Thanks Ollie for creating this forex forum

Just started looking at forex in the last week and getting to the stage were I need a trading/practise site can anyone recommend sites they have used, there are loads of sites to choose from but would rather use one that comes recommended.
I am looking at Marketiva, they have a facility were you can practise with virtual money and when you ready to start trading you can trade with small amounts of money.

Marketiva.com have a virtual trading feature you can use. I'm also looking to get into forex but am still researching at this stage. It'll be intersting to see how we get on.

Have you checked out forex.com? There is some great free info in the 'Learn' menu.

Hi

www.stockblaster.com is a great site im also reshearching at the moment but this looks good.

I've been doing FOREX for over a year now, I've only traded with the big companies, and I have to say that FXCM tops them all. They have their own bank, and their customer service is second to none.

You should try the mini accounts they offer once you've done your practice. All you need to do it deposit min $300 and then you trade in lots of $50, basically around $1 per pip as you get a leverage of 1:200.

I wouldn't recommend GFTforex. Especially if you're trading in Europe, FXCM makes all the registering and money transfer a breeze.

Lord Gryn, did you learn from FXCM's online course?

No I didn't actually, I just did some reading and did the demo for a bit when I was starting (that was back with GFTForex) then I just transferred to FXCM, I haven't heard anything about the courses that FXCM offers other than what they write on their website so I can't really tell you anything.

LG, are you making good money?

Well I'm on a break now from FOREX, had enough of the stress for a bit.. which is why I'm interested in the HYIPs and autosurfs etc.. But when I was trading I would usually only trade on days where important fundamentals were released and I'd make around 10-20% of my total, or rarely lose about 3-5% on my stops. I don't trust technical data.. Only fundamentals!
