The FOREX markets, the most liquid in the world, are now as easy to access for the man on the street as stocks or mutual funds. Strike that. They're easier to access than stocks or mutual fund. I trade with FX Solutions, LLC, a registered FCM. You can find them at www.fxsol.com. Their trading platform is easy to use and their charting package is excellent. You can go to their site and sign up for a free demo which is funded with $10,000 of initial "trading capital". FYI, this is not a solicitation for FX Solutions and, as of right now, I have no professional relationship with the firm. As always, only risk capital should be used when trading in highly leveraged markets such as the FOREX markets.
For those of you who enjoy trading these markets are certainly worth looking at. I can tell you from personal experience that the FOREX markets tend to develop very nice trends which is what every trendfollower is looking for.
Give it a try. It's educational, it's entertaining, and you just may find it to be profitable as well.
