Hi guys, I'm new to the forum even though I have known Jim Kane for over six years. I was one of his first students with regards to his mentorship program. I have been trading stock and options for over 13 years and futures for over 8 years and have recently wanted to add forex to my trading and have heard some negative things about brokers and the market place when it comes to these unregulated markets. Jim had told me that years ago brokers were trading agaisnt their own customers and for example hitting stops 30 pips away etc. Now that was a few years ago and I'm sure (hope) that things are cleaner these days. But I wanted to get some feedback from the group and what your current experience is trading spot forex and the pros and cons compare to trading futures for example. I'm glad to be part of this forum now and look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas.

Hi tx ches. Yes my CTA business and family (married with 6 kids) has kept me busy for sure, but I honestly didn't know about the members area and I have never really had much interest in trading forumns or the like (I'm lone ranger) but I always enjoyed Jim's monthly commentary on his website.

Then recently just thinking about Jim and how much I missed his commentary and also wondering what he might be up to I came across the members area for the first time and asked Jim if I could have access, so here we are.

I know most of you are probably day traders and I'm more of a swing-position trader but it's nice to see like minded individuals coming together thanks to one person that was willing to share his experience, wisdom and thoughts in this crazy thing we call trading and because of that we have all benefited greatly.
