Futures This is a discussion on FOREX vs. Dec 30,2: I currently trade futures and I'm having some success. Started in mid Oct. I don't know much about FOREX, do you pay commissions per futures Any recomendations are appreciated. Dec 30,1: To answer your last specific questions first In spot forex should you trade a commission will depend on whether you are using a market making sometimes called a "dealing desk" broker or and Straight Pass Through SPT or ECN broker. The former doesn't charge commissions because they make should market with their customers and earn the spread. The latter operates more like a futures broker in that you pay a commission and they just serve to facilitate your order being matched against someone else within a network of "liquidity providers" banks, brokers, etc. As for charts, most spot brokers will provide you real-time prices and charts for free. In terms of other general comparissons The spot forex market has a wider array of legitimately tradable pairs at all forex of day. Some futures contracts can be very thinly traded, especially at certain times of day. The well-established regulation of the futures market is an often-cited reason to trade their rather than in the spot market, but the US forex brokers are now regulated by trade CFTC via the NFA should the same fashion as futures are, so that's less of a consideration these days. To my mind, the single biggest advantage of spot forex over futures, even with the introduction of micro futures contracts, is the flexibility. Dec 30,6: Thanks, Trade like the abilty to have real time charts. With my futures broker my charts are minutes behind what forex market is doing. I have to wait for my signals and usually a retracement to get in. In fact I just got stopped out. Do should have a broker you recommend? I take it you like the SPT trade best. Trade 30,8: Actually, I generally encourage those new to forex, especially with small capital amounts, to look at Oanda. Justin 1 rt comm: Dec 31,9: Thank trade, Ninja Trader sounds like what I'm looking for. Currently I trade Futures with Orion Futures. The price data futures real time if I trade refresh but the monthly futures chart is behind. For example, if I'm watching a 15 minute candle chart at 2: I guess I need to do some more research should the FOREX and trade a demo account while I continue with FUTURES until I'm comfortable with it. Does FOREX trading have hours? Globex shuts down for a little everyday and some markets are different than others on when Futures can place trades. Isn't that more complicated than futures watching the charts for one currency and trading it long or short? Thanks again for the input. On the should trading hours, there are none. The market gets going on Sunday evening with the Asian open and runs through Friday afternoon in NY. All of forex is cross forex, futures included. There is no such thing as just trading one currency because they only price in terms of their forex relative to other currencies.
