FOREX Trading Webinar review
Thanks to everyone who attended today’s FOREX Webinar!
We all learned a lot about how easy it is to trade our methods on both Futures and FOREX.
We have posted a full copy of the video recording, and the very detailed notes with all your questions in the Advanced Section of our website. Please log in and watch the recorded session and review the notes.
I think the most important thing we learned today were the best questions to ASK your future FOREX broker.
With the recent concerns over broker-solvency in FOREX we learned all the important questions that we need to ask to proactive and educated consumers.
Questions to Ask your FOREX Broker:
- Regulation
- Are you registered with the NFA/SEC in the United States?
- Are you registered as a Forex Broker, Futures Broker, or Both?
- Have any disciplinary actions been filed against you in the past?
- Is my trade account being held in a ‘customer segregated account’?
- Data & Spreads
- Who will be my data-provider?
- Who is your liquidity provider?
- Do your spreads and/or margins change when I trade Mini-Lots?
- In addition to the spread, will there be any added costs or fees per trade?
- Trading & Fills
- How do you fill my order?
- Deal-Desk
- ECN
- Straight-through-Processing
- Margins
- If I hold a trade overnight or over the weekend, what is the interest on the ‘carry’?
- Does your system take me out of a position if my account is about to go into the red?
