My offshore broker lets me trade CFDs. Looks like I'll be doing that till I feel comfortable with the futures contracts risk. I hate how the barrier to enter the futures market (very high minimum risk) or day trading stocks (high deposit) is so ...
Trading NQ and SP500 vs the Dow
- trickshady replied Sep 20, 2017
I found brokers with low day trading margins but that isn't actually the problem. My problem is the value per tick. A futures contract is $5 a tick on the NQ. I'm looking for $1 a tick and less which would be 1/5 or less of a contract. Is that even ...

I am in the US but I use offshore broker for CFD. Can you tell me which US futures broker allows such low margins and how much is a tick worth? You are so right about bias and confusion. Today I decided to drop YM and go with NQ. NQ and GC have no ...

Thank you so much for this detailed reply calaxcorp. I currently trade NQ and YM on CFD since risking $5 a point is too much for me. I will eventually move to the futures market once I feel comfortable with the risk. I have noticed that ES is least ...

Bitcoin CFD is a ripoff just like any other CFD. If you don't want to invest a few thousands then CFD could work for you until you are ready to put more money and then move to an exchange. For me the cons of all CFDs are the costs of trades. It's ...

If bitcoin becomes a standard and global currency then right now it's dirt cheap. In this case it will reach $100k+ per bitcoin lol.
Why are currencies more random than other instruments?
- trickshady replied Aug 12, 2017
I think they are random because they seem to happen very suddenly for no obvious reason. Now that few people have mentioned about manipulation maybe these random moves are pure manipulation. I have also not seen that kind of activity with such an ...
Why are currencies more random than other instruments?
- trickshady replied Aug 11, 2017
Quickly, can you expand more on that? Are you saying forex is the most manipulated market of them all? It's the largest one and it requires significantly more money to manipulate. Or because it has no regulation are you saying these random spikes ...

Yes it blows my mind how terrible this broker is. Try marketscope demo. During the slightest increase in volatility they hype up spreads hard and it does not show on the spread tab. If price moves like 10 pips in 2-3 sec they will increase spread. ...

I highly recommend FXCM marketscope DEMO for charting only. That's the best thing this scam of a broker has ever come out with. I do NOT recommend the demo for practicing as it's as garbage as the live account. These guys turn you off just by trying ...
