Currency trading

Yeah I was thinking in the terms of 5:1 leverage. Putting in two-three trades as a supplement to a broader portfolio. I'm very bearish on equities and don't feel comfortable holding big parts of my portfolio in equities. I'm looking to hold for a while unless the I feel the prices quickly converge to a level I feel is appropriate. I really just want some general information from some experienced currency traders/investors.

Mort, you can get 200:1 leverage on a mini account, which is limited to $10,000. If you are playing with more than $10,000 you have to open a regular account with less leverage.

Stick $2000 in a mini account and you can play $400,000 worth of currency. That should be plenty until you get some experience.

Can anybody recommend any good sources for currency trading?
