Save your $200 and trade the simulator for free, until you have enough data to see a trend. Three days is squat, meaningless. You should trade the simulator for at least six months while you learn. Don't get in a hurry to lose money. When you begin to make "virtual" money, then you can open a live account and risk your own.There are literally thousands of indicators. You have to decide what works for you, and it will take you years to try them all. Try instead to decide your time frame, and your risk level, and learn good money management techniques, then maybe you'll stick around awhile.Or just jump right in there and blow your $200, then come back here and blast us all for how risky Forex is and how it can't be done and what a SCAM it is.Here's the Forex simulator game called PriceMotionhttp://www.expertworx.com/pm/Forex%20Market%20Educational%20Game.htmhttp://www.tradingeducation.com/forex_trading_primer.aspThere are also great resources for Forex at Investopedia.comHere are some othershttp://www.premieretradeai.com/http://www.forextv.com/FT/Video.jsp?channel=41http://umgarticles.atspace.com/forex-trading.htmhttp://www.fxstreet.com/rates-charts/usdollar-index/http://forex.tradingcharts.com/http://www.dailyfx.comhttp://www.forexbastards.com

Sorry but forget about percentage. Unless you are just going to do a big one and never trade again for the rest of your life. What i mean is this, if you make a trade a day, 1 yr you will be making maybe 200 something trades. If you trade 2 a day. You are going to trade 400times. Let me ask this, How long are you going to last with $200. With a loss or stop loss of say $20, 10 times and you are out. So there are 2 ratios that you must improve. One more important than the other. 1. Win/Loss [trades] 2. Win/Loss [$$$$]. Win/Loss [$$$$] is more important. You can lose more times but if you win $$$ more , you will still come out positive. Win/Loss is about Money Management. That is more critical than trading techniques which people tend to over rate. So trade with the big picture in mind, 400 trades a year. At what ratio do you need to make decent money ? And what do you need to make that ratio ? Learn more and demo more. Before you sink in money. Becasue before you know it its $200 here, $200 there, and in time its a $2000 loss if not $20,000. There is fine line between trading and gambling.For more help @ http://www.geocities.com/lcming/Forexbooks
