trading became a permissible operation too – since it became impossible to ask for a proof of a hedging need.
We at Forex4you are happy that one of the biggest and the most perspective country in the world is finally joining the world of opportunities of Forex trading market!
More details are available on the official website of RBI – here.
Note that Indian brokers are only allowed to provide USD/INR pair at the moment. Since we’re located outside India, in British Virgin Islands, we do provide customers with many more pairs, many of which are much more interesting for traders because of their nature. Rupee, being a highly regulated currency, is not as volatile as other currencies and doesn’t allow as much analysis since movements depend on RBI decisions and not on market events.
Our another advantage over brokers registered inside India is that we don’t have any fees or minimum transactions/deposits. Services are much more affordable at our company!
How You Make Money Trading Forex
In the FX market, you buy or sell currencies. Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple: the mechanics of a trade are very similar to those found in other markets (like the stock market), so if you have any experience in trading, you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.
The object of Forex trading is to exchange one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change, so that the currency you bought will increase in value compared to the one you sold.
An exchange rate is simply the ratio of one currency valued against another currency. For example, the USD/CHF exchange rate indicates how many U.S. Dollars can purchase one Swiss franc, or how many Swiss francs you need to buy one U.S. Dollar.

How to Read an FX Quote

Currencies are always quoted in pairs, such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY. The reason they are quoted in pairs is because in every foreign exchange transaction you are simultaneously buying one currency and selling another. Here is an example of a foreign exchange rate for the British pound versus the U.S. Dollar:

GBP/USD = 1.7500

The first listed currency to the left of the slash (“/”) is known as the base currency (in this example, the British pound), while the second one on the right is called the counter or quote currency (in this example, the U.S. Dollar).

When buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you have to pay in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you have to pay 1.7500 U.S. Dollar to buy 1 British pound.

When selling, the exchange rate tells you how many units of the quote currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you will receive 1.7500 U.S. Dollars when you sell 1 British pound.
YOU SHOULD DEMO TRADE FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PUTTING REAL MONEY ON THE LINE.

The first thing that people who will be wealthy in the future learn is budgeting. This means delayed gratification. That means that the skills that would put you into being a successful forex trader, discipline and delayed gratification do not meld well with your desire for a Lamborghini. Your lack of study focus and ability also means you lack discipline. Since you can’t master basic stuff at the high school level you will never master such nuance based issues as are present in the forex or stock market.

If you come from modest roots, you have to learn such skills if you ever hope to be wealthy. I know it is possible to go from noggin head idiot to successful millionaire, but it will take discipline. A skill you apparently lack and are unwilling to develop at this time .

Before you waste your seed corn on investments you might consider using a “simulated” portfolio on Yahoo finance where you can test your skills and measure your competence. The market will be choppy for the next 6 months…give it a try and see if you would have made money or lost your fortune.

Forex Guide answers:

After some information gathering, I have a feeling every forex broker is evil since we have conflicting interests. They trade against us. They wish us to lose. They make many fabrications in order to deceive you, and so on.

List all the reasons why the claim is valid

False Advertising & Fabrications: – “No commissions” is plainly deceiving
Brokers deceive you about there being no commissions. $30 minimum/round turn (called the spread) is in reality a commission that eats up your capital at an astonishing rate. Even winning traders lose money and end up with negative results because of this outlandish overhead. Trading futures, you should never have to pay a broker more than $10/round turn, and usually quite a bit less than that.

- The truth about guaranteed fills: True but¡K The only way a broker can guarantee fills is for the broker to become the buyer or seller of last resort. That means the broker is running a bucket shop. All forex brokers are the buyer and seller of last resort.

- Lying about the volume: Brokers do not tell the truth about volume. They show the volume for all forex trading, which doesn’t even come close to the volume they truly have at their own brokerage, which is where you are trading. Volume in currency futures is considerably higher than the volume traded at any single forex broker, often greater by a factor of ten.

