Want to make an easy $50? Then open an account at Tradeking

Simon Eurek — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:17:20 +0000

Between now and August 27 if you open an account with Tradeking you can make $50. All you need is a referral from someone that has an account (or you ask Deal Specialist for one by clicking here) and perform one trade in the specified time period. Detailed terms are as follows:

Open a regular non-retirement investment account
Leave the account open, with your referral money in there, for at least 6 months.
Fund your account with at least $1,000 within 30 days of opening the account
Make a minimum of one trade within 180 days of account opening

About 10-20 minutes of work for $50, not bad. Deal Specialist does use Tradeking for his equity trading, but if you are only interested in the promotion, you can buy one share of penny stock and leave it there (SGRP and TCX are under .50 at the time of this post).

My Short Experience Trading on the Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX)

Simon Eurek — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:00:10 +0000

So I traded on the Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX) today and it was quite an experience. It wasn’t my intention of really getting into trading on the FOREX, but there was this $200 promotion at Zecco that I couldn’t resist on acting on. It was quite nerve-racking, you can lose or make $100s or even $1000s of in a few minutes. Also, the minimum trade was $10,000, not a small piece of change.

Even though I’m typically very comfortable with technology, I felt like I was flying an airplane using that weird trading tool (after the tutorial and doing a few practice trades I felt a bit better about it). I opted to do a EUR/USD trade since that was supposedly the least volatile currency pair. I looked at the trading chart and looked like (based on my probably not so good intuition) that EUR had dropped quite a bit during the day and was about to rebound.

So I set a limit buy order at the current price and crossed my fingers. It went through instantaneously and then I set up a limit sell order a few ticks above my buy order amount and recrossed my fingers. I looked at the thing for a bit and decided to not stare at the thing, my heart was beating 1000 beats a minute. Good time for a bathroom break…

Got back from the bathroom and good news, the trade went through. Net profit $6!!! Hopefully, I get my $200 bonus soon, but I’m glad I went through this experience. The FOREX is a bit volatile for me (I think I prefer the casinos), but I’m going to educate myself a bit more on the topic.
