You're insane.  Buy commodities as a diversifier and inflation hedge only, and as part of a larger diversifed portfolio.  They should make up no more than 5-10% of your portfolio, depending on your personal risk tolerance.  They are VERY volatile, so keep that in mind.  The best way to do it is through a diversifed commodities fund, like the DWS Scudder Commodity Securities Fund.\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.

Almost all brokers offer a US dealing facility.  You will pay a little more than for UK trades and they will also ask you to sign a W8-BEN form before accepting any US orders.  That is a tax declaration required by the US authorities.  Once you're set up you can buy and sell online, just like you do with UK shares.\n\nIf you want really cheap trading you can open a US dollar account with a US broker.  I use TD Ameritrade, they have have always been excellent and I can buy and sell US shares at $9.99 per trade (about £6 per trade).  They have a special site for UK based investors.

You would send money or some sort of equity to the online company. They would hold it like a bank.  You get on line and log in with a password to gain access to your account where you can instruct the brokerage firm to buy or sell the stocks you instruct them to.

Whoever answers this question, will give you the broker that they have settled on and now use. But their criteria are different than yours, and you don't tell us what yours are.\n\nAre you trading stocks, commodities, futures, options, or all of these? If the latter, TerraNova is the only one that you can trade everything, real time, online, direct access. A lot of online brokerages claim to give you direct access, but if they take more than a second to execute your trade, it aint direct.\n\nFind the articles online that have evaluated and compared online brokerages. I found a good one online in Barron's, but you'll find others in the trading magazines. \n\nThis is worth putting a little time and effort into, because it's a pain to switch, so once you choose, you're kinda stuck with it. \n\nTownsend Electronics, the Parent company of TerraNova, is the one that digitized and electronified the Nasdaq. They are technological industry leaders and have a powerful and well built trading system. \n\nI use RealTick at TerraNovaOnline, but it costs $275/mo, even though it is unlimited what you can do with it. I think the Investor package is free to use, and just uses one screen. \n\nWhat you should try is a free trial of their Investor platform, which is free. You only get one window to trade from, but hey, with $5,000-how many stocks are you going to watch? Their rates are good also, but of course, it depends on how often you trade. It will take you months to learn all the bells and whistles of what this program can do.\n\nThe other top-of-the line program is TradeStation, but it costs big bucks to join and operate. Some people consider it the Cadillac of trading and technical analysis. \n\nTerraNova is the home of the Day Trader, so they think nothing of you making several hundred trades a day. You don't have to do that, but it's okay here if you do.

Honestly it is upto you.  I like E-trade the most.  They are very helpful if you have issues with you site and/or account.  I have been with E-Trade since its infancy and so far not too many issues to bicker about.  Now you cant blame E-trade if you take risks and lose money. They also have awesome resources to study and see histories.

If you have to ask this question, I sincerely advise you not to trade forex online. There is NO way to make 100% profit, and even experienced traders lose money on some trades. There is no single formula or indicator, and if anyone claims there is, why should they give it to you? Please beware of all these scam artists who claim to make huge profits by trading forex. The truth is, over 90% people lose money. Only the professionals can make money in this kind of risky trading.

I have scottrade. 7 dollars are for real time trades. the sucky thing about scottrade is now when you want to deposit more money into your account, you cant do it electronically over the internet from your bank account directly to scottrade, you have to either mail them a check or go to a scottrade office
