Someone called DAX – dancing DAX, and I totally agree. I also primarily trade STOXX now because it is not as jumpy and the volume is huge. From what I see 30-40 contracts a clip is not an issue at almost any time. These are the same reasons why I like ES, but I can only trade Europe open, so...

I looked at few products’ statistics on eurexus, and the volume is very tiny. Anyone how any idea why? Thanks, redduke

Anyone serious about trading would never rely on free data. You get what you pay for. No exceptions.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is THE man, he just authorized a $150 million loan to fund California's stem cell institute. He is not a true republican, just like Bloomberg. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060720/ap_on_re_us/schwarzenegger_stem_cells

New turn of events. Germany is trying to push EU into banning federal funding for stem cells. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060720/wl_nm/science_eu_stemcells_dc

Great. Just wanted to make you aware.

Hi gejay, Why do you say that posting it was a mistake? What I said about forex market makers is true whether you want to believe it or not. That is why I said you better learn to trade in other ways than news, and look at other markets than forex if you want to be a long term wealthy...

Z, Your post makes our point ever more convincing. 500 (and even less than that) years ago, people were burnt alive for small disagreements with Religion. Today religious fanatics try to stop inevitable shift away from blind faith. And hopefully this silliness will be gone within next few...

Hi Trader56, Agree. What I still can not comprehend how can so many people be so narrow minded at this day and age where practically any information is available at finger tips. redduke

Gejay and Ballyhoo, I would highly recommend you to learn how to trade other than news. You won't be able to trade size this way. And after some time, even small account might be suspended. You need to realize that Oanda is not a true market, it is a virtual buffer between you and the...

TraderNik, My point exactly. Anyone who opposes it today will change their mind in a split second if god forbids should it affect someone they love. Fhl, Destroying stem cells is not the same as killing people. Most of them won't be used any way. If we follow your logic then every time when...

This is precisely why I would not vote republican. Bush’s logic just kills me. His main point about veto is that it is wrong because it destroys human life, but at the same time it ok for 2,500 of our soldier to die in the war based on lies, more than 10,000 injured and over 50,000 Iraqis...

Jessieblue, Not sure who this gus is. Please try trading news with size (10-50 standard lots) at any forex MM for 1 month. Then please let us know how it went. Regards, redduke

Jessieblue, The best way to trade the news is to use a straddle (putting buy and sell order at the same time about 20 pips away from current price) seconds before the number comes out. The spike is usually about 40-50 pips on major news announcements. So what you do once the price hits either...

Electric, I know exactly what you are talking when you say good things about Oanda, and I totally agree. They never advertise, when you open demo no follow up phone calls and so on. This type of warning did not happen to me, but it happened to someone that I know. Also if you call Oanda...

Hi Electric, Of course they do. Try opening and closing large size trades many time for duration of 1-2 minutes (even during no news times). Oanda will give you a warning and if you continue doing this, they will close your account and return capital to you. Not sure what you mean by...

Jessieblue, I would highly advise you to work on some other strategies. If news trading is all you do, you will not last in this business. You might as well go to AC and Vegas. Regards, redduke

I won't be able to some this weekend.

Some one on this thread said that if it was so easy to outperform S&P why not everyone doing it. The reason is because of all these fees that the funds are charging their clients. They need to show that they are actually smarter than the market, that they are doing something incredible...

Any decent platform these day has a max # of contracts which you can set up. So fat finger error is eliminated. I had these discussions before, but other than the whole bunch of crosses and ridiculous leverage of 400:1 (which is a huge disadvantage even if slightly abused), there are no...
