what does "it could be a good time to look at a few of the ones that have gone to a big discount to nav." "discount to nav" phrase mean? I know what discount (bonds) are, but don't know the lingo of "nav" I'm a big (corporate) bond fellow myself.. Have you looked at Interactive...

What website do you usually check to see this? How close to real-time is it?

Hi All, Just wanted to confirm a few things about the QG: (http://www.nymex.com/QG_spec.aspx) 1) is it really $25 per .005 move? 2) where is the best fundamental information source for QG? What website has the most news about QG/QM? I know QM has inventory reports Wednesdays.. does...

1) what is your definition of a "standing order" -- is this a "waiting to be filled order" in other words? 2) So when I see the ES has 2,500 ask size, and 300 bid size, that means at 1180 and 1180.25 there are a total of 2800 contracts waiting to be filled? 3) This is a great explanation...

Okay, so this brings up a good point I wasn't completely aware of. For example, yesterday I saw the ES ask size at like 2,500. The bid size was aruond 300 (the norm it seems). You are saying this could have been the result of many people placing LMT orders then cancelling them.. But I...

so when the bid/ask sizes move, it doesn't necessarily mean people are buying/selling at that specific price and it also doesn't mean people have to break through the bid/ask sizes to move the price. i understand this. is the bid/ask sizes basically a guage and the last price/size is the...

hi all, please help me understand bid/ask size movements... let's say on the ES bidsize:302 bidprice: 1185.25 asksize: 206 askprice: 1185.50 i sit here watching the bidsize slowly move down to 250,210,150,30,when it hits below 1, the price moves down an increment. if in the...

Even still, a fixed number of pips in your profit targets or stop targets (within reason) might not be the best approach. Sometimes it works great for people, sometimes it does not. Case in point: There have been times when I have arbitrarily set a stop limit to -15pip from my enter price...

So what were your support and resistance levels around 1.76 that you saw? What min chart were you looking at? What was the time frame, again? I like to pull up on the exact chart and see what you are seeing..

But I, and probably everyone else, want to know what made you decide to enter the trade at this particular point in time. That is what my last post was in regards to.. Next time you post your live trade, can you just tell us what market conditions convinced you to do so?

It was late last night so I forgot what date I was giving you an example of.. but I can give you countless examples: I found a reverse of what I posted originally. Here is 2005-04-20 08:29:56 EST (all within 1 second) bid: 1.3065 ask: 1.3066 last: 1.3064 bid: 1.3065 ask: 1.3066 last...

hey all, sometimes when the US reports come out at 8:30, the market seems to "skip a beat". in other words, the bid/ask jump within the same second sometimes 5, 10, 20 pips. Okay, so those who understand that part, I have a question for you: Let's say we're talking EUR/USD.. and it...

I'll bite. Ask yourself these questions right before your next trade you post on here (I am dying to know your answers) 1) what made you decide your enter price? was it an indicator? a way the chart looked? describe it in WORDS. not a "gut feeling". gut feelings only work if you are...

Hi rtstrading, I just wanted to confirm whether or not you based your forward test on the *ending backward testing $$*, or the intial $15K you started with. I just mention this because I see at the start of the forward testing you retrace over (or at least come very close to) the initial 15K...

pitrading, i am looking for EURUSD tick data for a year. all i need is bidprice/askprice/lastprice/datetime (to the second minimum). would you happen to know where i can get this? many thanks in advance,

I could show you chart after chart around 8:30-9:00AM EST of US econ reports that move the currency market 50+ pips in a direction... I still don't understand about no emperical evidence.. but I guess I will drop it.. k.

my system is simple: draw trendlines when you are in congestion bands. once you break above the trendline, follow the trend. this works on a small scale as well (doesnt have to be at 30min+ intervals, for example) for us scalpers :>

I'm sorry I did not mean to bash you in particular. I just meant to get a conversation going. Why do you believe who will win what election, the econ reports, etc, has no effect on the FX MKT?
