The foreign currency exchange market (forex) is one of the most popular trading arenas in the world. Forex trading is not subject to the same strict federal day trading regulations required for stock and options, and most brokers open accounts for as little as a couple hundred dollars. As a result, almost anyone can engage in the high-stakes game of forex. However, it remains a challenging field. For many, getting to know fellow forex traders is helpful in conquering the learning curve. Atlanta provides such clubs.
Atlanta Thinkersand Swimmers
The ThinkOrSwim trading platform is popular among forex traders due to its all-inclusive brokerage and charting service. Clients of ThinkOrSwim in the Atlanta area meet regularly to introduce themselves and discuss both trading and the techniques of the ThinkOrSwim platform. Sessions include a casual setting where members get to know each other, followed by instructional tutorials on a variety of trading vehicles. As of February 2010, the group had 58 members. Events are organized through Meetup.com and are usually held five miles outside Atlanta in Marietta.
SouthEast Forex Group
The SouthEast Forex Group meets eight miles outside Atlanta and focuses on sessions covering forex basics and currency charting techniques. Meetings cost $10 per session. Traders from all levels of experience are welcome. For those who cannot attend in person, the sessions are also available over the Internet via Webinar for $25. The group has been active since 2007 and has 234 members as of February 2010. Some members have found the meetings to be as informative as professional forex conferences.
The Suwanee Forex Trading Meetup Group
The city of Suwanee near Atlanta provides the location for this club dedicated to forex analysis. Its 50 members (as of February 2010) meet to discuss the complicated area of trading psychology as it relates to foreign currency analysis. Using forex as the basis for a home business is one of the topics on which the group focuses their time. The group does not meet as regularly as some other clubs, but membership is free and a worthwhile addition to any Atlanta forex trader's roster of social get-togethers.
