I am already doing that. Thanks for mentioning it nevertheless. Aynthing else ?

Ok, anything with a more short term effect, you can say ? Because I am mostly intraday trading only. Something that happens every (other) day for X pips as an example ? By the way, actually I cannot imagine how the ECB could move the EURUSD for longer moves, except some intraday spikes. What do...

Good answer. Thanks. And ECB does not unwind their positions so the strengthen of the USD to the EUR will continue ? I think so, lets see tomorrow CPI data. They should be stronger than expected because of the inertia. So shorting EU and GU could be good for the next hours and days. Second, I...

I am asking about actual examples of Fixing price manipulation and not about the known history here. That does not interest me, because I cannot profit from it, what happened in the past. How to profit from it is another question, I am not asking here. I am also not intended to be a kind of...

I am not so sure about that it cannot be learned in any way, Scataphagos. But I have seen the hand signature of the SNB when they move a basket of CHF related currencies with no news about 10 pips or so in less than 10 seconds at NY opening until before the US stock market opens or so and that...

How do you know that being certain ? And I am not talking about MEME stocks or other stocks in particular. Please tell us more.

Hello, anyone knows if the Fixing manipulation in currencies still happens, because of the many punishments of many banks in the last years here. From time to time it is coming up in the medias of a known price manipulation, even on other (derivative) instruments at fixing. So I think this must...

Sorry, but I am not doing a due diligence here. But it is all you can imagine of. Trading platforms (stability and execution quality and speed too), trading cost, leverage, customer service, etc...Please compare yourself.

Do not understand the hype on this broker. It is a RETAIL broker. You get much better brokers out there when you do not need to put all 'eggs' in one basket. We all know what happened with Refco when they got too big.

Could you say more about this program trading please ? What was the Reward-Risk-Ratio over a good sample of trades with their signals ? Did they have deep drawdowns ? How accurate were they and how long time is that ago ?

It cannot be a single market order (unless a fat finger of course), because this would move the market too much and the whale or market participant would get much worse fill. It should be filled something with VWAP or TWAP.

Do not dive deep into the Almanac, because it is not worth the effort. Most of it does not work out-of-sample, except the few things I already mentioned here. If you want to read more about it, I would look into academic papers. There are plenty of studies here about this topic. E.g. 'Are...

I do not want to be too specific. But there are still opportunities, just do your own search.

Forget that kind of FX arb I would suggest. You can either do arb via Futures, looking for deviations on intras e.g., every better futures broker allow you to get exchange and span margins here. Then you can build up something pretty fast with the low margins you need. Or if you really want swap...

For me the best single criteria to look for a FX broker is trading volume. Because there must be reason why so many are trading there. The large ones are usually the better ones. And they have over 1 trillion USD monthly volume actually. Just have a look on the published statistics here.

It is cable GBPUSD for intraday trading. Because of the average daily move. You only need to look for the average daily move in pips over a certain time period and then compare it to the trading cost you have when entering a position. On EU or fiber there is much less move per day. Do not forget...

If you are a new person I would care more about fundamentals and the macro perspective and learn about interest rate differentials etc., how they move currencies. The basic strategies which are examined in the academic world are Carry, Value and Momentum strategies. Stick with them first. You...

First look on majors, if not sufficient then on minors. Exotics I would avoid because they can have massive jumps so volatility can hurt one on some days/weeks. In case you also look on Exotic pairs you really need to cut down your leverage much. But my experience is that the extra return from...

Instead for looking the deposit bonus it would be better to look for prop firms, where you can get 3 times to 7 times the value for your money. 3 times means, that your own compounding on your own personal account is 3 times less the value what you get at a FX prop firm. Of course it is...

It really depends on the market, timeframe, number of inputs, variety of inputs and also which indicators are used. It is too difficult to say that beforehand that 1% or 10% would pass.
