Lo! I think I forgot to quote slowdown's words for the recent post:

Quote from slowdown:

you should put this sticky thread on top of trading... i don't think this forum gets that many eyeballs....

---

I agree with you, slowdown. If more people read this, a lot of questions can be answered. Also, maybe it will make us better traders or maybe not. After all, theoretical knowledge is different from practical.

We read and are not able to put in practice, so we blame the authors for trying to fool us of our money.

Hey guys My name is Christian and I am from Singapore. I was intrested in Eurex Trading and Forex trading as well. I am very new to trading and was wondering if someone can give me tips and pointers. I wasn't sure which way to go because I was also thinking about trading the NYSE. Maybe someone can help tell me which is the better way to go Eurex, Forex, NYSE. This is because I am not in the U.S. and I am not sure how trading the NYSE and Forex works out for people abroad. Is there anybody here who is not in the US and trades the NYSE or the Forex markets i would really appreciate if you could tell me your experience

b) Forex Brokers (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/forum...p?s=&forumid=47)

I came across this site and it is very helpful for new traders... it provides a lot of information about other sites. Also, don't get mislead by the name, it is not just for forex.

What if I want to became a Quant, or develop some models to backtest and stuff... I'm clueless about this, I hold a degree in finance, I'm trading for a major regional bank but I'm clueless about developing models and that stuff and I really don't know what I should do to start. Any word of advice? thanks
