You are correct it is limit up/down when trading halts. Eurex reps said that the formula is not available for general public. They also said that it happens on average once a year. Not sure how longs it lasts, but if I were to hit it, I would immediatly close my positions right after it...

Thanks. I was thinking down the same lines based on what I observed, but it helps to hear it from someone who actually does it.

Hi AC3, What is the largest size for intra day trading on ES, where there are almost no slipage in your opinion. Thanks, redduke

Bluegreen, When I said 30 cars a clip, I meant trading 30 contracts every time. redduke

Euro Stoxx is as deep as ES, but it is not very volatile.

I am very much interesting in this info as well. I currently trade very small size, but plan to increase it over time, so this info is very much appreciated. redduke

dax and russel have good intra day volatility, and you can trade anywhere around 10 cars a clip. Dax more like 5 cars. This size assumes almost no slipage. For large liquidity you have DJ Euro Stoxx and S&P emini, there you can trade easily 50 cars a clip. redduke

This is the link to Eurex exchange where you can get their tick data https://datashop.deutsche-boerse.com/epages/datashop.storefront/44df2086004dc0b2271bac14774306b5/Product/View/2002-y Be very carefull if buying it from vendors. You know garbage in, garbage out.

Chood, Good post. I think I will soon ignore all forex questions. I and many others posted on numerous threads about what forex brokers truly are, but people are either too lazy to read or choose not to listen. Why would anyone trade forex when you have CME currency futures which are...

I recently got Jack Schwager’s autograph on first Market Wizards book. He gave a good lecture in June at FXCM annual expo (my main reason for going there was to see him in person). I got a chance to chat with him for few min. He said, he has no plans for another wizard book in any foreseeable...

Did you get a chance to talk to him. I would have tried.

Yeh right 1 pip on all majors. Why people waist their time, if you want to trade forex you've got oanda and IB, reputable firms with tight spread. If you want to trade currencies, but not in forex you've got CME fuutres. 2007 will bring FXMarketplace from CME & Reuters, which will be a...

You can get tick data from Eurex directly. Here is the link, https://datashop.deutsche-boerse.com/epages/datashop.storefront/44db780e0033f6f9271bac14774306ac/Product/View/2002-y It is 300EUR per year. With tick data, you can construct any type of chart with a decent charting tool. As far...

It just amazes me that people never learn. Trading news (without prior inside info) is pure gambling. At least in casino you get free drinks and hot (hopefully) waitresses. redduke

You have no clue how fx market makers work. redduke

What will be the min deposit in order to be able to trade?

ballyhoo, What do you think happens in forex when news come out. Some MM increase the spread, some lock their platforms so you can not trade. I think I will stop explaining why forex is more dangerous and more expensive option. I have said enough to let anybody do their own research and make...

TinGull, If you are allowing your harware to dictate what you can and can not use, quit this business now. If you are serious, get a PC. redduke

Least hated is an understatement. It is actually loved by most of its users. I always said it, that it is one of the best in forex if not the best. But it is not Oanda that is the problem in spot fx, it is the retail forex market itself. You are not trading in the real market, inter bank is...

Hi Pabst, You were spot on when you predicted their failure. Based on what I read on that old thread, the fees were reduced, they had good products and CBOT and CME were really worried, and yet it failed. Even though it looked promising, people totally ignored it. A bit puzzling??? Thanks...
