it's just games and fakes. i know guys who if they're long start posting up crazy amounts on the bid to show strenght, or they'll post on the offer, then pull it to make it look like some has hit the offer and is going up. it's a lot of noise and crap that you have to ignore.....

enjoy it while it lasts, i've heard that most of the ecn's are looking at getting rid of rebates altogether and going to a 0, 1 model (0 rebate, 1 to take)

"Go perform fellatio on a drunk porcupine". I love that !! :D

the reason that there is a lack of response is that it isn't a new strategy. Same thing on Nasdaq stuff. Once in a while you see a massive buyer or seller and you can go with him. Not really a secret, only trouble is timing when he's done, which is a very dangerous game to play.

obviously if you are trading hundreds of contracts it is more difficult to enter all at once, but from my experience of trying both scaling in/out and all at once, that all at once is better for the simple fact that either my call is correct or not. If it is, then I profit much more than by...

F1 driver would be awesome. These guys, like schumacher, are gods all over the world, not to mention he makes a cool $100 mil a year.....Have you seen the girls these guys get? And they all live in Monaco...tough life:D

on an earlier post someone mentioned Canada. I disagree. Most people here would love to leave. Think of 10 months of cold, crappy weather, and 2 months of uncomfortably high heat and humidity. I too am considering moving, but only a warm place. Or at least if it's cold, that there's some...

I'm actually talking to a few companies about being sponsorship opportunities. You might see me in an ad saying "My trading is up 37% over last year, and I owe it all to Bud Light. "

interesting stuff.... at this site http://www.freedomdomain.com/skullbones.html lists a bunch of names and people in it. Looks like a business club, a really old club. I think things like this were more in vogue a hundred years ago. I can't see this group running the world. But if they...

my week has been very exhausting, but still profitable, albeit not like the 3rd week of March. THAT was my kind of week. Oh well, in this market you have to grind it out until the better moves happen. enjoy the weekend, and forget about this week. NExt week will be better....:D cheers

i would not believe any stats on the industry. Who comes up with that stuff?? When was the last time someone called you and said they were with an organization to count how many traders are successful?? Yes i know plenty of failures. I know of successful people too. If you are afraid to...

I think the real question is are we getting our money's worth?? I mean, are they stopping illegal activities?? (I doubt that) And if they are receiving money from fines, why not apply that to their budget and offest that by keeping our fees low?? nobody can say this is a small amount. Over...

qdz2, if the firm is so bad, why are you still there? I was surprised to learn that about you. I can understand some NEW information about IB, but you want to piss on them no matter what happens. can we end this?? I'm sick of having to flip through these posts to find some relevant...

Your concern is valid, but we are simply exploring a hypothetical question. such as 'will the Dolhpins go all the way next year?".... (YES!!!) Nobody here is encouraging anyone to do anything. Although, away from prying eyes might serve people better.... interesting post though....

couldn't you transfer the money into a bearer bond in your home country, then fly and deposit that bond in the other country??

great post. this post has really gotten me interested in poker. I've been avid sportsbetter for years, and playing the odds is what I do best. Thanks for all of the information about books and sites etc....At the very least I'll learn a new skill, and maybe make a small profit :D

to desrcibe trading as a pro-golfer is correct. You compete against yourself, and all traders have losing trades. It's how you react to those setbacks that differentiate the good traders from the bad traders. look at Tiger after a bad shot. I've never seen a guy come back from being in the...

why can't we all just get along? i listen to everything, house, metal, classical, rock, jazz - but nothing in the top 40. Too boring, same crap over and over. canuck

I started to accumulate even more if I'm right and the move I feel will run strongly. It seems we haven't had those days in a long time, but in a strongly moving market, if after a move we have a small move back, and I feel that we have more to go I'll go in with more. I still have the...

i agree with all of the posters stating that FX trading should be only done on a long-term basis. One of the main problems, touched on earlier, is lack of transparency of volume. Whereas on your Level 2 you see GSCO on the bid all day. An FX deal can go between bankers and you end up chasing...
