This entire situation has me very freaked out. What is Bernanke not telling us? Are they pinning down the front of the curve becasue the banks are in much worse shape than anyone thought and they need the curve to continue to steepen to survive and avoid another crisis? Is the EuroZone...

I don't know what models trade journal is talking about, but i think if you look at a few different chart time frames from montyly n to 4 hour, the question isn't if we are going to print 1.51, but how soon. E is setting up beatifully, and a break above 1.51 has the potential to have a quick...

OK, very few people on this forum who have ever been stupid enough to do things that would result in being incarcerated. I have been several times. From the time I was 15 years old I was involved in illegal gambling and all the nasty stuff that goes with it. This was before the explosion of...

What does "assist with the structure" mean? [/B] I don't know exactly, risk. I assume recomending or making introductions to law firms, expediters, banks. That type of thing.

Everytime you post you seem to go out of your way to make my point for me. I agree completely. Russia does not have a firm, well established government based on the rule of law. They are also a nascent capitalist economy. Switzerland has been a haven for those who want to skirt the law for a...

Thank you pippi, That is the kind of stuff I was looking for before getting into a snit with "risktaker". Solid, first hand accounts that could lead to more research. I didn't even think of the standard size issue becasue I don't trade that big or with either "broker". So they are probably...

That is very interesting. It is a good point that a lot of companies with the S.A. designation are legitimate and trustworthy. Thank you for your help clearing up if it is safe to buy chocolate from S.A. food companies. I am wondering if you also have any information regarding currency...

No of course not, but Switzerland + Bearer Share Corp + Russians + "Forex Broker" ........ I mean, come on, I think maybe you get my point. Don't be a retard.

Dear, Fluttrader, The April 2009 issue, page 86, in the "trade news & roducts" section. Kind of suprised me. You need pretty good credit to clear trades through EBS I always thought. I don't know, I have always kind of viewed Duka with a jaundiced eye, but that kind of relationship makes...

Just wondering, because noone seems to have any experience trading with them. Every time I open an industry publication it seems there is a bullet announcing a new development with this firm, and the developments sound pretty impressive. To name a couple, TA of Stocks and Commodities announces...

You have almost zero counterparty risk when you use a Clearing member of the CME. Don't let anyone cloud the issue. it is the safest way to take posession of any "commodity" bar none.

Russ, Thanks for the time you took to reply. I really appreciate it. I was drawn to MP because it seems like a well developed methodology for viewing and analyzing the markets. The set-up portion is important to me, because I would like to make some money and at least keep myself in the...

Is anyone familiar with this outfit for Market Profile type anaylsis and modeling training. Just gave their site a quick look through after listiening to a few CME educational webinars regarding MP. The gentleman who gave the seminars, Tom Anderson, recomended this site, going as far as...

Ok, ok, you are too clever for me I think, thanks for the compliment though. Very rarely have I ever posted anything, about any subject, andd been almost completely right!!!! P.S. Is it time to start bailing on the risk currencies for the short term yet :) I think maybe it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think everyone needs to chill out a bit about Leverage levels. First of all, some people like to gamble and throwing 3 or 4 grand in an account and taking a shot at a score is the whole point of these Forex shops. One could even make the arguement that a new trader who has a negative...

Was playing golf with a top guy from the Northern Trust, which, by the way, is in pretty good shape, who had a great response when asked why they seem to be holding up so well. His off the cuff remark was "good bankers don't make loans that they think aren't going to be paid back". Pretty...

Gain, too bad. "we gaurantee everything" ***unless we don't ;)

No, thats not what it means. When you close a trade your profit in loss is in the qoute currency, which is converted back to dollars on settlement. The risk is to open foreign currency profit or loss between the close of your trade and the settlement. This can work for or against you, but is...

Thanks for the compliment jem, but I don't really know if "I know". That's the rub. His question, although laughable to many, strikes at the core of the psychological aspects of trading. Let's spin a scenario all discretinary traders (and I suspect many system traders as well) have been...
