    Begginner investor here.  I tried Binary options and got sucked in the 60 sec trades.  Ofcourse I lost.  But I'm glad to see binary options have been working out for some of you. Do you guys do 15 min? 30 min or day?

    Looking to get back in it. I just don't know a good binary options broker.  I'm also looking for a good broker in general I see some cappers I respect on here making a killing on shorting gold and oil.

    1.  What's the best broker to go through for commodities, gold and silver?

    2.  What's the best binary options broker for a U.S. resident like myself.

    I have no idea about binary options, I dont trade them and I think the choices of brokers are limited in the US.

    What kind of commodities are you wanting to trade? If it is just gold and silver then you can find many brokers..in fact you can find Forex brokers where you can trade gold and silver. The Forex broker I use has gold and silver vs the USD and many other currencies.

    If you were wanting to trade commodities and futures, well there are many brokers for that too..

    If you were wanting just trade silver and gold and not to buy it and own the physical I would consider the Forex and start investigating those sorts of brokers.

    That's just it wallstreetcappers Forex brokers are rejecting U.S. clients I constantly get re-directed away from the forex sites that come highly recommended because im a resident of the U.S. it sucks.  I'm a rookie and I've accepted that.   And quite simply watching you and alphaomega killing it is really inspirational. Plus there is traders on youtube shorting crude oil futures making close to a $1000 is something I'm trying to learn.

    Wallstreet Cappers is on the money!   Every broker lets you trade gold and silver.   If you are interested in trading wheat, live cattle, coffee, etc, the broker to use is Optionshouse

    Before novembers elections, you can bank you will see Crude oil at or under 80 a barrel, gold under 1,000.

    Also, if you are looking to make money and big money in the near future,  here is what you can expect and thus do..

    No one is going to SELL in December with the mass profits they made because they will have to pay taxes on their gains in february.  So what you can expect to see is after the New Year,  the insiders selling big blocks with hedge funds short selling big blocks.   
    Any short you do right now(orcl, hpq) are excellent stocks to short, will bring you back excellent returns in near future, because orcl will revisit 30 and hpq will tank below 20.
