    hey guys,

    well i started trading in a practice account and i made $91.00 in about 1 min. soon after i  made another trade and lost a few dollars without any idea of what im doing. i am becoming more and more farmiliar though so i am in this for the long haul. a rep from forex called me and helped me understand a few things but im still in the dark as far as the basics are concerned. you buy low and sell high during a good period or trend period. so far thats all i know as far as a stratgey goes but i havent seen anything that looked lower on the  buy price as opposed to the sell price in order to cash in. if you guys would be so kind to help walk a great 66% hadicapper and trading dummy through this i would be very greatful. i just need the basic stratagey and what to look for and why. as far as the news and day to day volitility goes im sure there are days it might not be a good idea to trade and better to lay off. almost like a bad betting board in sports. any help is appreciated fellas.. thanks alot bucknuts for bringing this to my attention and also icemantbi & nghis1973. i scheduled a webinar for myself on thurs at 1:00 pm but i would like to hear from you guys just as much on the questions i will have.

    hey bluesplayer,
     
    I just started off with a practice account too.  Basically, I just look for the waves, I get in and get out.  I've been pretty successful doing that.  Bucknuts has a good system in place where he watches the lines and makes plays based on that.  But for me it's just about finding the waves and riding them up or down.  Since I started practice trading, I've made close to $2,000 virtual dollars, The real key is to not get greedy, when you make 50 pips, or when you see the wave start to dip and turn, get out and take the profits.  You can always get back in later on.
     
    Hope this helps, I'm a newbie too.  I'm looking at starting a mini account now, but I'd stick with the practice account until you get comfortable with it, and can make consistent profits.

    Actually, I have found success based on the 5 minute charts.  That way, you can profit on the very small bumps that happen.  Of course, I look at 4 hour charts as well, as a general indicator of where a certain currency is going.  But my successful trades have all been less than 30 minutes, last night I profited on  couple trades, both of which lasted a mere 7 10 minutes.

    I gotta ask, what technical indicators, patterns (like the head and shoulder or the Elliot wave), candlestick patterns, or oscillators do you guys use in your system?

    i see...

    i tried a trade today and i made 91.00 usd in 2 min without knowing anything at all but looking at the realized gain or loss section. when it reached near 90.00 dollars i sold and i made out a bit but then i tried another without doing any research and lost 130.00 and ended up -44 total. granted i have less than 3 hours experience at this and i know very little but im already catching on i just need to get the routine down for making a good trade, without guessing but actually knowing what the hell im doing. thanks for filling me in..

    im sure ill have more questions to bother you with soon...but ill be patient and keep learning as much as i can on my own, so hopefully i wont have to constantly bother everybody and just make some coin instead.

    i see...

    i tried a trade today and i made 91.00 usd in 2 min without knowing anything at all but looking at the realized gain or loss section. when it reached near 90.00 dollars i sold and i made out a bit but then i tried another without doing any research and lost 130.00 and ended up -44 total. granted i have less than 3 hours experience at this and i know very little but im already catching on i just need to get the routine down for making a good trade, without guessing but actually knowing what the hell im doing. thanks for filling me in..

    im sure ill have more questions to bother you with soon...but ill be patient and keep learning as much as i can on my own, so hopefully i wont have to constantly bother everybody and just make some coin instead.
