ANYWAYs, now that the looney is gone, how is everyone else doing on forex? I came back from a 2,500 dollar deficit today to now be 420 dollars above where I started, after I figured out a few strategies. So since the deficit, I've made about 3000 dollars today. If anyone else uses FXgame, see the "XAU/USD" and "XAG/USD"? XAU is gold, and XAG is silver. I made almost half of my 3,000 today on the fluctuations of gold prices. Overall, about 8-10 straight positive trades.
ProTip: what goes up, always comes down, so examine the chart and see whether you're in a high and low phase. Use the stachostic oscillator to predict an upcoming market trend. Most important: BUY LOW, SELL HIGH. And patience is the key, because what goes up, always comes back down at some point. That's true for the reverse too. Just don't bail immediately because of an initial loss. In fact, I quit putting stop-losses on my trades, and now I only put take-profits on them, that way if I load up on pips while I'm gone it will sell automatically, but if there's an initial pip deficit it will ride out the storm.
Investing is a bit like surfing: learn how to read the waves (or in this case, the trends) and ride them. Don't get impatient or panic, because there is WAY less of a chance of a country's currency crashing instantly than a company's stock doing so. And in those few chances, they would be due to events that you're going to see on the front page of the paper.
