At the moment I'm just breaking even.<br /><br />Anyhow, I have opened a account with FXCM Micro. At the moment, I'm trading using their demo account. Still trying to get the feel of the currency movements.

It mentioned about <a href="http://www.phlx.com/products/wcospecs-s.aspx">Phlx World Currency Options</a>. I didn't know about this! Cool, now I can trade in currencies because the amount needed is really small. All this while currency trading is out of my reach because of the required margin. So, I can now diversify my trading into equities and currencies.<br /><br />But first, I need to study the charts for the available 6 pairs of options. Got to see whether my indicators still work for currency.swifzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08690485820518235097noreply@blogger.com0
