Hi SG. I too am leary of the equity markets. My trading account is down 66% since I started trading using TA as recommended on this board. It seems I get a good entry point according to the indicators, only to watch them fail and reverse. It's almost like they know what we are doing, give us the "set-up" then head fake and go the other way so fast you can't even enter in your sell order before you've taken a loss.
Question: Why FOREX? Why not trade other highly traded commodities like gold, silver, or even soft commodities like coffee, cocoa, etc. The reason I asked is that I have noticed that coffee (for example) is at or very near it's 2 year low. Why limit youself to currencies? Max.
