I am aware of the test, of course. I don't think it to be a surprise at all. It was in fact announced by the north-coreans themselves last week. And longer term is not a surprise either as it's been years since we all know that north-coreans have the capability of building multiple nuclear...

If you are looking for a market maker and you are also looking for lowest spreads, then the answer can be only Oanda. It has variable position size, fractional pips, continuous interest payment, fast execution, reasonable slippage. Perhaps most imporant, it is probable the largest non-bank forex...

if you have a pair MainCCY/MoneyCCY: to get 1unit of MoneyCCY per pip, you need spot * 10000 units of MoneyCCY. to get 1unit of MainCCY per pip, you need spot * 10000 units of MainCCY This in case the number of significant digits of the pair is 4. For USDJPY you have to multiply the...

As was expected, Dukascopy.NET (the retail division) ended all their trading activity, and send me an email warning to close any open positions. They gave about one month to do so. I had two options - to liquidate the account and have my funds sent back, or to move my account to Dukascopy.com...

I guess in such cases with very small edge, the spreads and/or commissions will eat all your profits.

I'll give 100000-1 if FOMC cuts rates by 0.50. It's a complete imposiblity. I'll give 1000-1 for a raise by 0.5

I don't think it's overblown. It only appears to be, because the pandemic has not started yet. The disease cannot be transmitted from human to human. In very rare occasions it can be transmitted from bird to human. This is not the problem. The problem is that the virus may suffer mutations, and...

The US Dollar may collapse (or may not :-) ), but this does not mean by any chance that the forex market will collapse. Since USD collapsing simply means the other currencies strenghtening against it. The volume traded and volatility will not collapse, on the contrary, a weak dollar would mean...

Spot is traded electronic interbank. EBS is the largest electronic market for spot, Reuters the second (as far as I know). In the wholesale zone (some say this is in fact retail) there are Currenex, Hotspotfxi, Lava, FXAll. All these are the equivalent of ECN's, they are in fact exchanges...

INTP definitely here. I took the tests two years ago, but I quite sure I'm still INTP now. Software engineer.

I traded with them for a while with a mini account (you could open these at dukascopy.net). They seemed OK. Customer service was good (as opposed to horrible stories about weeks of waiting for a reply to an email). The problem is that I havent traded in the last 5 month. And now, I was...
