Is online currency trading at Forex true trading or it is a kind of deceiving?
There is such a thing as forex trading but the broker you chose could be deceiving. Trust me don’t do it because if speculate right, you make a lot of money with such little money, but if you speculate wrong, you could wind up losing a lot of money.

Please read the entire question, as there are multiple parts to it. Thanks!
I lost around $25k in 2009 trading online foreign currency at interbankfx. I also lost almost $1k playing stocks (I know..I have no future as an investor). I’m hoping to get some of that money back.
I am using HRBlocks premium edition to enter the losses. I want to offset the $100k I made this year with the $25k in losses on the forex. From what I’ve read, I can just put a cumulative (total) amount on line 21 on my 1040 under "other income" as a negative amount. Is there a sub category that classifies this debt/loss, because I can’t enter anything directly into line 21 with HRBlock "premium"? Also, will the IRS automatically assume that I am filing the loss under section 988, or do I need to select that somewhere and include some additional forms? My understanding is that is the default way to report gains/losses unless you specifically opt out of that section and tell the IRS you want to file under section 1256?
Does the fact that I am claiming these big losses on the forex affect my ability to claim the $1k losses from the stocks/options trading. I’m reporting that on a line by line basis on 1099-B? I have two trading accounts. I have one that was just a normal trading account, and the other is my roth IRA. Should I also report my losses from my roth IRA under 1099-B?
Here’s what I "think" is correct way to file my taxes…I assume that since I should be able to claim all the stock losses under 1099-B (both regular trading account and my IRA), and I should also be able to provide a cumulative total for all of my losses from my 2009 online forex escapades on line 21 on my 1040 as a negative number (I just need the subcategory to classify this "income" under). It would effectively reduce my income by $25k and save me around $5k on my taxes I’m estimating.
I would also like recommendations on anything that might help prevent an audit? I was thinking that rather than e-filing I should mail the return in, and I should include a complete summary of all the trades that I made on an excel spreadsheet. Writing down 25% of my income will no doubt raise some red flags, and the last thing I have time for is dealing with the IRS.
Thanks to everyone for your responses!
Thanks so much for any input!

I would like to know were some one could buy foreign currencies to maybe use it in another country or just to diversify from the dollar but dosen’t want to spend thousands of dollars in computer programs (like FOREX) for online trading.
certain banks can order you different currencies. Ask you local bank.

OK, personally I think there is some truth in EMH and that you can’t predict the big financial markets. But, arbitrage seems a little bit underrated by EMH. I am not sure if Prof. Fama has stated this in his original thesis back in the 70s, but you will find many "official studies" online(and in your university) that in the EMH world arbitrage doesn’t exist or when it occurs - it lasts for just a few seconds. OK….but just a "minor detail" that we have something called "high frequency trading" - Yes, you are right - "a few seconds are NOT problem for a high frequency computer". Actually, below I give you a few examples(without formulas and sophisticated code - just easy to understand arguments), as to why APT, MPT, EMH and all these abbreviations fail when it comes to arbitrage:
1. Arbitrage exists for just 2-3 seconds?:
See above ^…high frequency trading. Also, see this very interesting study from Oxford which not only disproves EMH but even its "refined version" - the Adaptive Market Hypothesis: AMH (too many abbrevations already…funny). So:
http://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/users/murphya/Arbitrage%20Opportunities%20in%20Nasdaq%20Stocks.pdf
2. You cannot profit from a carry trade, due to large market risk?
Fail. You can very easily: a) Go long on XAU/USD or vice versa, short it. b) Hedge the market risk with a comex gold futures gold contract. c) Receive the tom rollover on the XAU/USD.
At the end - you end up with no market risk and 3%(or more) leveraged inter market rate. How much is that since both your futures and xauusd forex are margined? You are right: over 50% interest yearly without any market and default risk, the % obviously depends on your broker and how much your forex position is leveraged. The comex gold is an exchange defined initial/maintenance variance margin.
You can make a similar trade with cfd/stocks.
3. Options/betting markets are very efficient:
Fail. With some persistence you can easily find a broker with call/put option sell premium higher than other broker with option buy premium lower, on OTC option markets. You are obviously hedged when buying at the lower price and receiving higher premium at the other broker. Problem here is that there is market risk - but only "virtually", since you cannot lose even if one of the positions is closed. Of course you can do the same in betting markets when the odds summed on -1th power are below 1.
There some other examples.
Point is that when you read about arbitrage you read only about "buy microsoft stock in london and sell it in new york when prices differ" - which is complete ballooney. Not only this type of "Arbitrage" doesn’t happen - but it’s practically nearly impossible to make money from this even when it happens. The other type that you will read about online is the "triangular arbitrage" with 3 currencies - which occurs once in a millenium.
The first examples however are much more practical, if not shocking since some of them exist for quite some time and not even 2-3 seconds. Which means that most "arbitrageurs" are actually stupid not to exploit them, despite being a public knowledge.
I thought to go on details with formulas, links, references, computer code, etc. in this topic…but I am lazy and busy now .
Thanks!

