How does Trading Work? I can say you that take a look at this site ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) may be it can help you. It 's one of the best course about trading. It seems like Trading is almost totally based on Macro-economics. It also strikes me that since there are not nearly as many currencies as there are stocks/bonds/derivatives etc etc, there must be a large number of market players in each currency bracket. So logically, currencies must be very liquid true? Also, what is the risk of Currency trading, high or low? When I read the business section every day I notice that the Canadian loonie moves hardly a tenth of a cent on a regular basis (in comparison to the US dollar). So it seems like theres very little room for growth in currencies unless you leverage. On that note, whats the maximum leverage permitted for forex trading. I know in stocks its x2, and in derivatives its x10. Anyway the only way to know how to start a profitable buisness is by following some methods like the one that I suggested.

You can use any major brokerage firm's site for market information, all the sites are free of charge however in the event you do a transaction their charges may differ

Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade.

It seems that the most popular firms for on-line investing all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas.Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E-Trade and Thinkorswim.

Please remember, the cheapest is not always the best.

Cheap is not a good criteria for selecting a brokerage firm, you should be looking at the firm's trading platform, their services and the type of business they are doing. If you want cheap, go to Sharebuilder but if you want good you go elsewhere.

For buisiness reason I use Fidelity for investment trades but for trading I use Scottrade & Ameritrade, and for options

I use Thinkorswim. But you must decide what's best for you not what's best for someone else.

Currently, I have an amount of 60K in my savings account. I haven't touched it ever for future purposes. I am a finance college student and we mostly tackle about stocks or your share in a company if you invest. I tried searching in the net but the starting fee is worth 5K, which is too expensive. :(

Do you know any stock exchange site which is free or at least less than 5K? I lived in Philippines and wants to invest as young as I am(19age)
