BKTraders and Prop Traders Edge
Many forex prop traders are looking to make the switch from forex prop to futures prop trading firms.
Whether you're a novice or a seasoned trader, this video is your gateway to mastering futures prop trading.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading forex carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade any such leveraged products, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading on margin, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.

AUD/USD rebounds toward 0.7100 despite mixed Aussie jobs data
AUD/USD has picked up fresh bids toward 0.7100 despite the release of mixed Australian employment data, which showed that the economy added 17.8K new jobs in January and the jobless rate held steady at 4.1%, compared to a rise to 4.2% expected. The data does little to temper bets for additional tightening by the RBA, supporting the Aussie. The US Dollar, on the other hand, preserves the overnight gains led by less dovish FOMC Minutes, which could cap the upside for the currency pair.

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.
