Why is this completely wrong? Though Oanda does not disclose their hedging mechanism, this is almost certain the basic concept for hedging positions applied by Oanda.

The problem is the proposed document is no constitution. It deals with the powers between sovereign states, where a constitution is a document laying the foundation for a sovereign state. The EU leaders thought to be smart and name the document 'constitution' to symbolize unity, but it...

The dutch referendum is non binding because it is constitutionally not possible to hold a binding referendum. The main parties will uphold the vote if the turnout is above 30%. How do you mean the Spanish people did not have access to 'the third' part of the constitution. The constition can...

Lol :D :p

ah, that would explain. South African is based on 17th century dutch :)

Luilekkerland misschien? :D english

Where are you from? :)

Well, my reply is gone. I replied that if the constitution is not adopted the status quo will be maintained. Remember that 90% of what the constitution sets out is already in effect today by means of the different treaties. It will probably have impact on the market, but not for long...

Yeah, closed out at 27 before #. gtg now anyway :)

You expect good US #, and you take on a long position? :confused:

EUR returned to the lows, testing support. It could well be another test before the correction. -2540 edit: lower low, good I was still short :)

For citizens of countries not party to the Schengen treaty restrictions exist that govern the length of ones stay within the combined union. The general rule stipulates a maximum 90-day stay within a 180-day period beginning from the first day of entry. One may leave and return a number of times...

The rollover allows you to keep your position active. At Oanda no fees apply to this rollover if I'm correct. So holding currency long term at a FX broker is indeed possible.

The only cost for opening and closing a FX position is the spread. The spread on the majors is at most a few pip. If you are in for the longer run and for example gain 10 cents (1000 pip), you pay about 5/1000 of your gains as spread cost. If you speculate on for example EUR/USD at Oanda your...

Some brokers do not guarantee any stop, slippage is always possible. Other brokers guarantee stops, but make an exeption for volatile market conditions (=when the market gaps). See the * on the page below for RefcoFX http://www.refcofx.com/whyrefco.html I believe 'volatile market...

I'm not saying you are incorrect, it's just strange as stops are not guaranteed anymore. This trick would effectively allow you to place guaranteed stops.

I don't know about margin calls, but I doubt if what the other guy said is correct. Mind that you are liable for the funds in your account. If you take on a 150k position in the example above, this would not mean you could maximally lose $250. If this is true, this could be used as a guaranteed...

1:100 leverage equals 0.01 margin. 1:20 leverage equals 0.05 margin. 1:10 leverage equals 0.10 margin. etc, etc, etc. 1:100 leverage means you can buy 100 times the funds in your account. So $10k lets you buy 1 M units at 1:100 leverage. Mind that some forex brokers set different...

Why get offensive? I do not understand your math either, it's not well formatted. Your spread/commission is based on the units traded and the spread (like TriPack explained). The exchange rate is only a factor when the quote currency is not the same as your account base currency. The funds in...
