    Spot Forex Spread/Hedge

    I'm curious here, how many units are you both using in your trade? Also, are you actually earning any interest on this trade? It must be minuscule at best, what you are making on interest on your synthetic long eur/jpy trade must be offset by your short real eur/jpy position, no?

    Spot Forex Spread/Hedge

    Well here, let me throw a curve ball your way in this discussion. How would it work out if one added another leg to this mentioned trade? Long eur/usd + short gpb/usd which equals the that long synthetic (would that term even apply here?) eur/gbp. But what if were to also put in a short...

    Spot Forex Spread/Hedge

    I concur with the person that used the EUR/USD and GBP/USD example. I've tried a similar trade using USD/CHF and EUR/USD. What I ended up with was basically EUR/CHF outright (the USD on the two pairs essentially cancel each other out). The only way to gauge where that "hedge" or "spread" was...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    So long as it isn't naked pictures of this guy using his "trading station" unique cutting board "indicator" to make food when he had to take delivery on those Kung Pow Chicken futures, I think we'll be ok. Man, if there was ever a visual que on convincing people to get out more if you're gonna...

    Greetings everyone, I hope you all are having a profitable quarter! I was wondering if you good folks could give me advice on something. A while ago I managed to procure a copy of Tradestation 2000i Omega Research Pro Suite from a pal who quit trading (He went into real estate). Right now...

    Asian trading reversals?

    I keep hearing that currencies, during Asian trading hours, tend to go in an opposite direction of a trend to that of the European hours. Is this true? What has been your experience on this? Are there any particular currencies that behave this way much of the time (i.e. USD/JPY or EUR/JPY)...

    OK, this is odd. First I wasn't able to log on, then (while posting a similar post on ET), I was able to log on. Now I can't again. What gives? Anyone else having this problem?

    Louis Rukeyser passes

    It was his show, at a very early age, that introduced me to the markets. His passion for economics and the markets was very easily transmittable, and why not? Unlike some talking heads today, when he spoke to either his guests or the camera, he was really speaking to you. He was saying to us...

    Quotetracker request

    I was wondering, will it be possible to export data from OANDA onto QT? Their charting application is ok, but I like yours better. Both OANDA and IB use java, so I was wondering if this was possible at all, any plans of including it, etc? Thank you for giving us such a wonderful application!

    Anyone trades spreads??

    oOO, I saw your reviews on Amazon. I'm still a newbie on all this spread stuff, so I'm going to get all the info I can on this. I will look into this Ross book. I came across a book Advanced Commodity Spread Trading by Harold Goldberg , what do you think of that book as well? Also, do...
