Hi Louis!
 
I'm getting into FOREX, for several reasons..
 
I can control the risk I want to take on any trade. (a biggie for those on limited trade portfolios)
I only have to keep track of a few pairs to stay busy.
Leverage makes up for the limited absolute movement.
No gaps to speak of.
Trade anytime.
AND....  Demo trading is the norm with excellent trading platforms with lots of software written for them. 
Not as powerful as AB, of course, but most brokers do a good job of summarizing the trade stats.
 
I know of one fellow who claims to make 5% a day..  (that would be nice!)

Subject: [amibroker] Futures or stocks?

Hi group,

The last thread which I started really helped me to realize a lot of things, one of them is that Brian is right when he says I am sipping the soup on a lot of tables but never stay for the meal.

I'd like change that.

I would like to concentrate on a particular kind of market (actions or futures) and a particular timeframe (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, daily,etc).

I know I may get zillions of different responses, but what do you consider to be the more promising?

I've read that more and more people consider futures are the future (haha!) because of the high volatility and trading opportunities.  Is this true?  If yes, how much money do I need to trade them?  I've heard you need a lot!  And do I need to be there watching for 24 hours a day?  And what about stocks and ETF?   I'd like to read some people opinion about what they consider to be the most promising way...

Of course, I won't start threads like this every two days!  ;-)   I'm just really thinking about this all and am tired to switch markets, timeframe, strategies, plans, all the time.  I'd like to choose something and stay with it.  But I want to choose what's most promising!

Thanks!

Louis
