Forex Trader

[Hermes14]

This forex trading has made me inquisitive but why aren't there any live feeds involving the South Africa rand?
Are there any good books that can give me more information on this subject?

Hermes,

You are asking to gte dopped in pitfalls for the next 12 months.

There's alot fo garbage on the internet relating to forex trading services, automated bots, financial training , 'free' e-books and unreliable traders posting a mere $50 from a $ 5000 account as PROFIT and trying to solicit clients.

The bottom line is, if you want to trade yourselve. dont even bother opena n accoutn for the next 2 years at least.
There's alot fo stuff happening inside capital markets that can't be explain here.
For sintance, each financial insturment have a customer set of strategies to work with.
DKK instruments have a ROI of months, where gold is daily.

Now they want to sell nonsense to tell you that it all can be done in MILLISECONDS ... right.

Unfortunately it's very simple for these fakers to advertise / spam these related indirect concerns to the general public.

Word of advise, there are 4 regulators dealing with Forex Brokers.
Only deal with them if they have a VALID certificate number that you can search for on the internet. for instance National Futures Association.

once there, doa search on court appearances. it's not uncommon that companies drops on a daily basis due to various Compliance regulations.

Aside from that, if you use a professional trader to perform trading for you. This is probably the safest way. as they can define executions far better than thumb sucking it.


In regards with Live feeds in South African rands, you can get the current exchange rate from any currency outlet , bank , etc. online.
For other specialised services, it's possible t work througha capital markets financial institude.

There's lots of books. your best bet is to look for the not so famous books that's not advertised on google.
Look at kindle / amazon as example.

Alternatively, just bug me with a priv and i'll respond to questions relationg to fx from time to time.

If it was a few millions; i wouldn't care putting in alot of interest to adhere to the right path.
But it's not uncommon that some forex traders gets liquidated by the local banks for whatever reasons ...
