    Refco/Mac Futures typical deals?

    Remember to ask them how much they will require you to keep in your account with them to trade size. Also making it for $150,000 in profits or 3 years (whichever comes first) is a good idea and an idea that they will probably agree to. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Currenex

    I had access to the Currenex Euro feed last Summer when I worked at Refco. Generally a 1 pip spread during the London & New York sessions with 20-30 mil liquidity at the buy and the offer at the 1 pip spread with 10-15 mil at each of the next 2 pips on either side. No idea what it's like now...

    According to Market News it was stops in USD/JPY and EUR/JPY and some help from IMM accounts going into the close. There was also mention of a large Swiss bank selling euro-yen.

    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    Interesting looking chart...I don't think that I've ever looked at EUR/CAD. I found a corner of one of my screens that can be its home so I can watch it in the future. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    Just heard on Bloomberg TV that Poole was misquoted and that his overall comments suggested maintaining the current pace of interest rate increases is likely to continue for some time.

    It means that eventually rates will have to go up faster than .25% per meeting. However, PPI was so benign that "eventually" seems like a long way off. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    Yes, that's one of the reasons I switched to spot but when I can't play during the fun times I wonder if I made the right choice.

    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    Did anybody trading futures click to buy the Euro right when the trade balance was released? My retail spot platform doesn't work very well for a few seconds after important numbers come out and I'm wondering what kind of a fill people got on Globex. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    I'm still working on getting back to getting up for the european session. I'm long the euro spot at 55 with a tight stop but it wouldn't exactly surprise me if there was more carnage on the down side. Edit- stop moved to 60 Edit- well I'm still in only now I have actually put the stop at...

    Just a reminder that NY NAPM comes out in 10 minutes at 1400 GMT. Not that its a big market mover but it has snuck up on me before because it's not on everyone's calendar. Cheers, TRADERguy
