Commentary on Trading Post and the Online Trading Industry

The Tunnel Visioned Nature of Forex Traders

I'm sure most Forex traders, especially those who have recently entered the market (in the past five years) explain that they only trade the Forex market because it's the best market to trade (then they'll share the reasons of largest market, leverage, etc, etc.).

You see the hype of Forex, as do I. You don't have to look far. Just Google something like Forex Profits.

The point that I'm learning more and more everyday is that there is so much that trading other markets have to offer you only have to be open to seeing what trading other markets has to offer.

I'm really, personally quite smitten by equities. Forex ISN'T where it's all at trading wise, and I'm glad I've seen the light.

My association with Marathon Alliance has also greatly helped in this. The most recent post has a thought on trading the news from a non-FX point of view.

And I do have to go back to my experience at Bright Trading last week that left me wanting to go trade for a proprietary equities trading firm.
