General inquiry on stock trading/share holding

[Warrior666]

I by no means think I know even 1/4 of what there is to know about trading, I still partially equate it to gambling, but have been toying around with an avafx trading platform and I like it (haven't started using real money yet, but damn I wish I had

The intelligent thing to do would be invest your "real money" in education, if you wanna gamble, hit a casino, it's more fun, they also give you free drinks if you make them happy, as in, losing a lot. Use your services as leverage, there's lots of lonely, miserable, successful traders with winning track records, learn everything you can from them, find a mentor as well, somebody who is where you want to be in the future.

If you play it smart, treat it like a business, have a business plan drawn out, as in what to do in every market condition, trading rules to follow no matter what, while keepping the emotions out of it, completely, you'll make enough money so that you'll be able to fuck for pleasure and choice, versus the desperation of paying bills and vices.

Best of Luck !!!

Here is the investing thread that Candice posted a bit more than a year ago.

Hello gentlemen, and ladies!

I by no means think I know even 1/4 of what there is to know about trading, I still partially equate it to gambling, but have been toying around with an avafx trading platform and I like it (haven't started using real money yet, but damn I wish I had) I had wanted to ask if anyone wanted to chat, or had any advice on actually breaking into the market, forex trading vs stocks, general advice and direction, etc.

Thanks in advance everyone

No reply from Candice. I'm curious as to what she eventually did?

Yes, I am also curious. I guess I never responded on this thread as it was so old and I haven't been around here that long but I do find the Forex market to be one of easiest to trade and make consistent profits. At the same time I'd have to point out that many of the Forex brokers out there are not unlike online poker sites for the people that use them. There is Forex and then there is real Forex. The first kind (the wrong kind) the broker gives you an inconsistent spread between the bid and the ask (fudged, not real) and robs you on every trade. Particularly the commission free ones are anything but commission free. Of course they (the no commission guys) make no secret that they are not giving you the "real" market and actually executing your trades better than they tell you so they can take some off the top (in the background) which is tantamount to robbery in my opinion. One offered me a free paper trade account and I couldn't believe the difference between them and the "real" market. I would execute the same trades with them I did for real (with a real account) and there would $400 in the difference. That's a pretty high commission. Of course if you have any sense of risk management you can still make a ton of money with these guys (even if they are cheating you out of $400 on every trade) so they have lots of happy customers that don't know the difference.

My broker provides the best bid/offer available from multiple banks and liquidity providers. They pass through the prices that they receive and charges a separate low commission. They do this in the interest of providing a transparent pricing structure instead of marking up their quotes and charging nothing in commissions as is the practice with many forex brokers.