I like your question. I trade in the financial markets and it would appear under the strong version of the EMH arbitrage isn’t possible. However, I don’t believe economists look to EMH as a perfect model but merely an approximation. Much like the rational expectations hypothesis only partially explains the slope of the yield curve; one needs to factor in risk premium to derive the complete explanation. Similarly EMH partially explains the price action we observe in markets. Arbitrage assists in the efficiency of markets by facilitating the flow of capital into its most resourceful uses.

The rise of the Internet and cheap powerful computers has made FOREX online system trading a reality for any trader, novice or pro.
Now its possible for individual traders to manage their funds and target 30 50% annual compound growth.
The advantages of FOREX online system and how to choose a good one are outlined in this article.
Lets first look at the advantages of currency system trading.
1. Emotions and trading
The major reason traders loose is they trade with out a specific method and let their emotions dictate their trading. They lack discipline and loose.
An online FOREX Trading system gives traders discipline, as good systems will run the big profitable trades and cut losers quickly to give great profit potential over the longer term.
2. Currencies trend
A system that is technical and trend following obviously needs trends to follow and this is where currencies are a great market to trade They trend for long periods either up or down.
A Currency reflects the health of the underlying economy and as economic cycles, either expansion or decline last years so to do currency trends.
Any good FOREX online trading system will therefore be able to run these big trends for maximum profitability.
3. Effort to reward
The major advantage for many traders is the time system trading takes. If a system is automated, all traders need do each day is take the signals give them to their broker and thats it.
Most good systems take as little as 30 minutes a day or less and this is a huge advantage for investors who want to trade for themselves and have limited time.
So what should you look for when choosing an online FOREX trading system?
Here is a checklist that will point you in the right direction
1.Make sure you understand the logic upon which the system is based. If you dont understand why it works, you wont have the discipline to follow it through inevitable periods of loses. So, buy a system where the logic is revealed in full and not a black box.
2.Look for a system that trades medium to longer term and avoid day trading systems. Day trading systems tend to fail because there is never enough profit in a day trade to cover losing trades and commission and slippage add up.
3.Choose a system with simple logic. It should only have a few rules or parameters. Keep in mind there is no correlation between how complicated a system is and how much money it makes. Simple systems work best, as they tend to be more robust in the face of ever changing market conditions
4.Look at the money management of the system. Keep in mind money management is the key to system trading success. A system without sensible money management is more than likely going to lose.
FOREX online trading systems can and do make traders great longer term gains.
Spend some time picking one and you will be well rewarded for your efforts.

Basics For Every Forex Currency Trading Beginner
by Jane MacRae
There is a lot of information out there for Forex currency
trading beginner. If you have decided that your ultimate
goal is to become an expert foreign exchange trader, you
should take a look at some must-have information. The first
thing that should concern you is to find out what exactly
FOREX is all about.
The Forex market is one of the biggest financial investment
market in the world. Many think that the stock market is
huge, but it can not quite measure up the size of the Forex
market. Even if we add the futures market to the stock
market, the Forex market would still have a bigger amount of
money being traded every day.
In the past, the market was a playing field only for the big
shots who could present millions of dollars before they were
allowed to trade. Today, the presence of online trading
companies has opened the FOREX market to those who do not
have millions but could afford to dish out thousands of
dollars as beginner traders.
Forex trading involves people buying and selling different
currencies of the world. To be exact, every time you trade,
you buy one currency while selling another. This is because
currency trading always involves pairs. Thus, quotes of
currencies will come in one currency paired with another.
The major players include the U.S. dollar and the Canadian
dollar (USD/CAD), the Euro and the U.S. dollar (EUR/USD),
the U.S. dollar and the yen (USD/JPY) and the Australian
dollar and the U.S. dollar (AUD/USD).
There are many advantages to trading in the Forex market.
The transactions are fast because everything is electronic.
You also are ured that there are often people who would
want to trade with you. This is simply because there are so
many people who are trading everyday and every hour of the
day. You can buy and sell at anytime whenever you want to.
Leverage is another attractive aspect of currency trading.
With a nearly unbelievable ratio of 200:1, you leverage
capacity is simply huge. With very minimal initial cash you
can already manage a large amount of currency. This is
probably the main reason why the market is quite attractive
for those who want to increase their earnings impressively.
It is wrong, however, to think that you can immediately get
rich in Forex trading. People can lose too in currency
trading. Those who do are often those who act impulsively
with the hopes of getting rich instantaneously. If you do
not take the time to learn the inner wheels of Forex trading
and the technical aspects of leveraging, then you could lose
everything you have put into currency trading.
As a Forex currency trading beginner, the best way to make
sure that you have a rewarding and fulfilling experience
with currency trading is to prepare yourself before diving
into actual trading. If you are a small-time online
investor, you can pick an online company that can help you
learn. Many of them will allow you to first practice trading
with imaginary currencies without any substantial cost or
loss to you. Position yourself as a beginner and learn from
the seasoned player, you will have a good chance of becoming
an expert in this field.
