    Bloomberg Alternatives

    c*f(x), Maybe we could get back on track and answer your question if you explained what the IPTS function is. I used to have Bloomberg Pro but I didn't use it for charting and I've never heard of IPTS. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Bloomberg Alternatives

    "By KAY LARSEN of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES" That this article is biased is not surprising, being that it is written by someone from a competing news service. It doesn't seem to dawn on Kay Larson that the customers that can afford Bloomberg and Reuters' would never switch to an internet based...

    I've been looking for fairly basic info on forex options for a while: are most of the options OTC or exchange traded?, how are the strikes determined?, who writes most of these options?, etc. and unfortunately I haven't been able to find anyone with expertise in this area on this thread or on...

    lynx2004, No it's not always like this. This is holiday low liquidity BS. Moves are exaggerated so if you're a small fish (not big enough to move the market) you're jumping in for the exaggerated moves, hopefully with the knowledge that you could get burned in the process. Cheers...

    Was anybody watching it when it happened? Did the Euro lead or was it a coordinated assault on the $?

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

    Well I got sucked in to watching The Godfather on TV so I'm up but I missed the spike up. Sold with an average price of 1.34325. I'm assuming that this is low volume antics by someone who is not normally big enough to push the markets around. If it's news driven and I've missed it please let...

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

    Should of sold 05s again but the last spike had me spooked. Maybe I've just made too much this week selling 90s to 05s and buying 50 somethings and vise versa or maybe the price hanging around 90 all afternoon scared me off. Anyhow I think I'll go to bed flat and see what the European open has...

    No guessing here...the MPC minutes were very dovish. They came out at 09:30 UTC/London time (4:30 New York time) and then Cable tanked. Cheers, TRADERguy

    It works for me. It's a PDF file so you have to have Acrobat Reader installed and it's a big file so if you have a slow connection it will take a while. If you can't get it to work go to www.currencytradermag.com and download the December issue. Cheers, TRADERguy

    Sounds like too much. I use less than half that while day trading and even less for overnight trades; and there are many that would consider the leverage I use to be insanely high. Calculate the percentage of your account that you are risking for each trade. It gives you a better idea of what...

    Yes, but at that leverage the length of your trading career will probably be measured in seconds.

    The current account deficit is the primary reason for the USD weakness; less of a market mover than non-farms or surprises by the FED but more important than anything else at the moment. Cheers, TRADERguy

    I've heard that Globex terminals show all market levels (not just 5 each way) but I haven't seen it for myself.
