In your opinion what is a better way to trade currencies for a living; spot-forex or currency options? Also…?
I am 18 years old and I have been practicing spot-forex trading for several months now with FX Club and I am quite good at it and have learned a lot about currency trading from my demo account and some books and internet article sites on currency & options trading. Its become my passion actually.
I also know something that actually is a secret to FX trading success; the trends are usually long term, lasting from several months to several years meaning you are best to trade for the long term on currency pairs to enjoy the ride of making money. You can’t do this with spot-FX because you are trading on margin and if a trading position is left open too long, you will be wiped out within so long.
What I would like to know is if currency options trading is a good way to trade currency by simple vanilla call & put options as I know that spot-FX is essentially a mugs game? Also is there anybody out there who trades currency options for a living at all? Also, what is an easy to use currency options trading brokerage that can be used by a UK based investor? Please help advise. Thanks.
P.S. Sorry my question is too long.

What is the minimum capital needed for forex, options and futures trading ? Free and recommended simulators ?
Hello guys,
I’m interested in learning more about forex, options and futures trading. I heard that there are mini or micro account that can go as little as US$ 200 or 300 dollar. Is it true ?
Also, any recommendations for free forex, options and futures trading simulators ? I know that some websites provide this service but usually the virtual capital is too high (10K or up), and I want to set the initial capital to small amount like US$ 300 or 500.
If possible, is there any recommendations for courses/books ? I’m not aiming for those "fancy" amount of income, several thousand/month is OK. Of course I’m not looking for courses that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…
Thanks for the input. I agree that it’s a bit too much to expect thousands of returns for such a small amount of capital.
But, if I expect my capital which is around 300 or 500 to be doubled by around 1-2 month. Doesn’t is sound possible ????
My plan is actually something like this :
The capital will be 300 or 500. The goal is to double the capital by around 1 - 2 mounth(s).
When I have more money, I will buy more lots…
To make it safer, every time I manage to double the previous capital, I will do one more time before I plan to use more capital to trade.
It will be something like this (US0 capital) :
500 - 1000 - 1000 (don’t use for trading) - 2000 - 2000(don’t use for trading) - 4000 and so on …
Now the problem is to find the system that are able to do this… Any recommendations ?
I personally distrust systems that cost hundreds or thousands or dollars. There are simply too many scams…

Day trading expectations?
I am going to start trading this summer. Is it too unrealistic to ask for a 1-2 % profit ratio a day? I am with an online brokerage account and the comission fees are a dollar minimum per trade with a penny per share. Transaction costs are basically zero and i wont be using options or trading with margin(unless shorting) so the interest rates wont account for fees either. Are my expectations too high? Mind you im not expecting to profit 2 percent every single day but at least profit more than lose on a 3 times a week basis.
