    Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

    I found that I had to resave the ET links in my favorites to get the little ET icon to show up. Once I did that the little icons stayed. Cheers, TRADERguy P.S. Have fun for the rest of the week. I'll be out of the game because I'm moving. It's time for me to put the computers and...

    is futures prop BS??

    Since you are "an introvert" and "like being alone" prop may not be for you. This is especially the case since you have your own capital and seem to want to trade longer term than scalping. It might be better for you to do what you can to minimize the occurrence of technical problems and stay...

    I'm thinking of going with IB but quite frankly posts like this scare me. What exactly does "PS! You guys might have a cached DNS lookup which might expire at a reboot, logout etc. " mean? Exactly how often do you have technical problems (excluding API related stuff)? Thanks, TRADERguy

    Chinook, Thanks for the links to the adjustable moving average stuff (and the women:D ). What do you find the advantages of tick charts to be? I have always been leery of excluding time from my charts. Thanks, TRADERguy

    Chinook, If you don't consider it proprietary info, I would love to see what type of adaptive moving average and what type of trailing stops you use. Easy language would be fine although if you wrote an english language version prior to coding that would be killer. Thanks, TRADERguy

    If you come up with anything, please let us know. I've often felt that using a trailing stop, at least some of the time, would help my trading but I have not been able to decide on what type of trailing stop and what parameters to use. Cheers, TRADERguy

    I thought that with IB you somehow got out of paying the exchange fees. How does it work with them?

    My 2 cents is to learn to sit on your hands when the market doesn't present any trade setups that fit your trading plan. Read ET threads, listen to Bloomberg, review charts, do fundamental research, play video games, play with your pets, surf the net, or get a BJ from your girlfriend/wife. :D

    Here is the August 10th Fed statement. With a 25 basis point hike so priced in, I think people will be focusing on changes in the statement. Of course it may not change much; so today's release might be a non-event. Release Date: August 10, 2004 For immediate release The...

    What am I missing about GlobalFX?

    You might want to look into CME currency futures; its a fair market where your broker does not take the other side of your trade.

    What am I missing about GlobalFX?

    If you live in NYC and want to trade retail forex (FXCM) with your own funds in an office setting then this might be worth it because you get Bloomberg. Other than that they don't offer much. Their matched funding program really just doubles your leverage because your funds are at risk before...

    I use Worldtime 6, a clock that is displayed on your computer screen that shows the time in different cities. You can chose the locations and the times are synchronized with an atomic clock. Mine displays the time for Chicago, New York, UTC (GMT), London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Sydney, and...

    If you are looking to save on transaction costs you might look in to remote prop trading (using your money with a 100% payout). When looking into a leased seat be sure to check to see if the exchange fees rise over time. I have a friend that leased a seat at CBOT and after a while the fees...
