"long in spirit" , I prefere forex, more interesting. but soon, will fund my TFSA account go back on stocks am trading and divd. ..... get more cashflow won't hurt anyone lol... Sure, would loveto look at your way
**oups just realize I post the wront picture on crypto ... -_-...
finally posted. Forex is difficult for me to day trade, while long term costs a lot in commission. Most likely would trade futures as well for long term if only had deep enough pockets :) All my analysis are based largely on volumes and market profile, so forex require a lot of adaptation for me. And I don't really know how implement my trading in cryptos yet as well :) so kind of limited in my products for trading.
Well, for forex...I'm not into scalping...there's to much volatility for bad %ROI vs Risk. I left , Futures, due to bad volatility when market broke that last highs. After what, when to stocks, swing, options ( but demand lot's of capital for selling...), ended with Forex , cause I was told, if you learn how to trade forex, you are the "king" lol... but it took me lot's of time to adapt. About a years and half... ended by learning and create my own system and methodology of market. I personally think...there's no best instrument. The key, it's to find what fits your "vision of desire life style"
Most successful traders who I personally know (not online) are also Forex traders. But cost of trading... I just cannot accept it especially if trading something else besides EURUSD, GBPUSD. I remember I hold USDRUB for 4-5 months, it took 50$ for out of 300$ profits. I guess it was 0.1 lot (an equivalent of 1000$), in futures it would cost 8$ for me, but it is also approximately 41 time more (something around 41k$ per contract), so this would turn out to be 2000$ in costs through forex broker. But of course I didn't have enough money to trade this amount in case it would go against me, so the only option was forex for me, as for most retail traders anyway. :)
