Hello. I did search on this, but didn't find anything that would answer my question. I found info on futures, etc, but not options. What's the best way to hedge a long EUR/JPY position using options? I'm assuming I should buy a put option. I'm looking for specifics. I went to...

ElectricSavant, Thanks! I'm glad they finally posted something. I wasn't worried until they shut down the thread with all the complaints. Frank

Does anyone know why Oanda has been down since Friday?

mmccormac, Wow, so they charge you $24 to go short, but pay you $2 to go long. I take it that most of their customers aren't carry traders. yeah, if I had 100k to invest in this, there are definately better options. :-) Thanks for the reply. Frank

Cybren, This is really helpful. Thanks! That's crazy that they close your trades everyday and then reopen them though. Frank

mmccormac, Thanks. I could go with a standard account. What do you mean by "all premium payouts are limited at .25 of a pip"? Do you have exact figures? Thanks, Frank

Marketsurfer, Do you know what they pay for 100,000 units? Also, what do they charge for a minilot? I'm just comparing, so any info will be helpful. Thanks, Frank

What does GFTForex pay for a mini lot of GBP/JPY for 24 hours? What do they charge to sell a minilot for 24 hours? 10,000 units long GBP/JPY 24 hours 10,000 units short GBP/JPY 24 hours I couldn't find this at their site. Thanks, Frank

Has anyone used Tradestation to Trade Forex? I'm looking to automate my own system, and I'm wondering if Tradestation can do it well. Thanks, Frank

I agree with you that no one should make it their trading style to trade on the weekends. However, there were a few times that I wanted to get out on the weekends for various reasons. I don't get home form work to close out trades before the weekend spreads on Friday. And, sometimes, there is...

Thanks for the advice on the weekend trades. That is very useful to know. I just pulled up their platform to see the exact spread this past weekend for 2 JPY pairs. USD/JPY was 10 pips, but GBP/JPY was 20 pips. 235.62/235.82 I thought both were 20 - I will check again this weekend...

I found a few others that said they were open on the weekends. Or at least they implied they were on their websites. The pairs I trade do have a 20 pip spread at Oanda. At least they did this past weekend. Look at USD/JPY

There's been several times where I wanted to exit my trades during the weekend, however, when doing so, I immediately lost part of my profits. For various reasons, I didn't want to hold the positions any longer. I'm not always in front of the computer to exit before the wide spreads start...

Several are open for trading on weekends. I'm sure there's more. But, I'm not looking for a count. I'm looking for who has the best weekend spreads.

Which broker has the lowest spread for major pairs during the weekends? 20 pip spreads are common during weekends and holidays, but that makes it impossible to trade. Yes, I did do a search, but did not get any results. Thanks, Frank

What was the conclusion from this post? Who has the best forex signal service? Is it FX Master? Thanks, Frank

Up another 1.57% in After Hours. It doesn't usually move this much in after hours trading. I bet investers are anticipating an announcement tomorrow. Whether or not they're right, we'll see. :-) Frank

The CEO is speaking tomorrow at a conference. I wonder if investors are anticipating an announcement or something? Frank

Did you see the following article yesterday? http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/061128/northfield_labs_mover.html?.v=1 Analyst Morgan Joseph assigned a target price of $6 for this stock. They don't expect FDA approval. Of course, it could go either way.

I can't find any either. I wonder if someone knows something that we don't.
