LOL, the only ting stolen around here are the Iraqi reconstruction funds and the handouts of taxpayer dollars to friendly shareholders in the big banks. Must be great to be part of such an ethically conscious gang.

I've just opened a HSFXi account, but it's not funded yet and I still only have access to the sim server. So, I haven't been able to see the real FXi feed with executable prices - I gather that the sim feed consists of a fudged marketplace with orders generated by marketmaking algos. What is...

I've got a feeling we're going to 500 usd again, triggered by deflation and a stockmarket that continues to be depressed in a calm manner.

LOL, I agree!

Al Franken is great - I've been watching his campaign for a long time, and have read his "Lies"-book on the consistant Republican lying (good read for anyone with a brain). I look forward to what he can do as Senator Al - maybe he can make some R's regret they didn't wear diapers when they shit...

I'd say between 1 and 2 normally for Euro, with 1.5 as an average. Cable varies more, perhaps 4-5.

http://www.fxedge.com/ They're only institutional, not retail. I indicated 700k-2m USD as equity. They did mention 2m as a minimum at a time, but they were willing to go lower with some volume. I'll also add that I haven't yet made up my mind, but that I might stick with Interactive...

I should add: I've only looked at spot, and not considered roll rates, options or forwards.

I've recently tested feeds, and wanted to share my findings. Everything is compared to my current broker Interactive Brokers: CAX - VcapFX This feed aggregates all the main ECNs, has some prop-groups and hedge funds and a bank that wants to remain anonymous. Once you get away from EUR/USD...

It takes a few weeks for the war crimes to become known... Imagine there are still areas of Gaza city more than two weeks later that the International Red Cross have yet to gain access to. This is a horrible, horrible war crime - imagine what's going on there. Israelis supporting the war are...

It's outrageous, really.

1) First you said naked long options for $1000, and then it's spreads for $1000. Which one is it? Obviously spreads for $1000 is a smaller position and less risky than $3000. But that wasn't the point. 2) and 3) I agree with what you're saying, but it's not really about the stop-loss orders...

Looks like you're confusing the initial premium paid with risk, dagnyt. I assume you use stoploss with spreads?

No, someone else lost the argument and stopped repLYING.

Would anyone be so kind as to let me know the rough ranges of the spread on these three platforms nowadays, Euro-session for EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY? I have FXi on sim, but just figured out that their sim-server has absolutely nothing to do with their real server (!).

I believe that a bigger order would be routed and filled in IDEALPRO, so I guess they don't have a limit other than the IDEALPRO limit which I think is about 4-5 million.

Quote from a_person: Of course having Hamas on their border they had a plan on how to deal with Gaza, it does not change the fact that Livni was in Egypt desperately trying to renew the ceasefire and avoid exercising this plan altogether while Hamas was sabotaging it by lobbing hundreds of...

Yes, Hamas gained control of the Gaza Strip after the civil-war-like 2007 clashes - after they won the 2006 election. You shouldn't pretend they didn't win that election, regardless of what you/we might think of Hamas. I think I agree with your second point, in the sense that most...

Although I agree with every single comment about Hamas you made, I also think it's obvious to anyone observing the situation from a distance that Israel carries their fair share of blame for why there is no peace. Settlements, no retreat to the old borders, the apartheid-like rule - it's not...

Too tempting to comment this: Financing of Fatah: Yes, definitely. Why wouldn't US/Israel support Fatah instead of Hamas? But democracies of course fire rockets. Israel bombs, and the US also fire rockets. In that respect, there's no difference. Israels preparation: Ever since their...
