It's in the lower right hand corner of every post but it doesn't seem to do anything because Coinz is still here.

No, but I'd sound too much like a pompous ass if I wrote something like, "Here's to us for being smart enough to get in on the beginning of the move" so I used the standard "good Luck." Cheers.

Yes, the 1.2130 level is the 61.8% retrace of the 1.1970 to 1.2385 move. Good luck to both of us tonight. Cheers

I'm also long (from 41). Why did you pick 1.2196 as your target (I haven't picked a target yet)? Cheers

Neal, Not that I'm going to hold a long position from here to 1.20, but I think 1.20 is a poor place to abandon a long term view of the Euro strengthening against the dollar. Remember that only three weeks ago (8/4) the Euro bounced off the 1.1970 area. There was a lot of buying interest...

Bump.

Metooxx, You beat me to it with your comments...everyone else seems to intuitively understand this except Magna.

I don't know a lot of details, but the private owner of Refco is very old, if he is still alive. Could be the reason for the sale.

Absolutely agree. If there is a rule that says that we can't mention any company that is not an ET sponsor then half the threads on ET need to be deleted. Maybe Bruto didn't find it helpful, but then he didn't have to read it. It was a nice place for currency traders to converse. Because it...

If you are trading 1,000+ shares at a clip you can probably find a better broker who charges you the same or less than your current one.

http://quote.fxtrek.com/misc/fxcm.asp The spike to the 123.30 area on Friday afternoon (EUR/USD) has been removed. Anybody trading with FXCM that went short on Friday afternoon with a stop above 123.05 and below 123.30 that held it over the weekend (or tried to)? We would love to know if...

No, I would guess that it happens whenever they can make a killing by doing it or at least as often as they think they can do it and not loose too many customers. I doubt that it has anything to do with it being Friday but then I can be a cynical bastard. :D

As I understand it, spreadbetting is big in the U.K. because gambling profits are not taxed. Not really a need for it in the US.

The problem with retail forex brokers is that there is an inherent conflict of interest because the broker takes the other side of your trade and supplies the prices that you are trading. This looks like a classic example of price manipulation to run customer stops. Here is a link to the chart...

Why in the world would the NASD want to limit daytrading? I would think that they would like the liquidity it provides. :confused:

I forgot to address the bonds (the 30 year) part of the question: they trade in full tics (no half tics), in 32nds. P.S. This is for CBOT. Eurex US is different but don't think of trading it (Eurex US) at this time because there is almost no liquidity.

OK, I just looked at the chart on CBOT's web site and I guess the way to write it is 108'02.5 The prices that I'm used to looking at on X-trader don't have any punctuation; no ' or .

Well, I watch the market very closely. When I'm watching the market I know what the price has done in the last few minutes. I find one minute charts are too close to the noise and don't really give you accurate technical signals; chart patterns that appear in that short a timeframe are not...

A half tic is 1/64th and a full tic is 1/32nd (2 half tics). Each handle, like from 108 to 109, is $1,000. In the notes these are split into 64ths, which are the smallest movement they can make, which is a half tic, which = $15.625 per lot. From 108.02 to 108.025 is a half tic. 108.025 would...