Defraud of your money

- Leaning: Brokers say they are charging you a 3 pip spread to trade the popular currency pairs. But in reality a broker may be making as much or more than 10 pips on your trades. He does this by skewing prices. Since you are not trading at an exchange, the broker can feed you any price he wants to feed you. He can buy at the bank for perhaps 7 pips less than he sells to you. He then charges you 3 pips for the privilege of being ripped off for a total of 10 pips.

- Skewing price quotation
What is the true price? A forex broker can only give you the price of a currency as quoted to him by the bank through which he trades. Banks have differing prices for a currency. You never know what the real price is because there is no central exchange through which all prices flow. Besides not knowing the true price from the bank, you can also be deceived by “leaning” or “skewing” of the real price at the bank. Forex brokers commonly lean the prices.

- Immoral Stop Running/Hunting
You are told by forex brokers that there is little or no stop running. This is one of their biggest and boldest fabrications. The truth is there is far more stop running in forex than in futures, and possibly as much stop running as in the stock market. I have friends who work in forex as well as many traders who of necessity have to trade forex. One of my students is a market maker in forex. These are people who should know, but in case you don’t want to believe me or them, simple observation of forex trading will reveal the vast amount of stop running that takes place there. Who is it that runs the stops? Why it is your friendly forex broker. The broker has a vested interest in seeing to it that your orders are filled. Stop running is nothing more than order filling. The broker sees to it that everybody’s order gets filled.

- Wipe you out by “false” spike: Sometimes, there’s very quick spike in candlestick on a broker’s chart, but there is nothing happening on the others’ chart. A stop-loss is triggered simply due to that suspicious spike.

- ban you if you can win their money: Probably you have heard that if you are winning regularly in forex, you may be barred from trading. Is this true? Yes it is. The fact that it is true is just another proof that when you trade forex you are trading at a bucket shop. In the book, “Reminiscences of a Stock Operator,” we are told that Jesse Livermore was banned from trading at certain stock brokers because they couldn’t stand him beating the house. The same thing is true with many forex brokers. Since they are the ones guaranteeing you a fill, they are in effect the buyer and seller of last resort. The truth is that most forex brokers have precious little liquidity at their firms. In order to give you the impression that there is liquidity, it is the broker who gives you your fill. It is the broker who does the stop running that supposedly doesn’t exist in forex. But if you are regularly beating the socks off the broker, he will ban you from trading at his firm.

Potential Danger about Forex Brokerage Firms
- Unregulated: Forex may sound like an exchange but it isn’t. It exists entirely in cyberspace with every broker and every bank having different prices for any particular currency. There is little or no regulation, even for brokers who register with the CFTC and the NFA. Forex brokers do not have to mark to market each day as do futures brokers. If your forex broker files for bankruptcy or absconds with your money you have zero recourse.

- No guarantee: If

ETFs are cheaper than mutual funds. ETFs have very low annual expenses, nearly 20 basis points or 0.2% less. As against this, actively managed mutual funds show average expenses exceeding 135 basis points (1.35%). This does not include the extra 2% – 5% as loads, 12(b)-1 marketing fees, transactions costs, and soft dollar expenses mutual funds, passed on to you but never informed, except in very fine print that nobody cares to read. ETFs have a lower turnover than most mutual funds. As ETFs do not require active management and hold nearly a steady stream of stocks, there is hardly any portfolio turnover.

Forex Guide answers:

One little piece of the puzzle does not a Plan make.

You’ve left out so much, there’s nowhere to begin. We could guess forever.

What are you using to generate signals?

Which software are you using.

Is your trading experience in the stock market?

If so, one day in the stock market is 6 hrs, but 24 hrs in forex. So a 180 min chart or 90 min chart in forex might be equivaltent to the 30 min used in the stock market.

Trying to trade with the trend? Or momentum? Using moving averages? Stochastics? Pivot Points? Fibonacci?

If I’m trying to trade with the trend, then my first step is to “determine” the trend, and whether all time frames add up. I start with the weekly, then daily, then 240 min, then 90 min.

If not the trend, then maybe a breakout? See, too many questions. Not enough specifics.

The first thing you should do is develop a trading plan. I don’t think you’ve done that, because you can’t develop a Plan without specifics.

Try again.
