Quote from Brass:

I'm not sure I follow. I would think that the higher the leverage, the more precise you would want to be, and forex offers 100-to-1 leverage.



Some shops offer 400-1 leverage. Here in the states, the best we can get is 50-1

Quote from oilfxpro:

There are custom indicators



All indicators do the same thing, they take a chunk of price and interpret that chunk based on some sort of parameters.

The fastest indicator is price. Not saying other indicators do not work, but reading price is by far the fastest way to find out what is going on.

Quote from Brass:

All futures and other derivative trading is zero sum (minus costs)



and that's why it is a negative-sum game.

Make an estimate of how much these "costs" amount in a day on your favorite market ... that's how much market participants collectively lose on a daily basis to exchanges & brokers, and that amount must be put in the market *every day* by the markets participants as a whole.

Well, my account for one, keeps growing. Two pips is a small price to pay for the opportunity to participate in the largest market on earth.

If u picked the right instrument to trade in the right direction , there is capital appreciation in the long run , as well as short term volatility.Long Gold is a prime EXCEPTION to the zero sum game because in the long term it will be higher at $5,000 per oz.

It is more than a zero sum game with gold ,Governments are printing money and honouring I O U 's with new bigger I O U to pay for the old I O U.
