Fundamentals for dollar exhausted, USD a highwire act at this price, 50 pips or so above 114 spot. Nikkei 225 has resumed march up, which will continue. (Those equities oversold last week on bird flu and other shadows.) So, on Globex, now buying near month Yen at and below .__8800, averaging...

This thread had been completely quiet for three months until my update today on a signals & trading scam that had been one topic of the thread earlier. You posted your signals here right after my update. That's why I suggested that your post might be poorly timed or poorly placed. No offense...

You might not want to post or promote signals in reply to a post about signal scammers. Just a suggestion. By the way, I may have understated the value of fxstreet.com to de Wet's scam. He was a featured commentator on that site (an expert, I suppose), not merely or only an advertiser...

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is an udate of interest on TeamForex, the subject of above posts. CFTC has grabbed hold, apparently. Update comes courtesy of a poster on Moneytec. (I'd note that TeamForex and its guru, James de Wet...

Tomcole, Agree my point somewhat varies from yours. I was looking at it from standpoint of a customer who trades size taking his play to Oanda. He'd wanna know there's some recourse in addition to yelling, "Hey, I want my money." According to the other poster, there's no performance: the...

He's saying, I believe, that if you're going to fire big bullets at Oanda, better make sure something's in the till. And why not? If Oanda is booking hundreds of these 10- and 20-million dollar trades each day, you'd think there'd be some substantial capital underpinning that business. What...

OK, Nick DeJour, you got me, I give, you're tops, a giant among mites.

Stopped out.

Saved from what? there's nothing at stake. It's like when you're sitting at the bar making "TV" bets on the ballgames -- you know, just pretend, but it breaks the monotony and makes for chatter.

Very hard to let this one pass: The only certain "armchair speculator" in this thread is the one you've sided with, FxSkaLper (or whatever the nick de jour is). The others may be actual traders. You, I have no idea about. As for messing up the thread, Ivan is the member who started it...

Sorry fellas but this is starting to smack of an infomercial. The query supposes that someone is hunting a place to trade. The person asking, if he's confident of his own judgment in the matter, has already foreclosed that, as follows: "On the basis of this discussion, as well my own...

SethArb, Are you sure your fade would fill on that spike? Here's a witty illustration started by another member (with my embellishment) in an older thread: --------------------------------------------------------- Quote from Equalizer: * * * * Spot FX - What is regulation? "Sorry...

Recent post in Journals forum (from another member), excerpted below, explains both what I have tried to do in this thread and what I hope to get in the way of knowledge from other members who decide to post here. It represents the counter-argument to those tempted simply to report entries...

Funny, very apt, and a tremendous, enlightening favor to the uninitiated. Wishful thinking -- "Geez, I'm so good at Game Boy, I know I can do this trading" -- does not change the fact that these platform-based spot fx dealers are utterly crooked.

Those nice-guy dealers are at it again, spreading their love like never before it seems, again measured by a recent post from that other board, below: _______________________________________________ "I have been trading forex for about 6 months. I have traded stocks for several years. A...

Not to worry, the bucketeers and their handymen are doing OK without you, as recent post below (from another board, unmentionable) shows: __________________________________________ "Open a 10k acct. w/ Refco and follow the recommendations in the 'signals and technical levels' section of...

I started the thread, but without any intention to make it a single-member thread. To be sure, I'd enjoy seeing Yen trades of any member, plus whatever insight anyone can offer. That is why I started the thread. Ideally, actual trades reported ahead of time would be accompanied by clear...

That's some good Kool Aid they're serving. With so many good opportunities from one vendor, why don't you favor us with one trade, posted ahead of time, measurable against your dealer's actual quotes? Us mortals could use it. P.S. Just how many Oandians do you reckon are in brackets to...

What's factually incorrect? Transaction costs are many times higher if you trade packaged crosses of the dealers, say EUR/AUD at 15, 18, or even 20 pips spread (which are usual), compared to making the same cross with futures in EUR/USD, AUD/USD (four of one, five of the other). I know that as...

P.S. I added that the add-ons (news, tools, etc.) the dealers offer on their platforms also are lures. Transactions costs are hugely lower with futures, by a factor as much as ten in my experience. Next, consider what "liquidity" means. With a dealer, you have NO liquidity. The dealer is...
