    How to hedge currency risk as a retail?

    "The foreign currency might not be offered or might have huge spreads. (50-100 pips)" Aussie?! You're a funny guy. Why don't you just take out an AUD-denominated mortgage, instead of presumably using your USD liquid assets? Now you are long the real estate asset and short the local currency...

    **breaking News... Liz Clayman Shirt Is Off The Charts, I'm Long!!!

    Since the screenshots from June 20 were never posted here, might as well, credit to Cobra. That sure looks like a semi-transparent top in the first pic... Hope this helps anyone suffering from withdrawal symptoms and holds them over till FBN gets off... I mean, launches. Out of...

    Jokes 2

    I've noticed a disturbing trend in some of these more elaborately set-up jokes lately: they deliver a perfectly good punchline and... instead of a full stop... keep on going! Whoever is coming up with that travesty of comedy needs to be heckled senseless, until they know when to stop.

    Hedge fund manager too busy to retrieve $160000 Maserati from pound, almost loses car

    :confused: Your BMW dealer's service dept. is closed on Saturdays AND doesn't offer (courtesy or nominal fee) pick-up / drop-off service AND doesn't have an after-hours, 24/7 key drop box for service customers? So, what do you do for service? Funny story, AS. Proving once again that...

    How to hedge currency risk as a retail?

    First, you'd better compare the retail swap rates on that currency and USD, especially if this secret "foreign country" happens to be an emerging market... which is what it obviously sounds like. If you were to hedge, it may well end up costing you far more in leveraged negative interest over 5...

    Massive move at 8:15

    Not on Globex... it was as orderly as would be expected. All Globex T&S data are free on the CME website, but only for the most recent 5-8 trading days: http://www.cme.com/trading/dta/hist/hftp/ftp_gtimeandsales.html Download gx070817.zip and unzip into 4 files for various futures and...

    FXDD don't return the money and don't answer the email.

    Yeah, I work for FXDD marketing... nothing ever gets by you, does it? ROFLMAO. You, sir, need lessons in both remediation reading and thinking. For the record, let me flat out advise anyone (at least in the US) to stay away from trading with FXDD, simply because it's an unregistered...

    Trading gbp/jpy trough major pairs???

    You're close. Selling at 6 AM, when GBP/USD quote was 1.9823. The replicating trade would be: short 10,000,000 GBP/USD and short 19,823,000 USD/JPY. siki13, doing it that way would require twice the margin of the GBP/JPY trade at most dealers. For example, almost $400,000 vs. almost...

    FXDD don't return the money and don't answer the email.

    What's a couple digits off here or there... it's only a silly bank account. And how about the nerve of those broker's back office goons, with their ridiculous security procedures catching errors and dragging things out... Unbelievable. At least credit to the OP for publicly 'fessing up to...

    a 10K trading book

    Or maybe you could just take another look at the screenshot above and skip the Google and Amazon steps... :) The seller may be a fun-loving practical joker, but seems to ignore not only the other copy for sale right next to his for nearly 2% of his asking price, but also the admittedly exotic...

    Password security for files

    FT71, if you'd like to stay within WinXP itself, then your only option is that XP Pro (not Home), together with NTFS file system, offers the Encrypting File System, or EFS. Feel free to Google that for details, but, briefly, in Windows Explorer, right-click on a file or folder - Properties -...

    Career in Trading - New York City

    If you somehow managed to perceive what I had written as "whining", "like a hysterical woman" and not "calm" - or you pretended that I had - then you either: 1) have deep, deep reading comprehension issues; or 2) are seriously delusional... way beyond any non-professional help that could...

    Career in Trading - New York City

    So, you used to have another alias here and always tried to help out back then. That's nice. Under this alias, xxxxpremierexxx, you made your first post 9 months ago, as someone who had "been trading for 6 years in London, England." Great. What exactly have you contributed to the forum...

    'Wall Street' sequel to set Gordon Gekko in hedge fund era

    :D Jessica Alba will not even get topless on screen (not counting a fleeting, meticulously planned, underwater nip slip in "Into the Blue"), so don't hold your breath... Bud Fox 2 gotta be a guy. What would be fun is to make him a pure capitalist tool, more conscience-free, out-Gekko the...

    WinXP Services... save and restore settings?

    gnome, what you want is a "startup manager" that also handles processes. One of the many freeware and shareware programs in the "process management" category of MajorGeeks should be just the ticket for you: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=40 Others to consider: PC Mag's...
