Hi Guys,

Which website is the safest for buying bitcoin and other crytocurrency? And have the simplest procedures to register, buy and sell.

I am quite new to this. I understand bitcoin and other crytocurrencies have been on the downtrend for some time. But I believe eventually it will become more and more common to use crytocurrencies for payment in our everyday lives. Hence, my belief to want to jump onto the bandwagon. So far, I have not been vested (on hindsight, it is thankfully but one never knows exactly) but I wanted to put in a bit of money because I feel crytocurrencies are part of the future.

i think got a few cryptoexchange websites out there but most importantly search for their reviews. One of my colleagues say he use this one called Liquid or something, regulated in Japan one.

USD.
there will be auto conversion from SGD to USD usually at the spot price. and auto convert back when u close position. brokers hav to earn something.

u said u are newbie. I hope u are not newbie to the finance markets and want to trade forex only becoz after attend some hyped-up seminars.

"do u want financial freedom" "do u want to get out of rat race"

Forex volatility has been falling over the years and with lower leverage it is harder for newbie.

In a low volatility and low leverage environment we have to adapt to strategy based on high ADR/ATR pairs.

Else open a foreign account with high leverage and minimum deposit.Don't open with more than US$500, then you reduce the risk. Risk/Money management is paramount to forex trading.

o yes TIME and PRICE. :s13::s13::s13:
When price meets the right time for that particular pair. Watch pairs like C5 Basket for a start and observe how price and time work.

When don't you just trade with Interactive Brokers?

https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=759

IBKR is not for Forex trading. They don't offer swap points when you trade on leverage. There is a spread between the interest they charge and the interest they pay. A proper Forex broker when you take a huge leverage position, will pass on to you the full interest on the currency you are long and will charge you the full interest on the currency you are short.

IBKR offers this swap points facility only for positions larger than gross 10million

IB can still do FX trading.

If you are new, my advice is to start slow.

Why leverage to the hilt and risks yourself getting busted quickly.

FX trading is a leverage game. The movement is so less that you can't make any money without leverage. Low risk can be done with leverage also, just trade smaller amounts.

Yes, I am a wannable but I ain't vanillabinary.

The downfall of vanillabinary is he has no concept of TIME.

TIME is a personal issue. Many enter trades expecting the price to move in their direction "right now".
Timing of news and economic announcements should be no-brainer.
But TIME for certain pairs or basket must be one of your chief concerns to enter and exit a trade. Timing of their order flow that cause volatility of 20 to 30 pips or more.

If you are free around 4 - 7pm watch EURAUD, EURNZD, GBPJPY, GBPUSD.
I bet if you watch for weeks and months you might be able to observe the market maker will subtlety adjust the time and you will tell others about TIME and PRICE.

As for vanillabinary, he got the timing all wrong. the time for major roll over of contracts for futures and time decay for option.
Hack, just stick with retail forex.

By the way, even though retail forex is not centralized do you know you can spot discrepancy between each volume bar and candle.

for a start help yourself to be a better trader instead of spiking or ridicule other trader (which is the hall mark in this thread with chief in charge kam bei lan) I hope you are not his 2nd in charge as kam his lan.
