Hi there
Just got off the Tenkofx competition. Can someone clarify the position granted to the 10th position contestant.
How is in that position with a negative balance.
I am a manual scalper and i have employed the same trading style in the competition.

I have taught one or two new traders in the past, and I can make life a little easier on you. First learn systemic (a branch of fundamental trading) before going on to the various technical trading system. Fundamentals give you a good solid background so when you have a snafu with your technical trading, you will have some idea of what you can do to protect your account.
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of books written on fundamentals for the forex market so I wrote a text book but I can't give you a copy because I gave it to Mary to sell or what ever she wants to do with it. It's on the thesafeinvestor.com and there is a free book to help you get started, same place. But I bet there are some other books on fundamentals still available, maybe some of the others know some of them.
The problem is that the forex market is only 14 years old. When it started, no one knew anything, we had to find out ourselves. So the training stuff is a little scarce but that shouldn't keep you from looking. Read everything before you start to demo trade, then demo until you know exactly what you are doing.
If you ask yourself the question, am I ready to go live? The answer is, no. When you ask yourself why are you wasting time with these demo's you already know everything and nothing new has happened in a month and this is just plain boring, now you may be ready to go live.
More free info at forex-assistant.com Nothing too buy there so take your time and do some reading. Also check out the library on ThesafeInvestor.com Except for 'Robotic Investing' I think just about everything else is free, but don't hold me to that, I just can't remember. OK good luck, now go start reading.

The problem here is a definition of terms. Certainly the forex as a conduit of currency began when Nixon took the world off of the fixed rate established after WW2. But that was only for big volume traders, banks and stuff.
Oanda was the first forex broker to accept small traders in 2001, so though the new forex spot market existed on paper as an authorization of congress, (US) it didn't really take form until there was a broker to offer it. Up until that time the forex market (Foreign Exchange at that time) was largely in the futures market. Way different animal. And in 2001, the minimum to open an account was something like $250,000. Prior to that small time traders (Non sophisticated traders) were not allowed to trade.
So in a sense, the forex spot market did exist for some, prior to 2001 but not for us. Unless of course, you were a bank.
