Forex, futures and stocks trading

After the big drop in the metals, I took a small position in each of the PM's , 1 futures contact long each
Bought Silver @ 14.35
Bought Gold @ 1161
Bought Palladium @835
Bought Platinum @ 757

Using a trailing stop, these can turn to extremely profitable trades with very small risk with a stop.

@ludmila what brokerage do you use to purchase futures, if I may ask?

How far out?

Do a few months.

They all work. See what commission they charge. IIRC Schwab is around $4 RT for e-micro contract.

How far out?

Dec 2018, and platinum Jan 2019. I just closed the Palladium trade 100 oz. @ spot $903 up $57 today, which will give me a good profit to hold the other contracts longer.  The metals have been very volatile, so I am keeping tight stops on the rest.

+1  I use more than 1, Interactive Brokers, Ameritrade and several others are fine, check commissions, minimum balances, charting  etc.

I considered following you but IB doesn't seem to offer CAD.NOK.

[ludmila]

I know, not many do, the NOK is not a major pair.  Another way to do it is to buy USD/CAD and sell USD/NOK , a little complex  as you need the same amount.
