Hello and a big Welcome to Traders Lab.

 

Thanks for coming around and be sure you actively participate in the conversation -- there's no better way to maximize your time here.

 

Maybe a good idea would be to write about the differences between the first time when you blew out your forex account - quite common - and this time around where so far you're seeing some success.

Greetings,

 

I've never traded before and I'm looking for recomm on a trading platform. Downloaded Investor RT but found it hard to use. Also evaluating UPDATA (nice so far). How does a newbee know when he comes across a good system? Not sure what to look for. I'm not interested in day trading. Looking to hold positions 1 week or longer. Just interested in price and volume analysis (for now).

 

After reading several books on trading, its now time to start trading. Any recomm is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Salut Mario,

 

IIt-i doresc mult noroc. Trimite-mi un PM daca ai vreo intrebare. Eu sunt un Australian dar parantii mei sunt Romani din Bucuresti. In Australia eu sunt un agent de bursa si ma ocup mai mult cu actiuni dar stiu si eu despre Forex ca am fost un trader la un fond.

Please advise waht are the best steps to start leaning about markets and investing. I investview good?

 

That's a tall order. :) I would say start reading a lot to discover what type of trading or investing you are interested in. Consider how much capital you are willing to commit and thus, lose. Buuild, test and refine a trading plan while tading in a simulated account. Be sure to also read about money management and trading psychology. Never use real money until you prove your worth in a simulated account.

Thanks, Jeff for your advise. Any program recomended for training out there?

 

You can use TradeStation and trade a simulated account. You can use Options Express as well. I'm sure there are others as well. But those are the ones I know about.

check out TOS (Think or swim)... it's FREE and you can get realtime data with a funded account.

 

nice because they have almost every indicator imaginable, their own realtime data feed, "on demand" so you can practice trades based on historical data... plenty of tutorials, videos, etc.... their tech support is pretty good too.

 

i use them and then Interactive Brokers (IB) TWS as a backup... i do not use TOS's brokerage though (high commishes) and actually place my trades with IB (very low commishes).

 

as for complicated... well, i haven't used a platform yet that didn't come with a learning curve.

 

good luck
