Well, the majority of them are, 100++. Yet, as mentioned, that's just a small, US-registered subset. Guess I still don't see the point / value added of your exercise. Do you understand the (world of) difference between top-down and bottom-up, in terms of any selection process, in any human...

All?... Good luck with your quest. There are hundreds of them, with new ones probably being launched every month. Even if you narrow it down to just the shops registered with the US CFTC, you're looking at 181 at the latest count: http://cftc.gov/tm/tmfcm.htm?from=home&page=mktfcmcontent...

Dude, where's my snake? You know, "Snakes on a Plane" was originally going to be called... drum roll, please... "Pacific Air 121." No kidding! The New York Times August 13, 2006 Week In Review Titles That Didn’t Smell as Sweet By THOMAS VINCIGUERRA IN late 1924, a...

Not sure. I stick with defaults - Unlimited and None, and that works well, together with regular JRE cache and browser cache clearing. One thing you could check is the size of that entire ...\cache folder shown in the "Location" box on the Temp Files Settings screen. For example...

Sure, the cache size and compression can be user-modified. See the above link, step 3.

A few suggestions: Try clearing your JRE cache, if you haven't already: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000020300.xml Good idea on a regular basis, too. Ditto for the browser cache. Test your TWS with different browsers. Dedicate one browser to your Java apps (like TWS) and...

Or this could be just their (subtle :p ) way of letting everyone know that they don't welcome your trading the news. In fact, the spread was as high as 15, for a brief time. Then 10, until 4:40... then 6, until 5:06 (!)... now 2.8, finally.

Let me take a wild guess... you've been with Oanda, what, a few weeks? Well, that's no sin. 4:30 am ET happens to be when UK PPI figures were released today. The widened spread on cable would be something routine, to be expected on that platform at that time. Second, 1.8901 is not the...

No. You're off by a factor of 10. Pound-Yen pips - as well as Anything-Yen pips - are .01, not .001. For example, change from 219.70 to 219.71, or from 219.706 to 219.716. (The 3rd decimal is just Oanda's "pipette".) On 10,000 GBP/JPY, 1 pip (tick) = $0.86, at current USD/JPY rates...

Everything you ever wanted to know about USDX and more: www.nybot.com/productpages/USDX/pdf/usdx.pdf NOTE: the formula on p. 4 is completely bungled, to the point of being useless - missing the "Product" symbol, from i=1 to 6, as well as missing... just about everything else. :eek: Also...

The min/max chart shows the actual price extremes - the lowest bid and highest ask - during that minute. In a news-driven volatility explosion, the b/a spread is going to be only a small part of the range between those extremes, especially on a time frame as long as 1 minute. To monitor the...

No, it was 5. The spreads widened in a single step, from 1.5 to 5 on euro and from 2.7 to 10 on cable at 2:12:30. They stayed there for >10 minutes, when they were cut in half, to 2.5 and 5, respectively, as the first of several back-to-normal steps.

Drawdown numbers on C2 - and all the other stats there - are not based on 1 contract, etc., but on actual position sizing as contained in each system provider's signals. Hey, this isn't TradeStation, who's been getting away with that crime, I mean, omission, for years... As a vendor, you...

Yes, it's a widespread problem. If they show drawdown numbers at all, which many services don't. Not true for Collective2, though. The "Max Drawdown" number for any trading system at C2 correctly reflects the largest % drop seen in open (unrealized) P&L since inception of that system, not...

If you believe that you have a valid point to make, do feel free to go ahead. And please don't hold back next time; tell us how you really feel.

What was the exact time, relative to 8:30 am EST? And for how many seconds did the 20-pip spread last, as best as you can tell? Asking because I traded the NFP today: long, heavy @1.2820 stop (no slippage) within a second after the release. The quote just before that was about 01 / 11. I...

Observation 1: There is nothing particularly "mythical, invented, and hallucinatory" about, say, Oanda, MBT or IB. Observation 2: They are not that hard to find in the vastness of "the forex sea". (Hey, nice metaphor!) Observation 3: If someone can't make money trading with one of...

It's almost certainly "junior currency analyst", not "junior forex analyst". Are you thinking of dailyfx.com or fxstreet.com? Otherwise, just use your browser's "History" feature to view every page you visited yesterday. As a last resort, you could run a Google search for the phrase...
