im going to bed now, thanks for the input

Can you even get involved in this shit if you aren't American or rich ? Most brokers don't even let you participate in trading if you don't have enough money.

I can only afford like 200 euros

There are many forex and futures brokers that will allow you to open an account with as little as $300 and then give you ridiculously high leverage

This isn't crypto...

Technical analysis doesn't work.

Are you going to discuss more about why you think it doesn't work?

...

...

Tbqh I'm afraid of forex, I've heard people say its harder than both stocks, commodities and crypto.

For now I will just focus on crypto, but I would really like to get into stocks and commodities

We lets see if we can learn some more about it. but I only started this thread because some others in another thread said they where interested in a forex and futures thread. but nobody is in this thread it's dead here.

I saved it for later. Don't have much to say other than thanks.

This site has helped me a lot with crypto: www.forexabode.com. It is very basic stuff that you could probably find anywhere else, but I like the 1.0 feel.

...

Even /pol/ would be a better place for forex / commodity threads, people here only care about cryptos.

You can open an account on sites like Oanda and FXCM for much less than the $300 you've suggested.

Remember, though, that the more you invest, the more you stand to gain in profits. But the same can be said about losses.
Both the traders I mentioned above and loads others offer free demo accounts so you can practice trading. Learn while practicing on a demo account and you'll be ready to trade live in a few months.

Here's my trading strategy's performance over the past month trading one contract, not including commissions. PnL with commissions would be around $4,000, which is a pretty average month. I have spent about a year developing this on and off. Its designed for /ES, e-mini SP500, however it works on treasury notes and surprisingly also silver. Anything that likes to trade in ranges. I do not have the $5,000 initial margin you need to trade a contract of /ES, but hopefully that will change when my parents sell their house - they promised to give me at least $10,000 to trade with. I have traded simulated accounts in the past, including in the 2017 CME futures challenge and it works like a charm.

Yes but for futures brokers I dont think there are any with less than $300 day margin.
And in the US the government agency that regulates futures has kicked FXCM out of the US. There are only two remaining Gain and Oanda.

There are futures brokers that did offer $300/$400 day trading margin, but there is nothing anybody can do about overnight margin.

See Yes and no. A lot of technical analysis, like all those fancy indicators you see for sale or offered for free on platforms like NT or ToS etc are usually based on averages of the price. They are almost always lagging indicators - indicators that show what the market has done, and they are not necessarily predictive. Trading price action is key to successful technical analysis, which is what I base my strategy on

Could you show me a place? I have never run across anything like that because I'm pretty sure initial base margin is set by the future product's exchange, so for /ES its the Chicago Mercantile Exchange - CME. Not sure what it is right now, but I think its around $4,500 - $5,000 per contract.

...

Right, I forgot about FXCM getting kicked out. I'm not American so it didn't even stick in my mind.

I've never traded futures, not even on a practice account. I only do Forex.

This is what I did today. I mostly do short term trades, get in get out, putting up $1,000 each time. I don't really like doing it this way but since it's a practice account I'm trying out different strategies. Some bad trades and some good lol.

Oh wow, I guess the issue has been I have been using TDAmeritrade as my broker. They do not have an intraday margin, only an initial margin, which is like $4,500 right now.

Yeah places like TDA and IB and so on are only like that.

...

Are there some demo accounts out there for crypto? Or do I have to burn my 50 bucks to get a little practice with altcoins

Matt is pretty active around on different trading forums and as far as I can tell from what I read from his pots he's a really great broker.

...

Why is it either FX or crypto? A lot of FX platforms are showing up that are based on crypto.

...

I love you man, thanks for showing me these!

Probably two of the highest rated futures brokers are probably and pic related.

How do you become a god of options op?

Lots of study and practice and hard work.

...

black holes

Tbh non-crypto stocks are the meme stocks now. Waiting months for 5% loss or gains? Markets that actually close for hours? Competing with algorithms from conputers that have direct lines to exchanges? Why...

this

non-crypto is a dying market

...

...

...

I've worked in binary options, ask me anything.

Leverage, almost entirely against institutional investors. Why, that sounds not retarded at all, user-kun?

Do you fap over your gains?

Pretty low on the totem-pole so my gains weren't all that great. Been offered a better earning position, but didn't take it. Top sales guys were pretty pleased with themselves though.

can I add you somewhere. have some questions regarding BO industries

>can I add you somewhere
If that's aimed at me, then the answer is nope.
I'll answer questions here for about another 45 minutes before leaving. If there's an interest and the thread's still up I'll be back tomorrow same time.

no idea how this replying system works.

anyway.

