    How do you Trade Forex

    After comparing the Euro FX future's price gap with the EUR/USD spot price gap some times when markets were extreme volatile, such as right after NFP or TICs releases, I found the two gaps were always the same or had 1 to 2 pips difference(spot's were normally larger). No observations and then...

    FX View Analysis for May 2005 and Beyond

    Maybe not. The result of EU summit could have already been expected by markets. I think euro's crazy rise on last Fri was due to euro shorts' liquidation or short squeeze. Even the euro dips a little at the opening of Mon, it will still rise by the end of the day.

    IB liquidity providers will screw you

    Bloomberg terminal costs $1,500/month? Yes, you really have your edge to trade figures. I think few members here are so lucky as you to afford a Bloomberg terminal. :) Do you use Bloomberg API which I heard can be applied to transfer eco figure to a proprietary trading platform? The actual...

    IB liquidity providers will screw you

    Good. The quote tends to move very fast right after eco figure release. To reduce the risk to buy at the top or sell at the bottom when trading figures, you may carefully select those figures which can move the market not just in the first minute. There suppose to be a lot of traders will...

    IB liquidity providers will screw you

    1. Your buy limit order will also be executed between 53 and 60. Do you forget it? 2. Let's get rid of the buy limit order first then continue discussion. Your sell limit order will most likely be executed between 42 and 50, otherwise it will just reside @42, as you said "If you are too slow...

    Which order will be executed first?

    Thank you late apex. I copy the below paragraph from CME Rulebook: As you described in the last post, the price for stop-limit order should refers to the stop price instead of the limit price. For example, a stop-limit sell order with stop @2090 and limit @1900 has priority to a...

    If there is a basket, USD will be the biggest component of it. Then will be JPY, EUR and HKD. South Korean Won and Singapore Dollar may be also included.

    Which order will be executed first?

    Yes, I actually meant to ask the execution order of two stop limit orders but I don't want to make the question complicated. You can suppose No.1 limit order was placed when its stop @20 was triggered @8:30:19 and No.2 limit order was placed when its stop @18 was triggered @8:30:20. So will...

    Which order will be executed first?

    No.1: a limit sell order @1.2110 on Euro FX placed @8:30:19am. No.2: another limit sell order @1.2115 placed @8:30:20am the same day. Suppose the current time is @8:30:21am and the current bid price is 1.2117. Due to there are a large amount of limit sell orders to be executed, No.1 is still...

    Chinese Yuan

    Do you have ways to covert CNY back to dollar after CNY reval? CNY is not an free exchangable currency in capital account. USD/CNY NDF can be a good choice. But it will take you some time to find a broker having that product and the initial deposit may not be small.

    Chinese Yuan

    Search USD/CNY NDF in google. If you have enough money, you may choose to trade NDF. I suppose it is leveraged.

    You are too sensitive, Chood. They are just interested in Saxo's news plug-in, not Saxo's dealing.

    end of fundamental trades

    In the 4th quarter of 2004, dollar fell on better than expected nfp. Fundamentals work in very short term, generally less than 5 minutes, called knee-jerk reaction, or will work in very long term, maybe several months or several years. Only the influence of knee-jerk reaction makes sense in...
