try derivatives, forgot the term liao. costs a fraction of a share, but with a timeframe attached.

I have Saizen REIT warrants at 0.075. That's the only derivative I have now, and it's time value is zilch somehow because of it's illiquidity.

I have to admit that's quite hard to believe.

At 266k usd annually, you earn more than 97% of the population.

remember what i said about shifts?

he mostly sells what i buys anyways.
the time he gets on the platform is short. but he makes the sells. his time is more ideal to start off with.

Fryderyk HPH SG

not millions.

but couple of a very significant thousands(or rather, tens of it) in a matter of a few short days. and they burst the margin almost straightaway.

that was the days when the USD plummeted like a sinking stone.

USD plummeting is not new. they printed a lot of USD and flooded the market with it. high inflation surely. deficit is said to be USD11 trillions. how not to plummet leh.

eagle SG

The thing is, if you earn, who lost?

Rooney9 SG

earning USD266K trading in forex is hell of a lot of money. it is said that if you dun lose money in forex, it is considered as very good already.

eagle SG

Forex market is promoted as zero-sum game, whereas one trader gains another must lose. In truth, market spread, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs are subtracted from the results of all traders, making forex a "negative-sum" game.

So I still dun understand the mechanics.

Fryderyk HPH SG

eagle, do you borrow your capital from foreign banks?

my mom's korean, so she can borrow parts of her capital from shinhan capital and wooribank.

my dad and bro does trading with loans from Citi and some offshore banks which i wouldn't say.