- Do you play against all the BO brokers? If so all their education bullshit they give you.. makes you doomed to lose? Like going in a trend outside the BB and Rsi etc..
- BO is just one big casino right.. I mean there is no to little room for a trading plan..
- why are most of them cyprus/malta based?
- I assume working there has not been a joyful ride

>Do you play against all the BO brokers?
>BO is just one big casino right
Yes, with each different binary broker you're playing against the house taking bets on the stock market. Any "education" they offer us usually just an excuse to get you to put in more money. General idea is to get you to deposit money then either lock you up with a bonus (especially unregulated binaries do this) or have you lose the money.

They can and do sometimes mess with the price, but don't outright control it. Most common tools are spreads and delays. Worst case I've seen was one account with a 10 pip spread and a 3 second delay. That being said, the person in question actually still managed to make money and withdraw it successfully so it's not unheard of, but I'd say 99% of people lose money on it and your "account managers" are not on your side.

>why are most of them cyprus/malta based?
Most of them are actually based in Israel and the majority are unregulated. Cyprus/Malte have very loose requirements for giving out licenses so if you can get licensed there then your license will apply to the entire EU whereas if you're a shady company you might not get licensed in the UK, but you can still use your Cyprus license in the UK.

>I assume working there has not been a joyful ride
That'd be correct.

>spreads and delays
Just to clarify: by delay I mean delays on placing the trade so you get a good price, but then the actual trade is placed after you hit place trade and the price moves to one that might not be favorable.

That being said there are sometimes also delays in trades expiring. If you've ever traded on any broker powered by SpotOption you might see your trade "validating" at the end of it's expiry which is also just a tool for the trade to go OTM it it can.

Thank you for answering. I had had various of the experiences you mentioned. Which was an indication for me that this is ome big scam. I will just stick to forex en technical analysis. Hands down it worked the best.
Maybe I have more questions tomorrow. Thanks maye!

do you think cfd platforms like cmc are this shady?

>cfd platforms like cmc
I have no idea what this means so I'm going to admit my ignorance here. What I do know for a fact is that SpotOption specifically is shady as fuck and that some binary brokers have developed their own platforms so they can cut out SpotOption as the "market maker."

I don't know much about forex, but what I do know is that it was one of the bigger scam industries in Israel until around 2007-2008 when many Israeli forex companies switched to binary because it was more lucrative, but since about a year or a year and a half binary companies started switching back to forex because after a series of expose articles binary is attracting too much unwanted attention from authorities and media.

Take that as you will

I can understand most of these points, but, I will say, I really enjoy the fact that the markets are closed. For me, it is like a built in vacation and know that while they are closed, there are no other trades to be made.

is this like analog crypto or something?

It's like playing crypto but on Veteran mode.

How do I get access to this data to try this out and see if it's useful?

...

...

they're not brokers, they're bucket shops...

>I have traded simulated accounts

that is rather moot, you don't know it works until you trade it live - are you crossing the spread each time you place a trade or do you place limit orders. How does your sim deal with queue position, does it simulate any slippage?

if it gets you 5k a month consistently when live then that is great and hopefully you can scale it up and start making 50k a month... in reality very very few people can do this and you might have to accept that trading live is a different ball game

not really - they're just popular among people with limited capital, optimus is an introducing broker, AMP is a clearer... in fact you can open an account with optimus and clear through AMP

do you even know much about the microstructure of your crypto exchanges, do they have different rules for liquidity providers? who owns the liquidity providers? How do you know that you're not competing against HFT/market makers at those exchanges with special privileges - at least on a public exchange the things are regulated and if someone can pay more for colocation then so can everyone else

the forex scam is run by (((them))).
haaretz.com/israel-news/business/1.744603

I knew they all are IBs. But I didnt know you can open account with the fcm and also link with your account with the IB.

yes, they're better regulated but they're still essentially bucket shops with all the inherent conflicts of interest that carries

Yep
youtube.com/watch?v=L7G0OfJUON8

These are seriously important questions.

the forex scammers are now entring heavily into cryptos

dude, exchange owners are scammers. There is no rule no regulation, of course you are competing against HFT and market makers which special privileges. they can also delay payments or the real price for a few seconds, enough for you to lose.

they're not all IBs, optimus is, AMP isn't

you can open an account with optimus and end up clearing through AMP, you don't open a separate account, optimus isn't a clearer ergo when you open an account with them you will chose where to use AMP or one of another bunch of clearers they have a relationship with

I know that, I thought you where saying something like you could have a linked account with both.

...

...

that doesn't answer the questions unfortunately
