if cpi isn't the most important piece of data at the moment then I dont know what is

the pnl you make from any pair will always be in the currency of the underlyer (depending on which way you look at it), in this case the pnl will be in JPY. For pairs where USD isn't the underlying currency, you dollar tick value will not be a constant but will depend on the prevailing rate...

i think he's looking for prop firms or smaller outfits with fx desks not fx brokers

why woudl you want to trade hkd or any other that's pegged to usd?

If you think any broker is stupid enough to guarantee stop and entries on limit orders you've a lot to learn. Noone is going to willingly hand you money on a plate. It is quite evident what your strategy is and your best bet is to try an ecn or better still ... a different strategy. And even on...

totally agree on the realtime p&l. Can't quite see the need for realtime VaR though, but i agree, if you're trading purely spot fx, nothing more than a simple var/covar approach is needed which will hardly put a strain on the cpu. It seems likely that the revenue generated from idealpro...

do a search for pairs trading

you're going to find that quite difficult to do as there have been plenty of systems doing this for years now. The difficulty in doing this (apart from the latency disadvantage you'll have over the banks' prop desks) is selecting you spot fx broker. If you select a retail broker (with an api)...

If you're trading with a retail broker, depending on their platform you might be able to get away with this strategy in small sizes, assuming you always get filled at your limit price ( there are some brokers that allow this ). You of course have to place your limit straddle fairly tight aroudn...

wow, someone's really got a life, refreshing the page every 5 seconds to see if there are any replies. Doesn't your mum let you out of the house?

perhaps you didn't understand my last message .. read it again. If it still doens't make sense just ask .. don't worry, noone will laugh at you ...

tell you what .. you post your ytd statement and I'll post mine ... or, you can sit down and shut up.

hahhaa ... you're a joke

then let's get back to discusing the fact that you've absolutely no idea what yo're talking about. It's always fun to laugh at ppl like you

again you're making incorrect assumptions. I've worked for a hedge fudn that admittedly was a credit and convarb fund but still dealt fx on a relatively large scale. THey still called up their brokers to trade fx and probably got a worse quote than you could on currenex/fxall. As for better...

and of course you're mr big shot. I retract my statement and bow down to you.

12% annual return is not a success? You've absoultey f-all idea what you're talking about. What do you think the % of >$1bn hedge funds that generates more than 12% is?

Firstly I'm not saying that majority of spot fx traders are more succesful than futures traders. I do however am in a good position to state that the majority of futures traders are not particularly succesful and end up simply providing liquidity. Most ppl I see on this thread appear to be too...

and you're 100%, I repeat 100%, certain of that are you? Even if you were to be shown statements showing otherwise? OR wodl you simply say that they've been doctored. I'll be the first to admit that spot fx isn't the product of choice for somone starting out trading with only 5k as capital...
