Currently at the time of writing I am 18 years of age and I have been practicing stock, commodity and currency trading in several different practice accounts. What I have discovered is that I am best at currency trading and I make the most money out of trading that way. With stocks and commodities I have had moderate successes but I’m better at FX trading than anything else and I’ve learned a lot too.
Currently at the time of writing I am 18 years of age and I have been practicing stock, commodity and currency trading in several different practice accounts. What I have discovered is that I am best at currency trading and I make the most money out of trading that way. With stocks and commodities I have had moderate successes but I’m better at FX trading than anything else and I’ve learned a lot too.
I also know that currency tends to trend long term such as a few months to a few years which is where currency options are best suited. Spot-forex trading on the other hand is traded on margin and is best suited to short term trading of the FX markets.
I have only had practice trading FX in spot-forex and spread betting, both of which had a return of several hundred percent. What I would like to know is what is the best way to trade forex out of currency options, spread betting or spot FX, and which is best suited to a UK resident to gain wealth? Please help/advise. Thanks.
P.S. Sorry its so long.

Can somebody help me out here….I am not trading on margin, but I got a margin call today saying it was generated yesterday for about $65 and is due today. Do I have to meet that? I mean-I’m no longer
classified as being a patterned day trader. I don’t want to call the
broker because I no longer have the funds when I started and I don’t
want to loose my $3 per trade fee since I am no longer day trading. In
other words I don’t want to alert them. “Account margin equity falls below FINRA minimum maintenance
requirements.”

Qw Q asked:
I am going to start trading this summer. Is it too unrealistic to ask for a 1-2 % profit ratio a day? I am with an online brokerage account and the comission fees are a dollar minimum per trade with a penny per share. Transaction costs are basically zero and i wont be using options or trading with margin(unless shorting) so the interest rates wont account for fees either. Are my expectations too high? Mind you im not expecting to profit 2 percent every single day but at least profit more than lose on a 3 times a week basis.
