Didn't finish reading the whole article, but it actually points to something very different than what a lot of people are concluding. Eventually, everyone has to face reality. - If gold prices are being supressed, then buy it and take delivery. If they can deliver it at that price, then it's...

Correlation between EURUSD and Equities has been pretty good recently, but don't count on it to last forever. Understanding the ECB policy vs the Fed policy will help to understand why the EUR tends to go up during bull markets and down during bear markets (ECB protects against inflation...

1. Make lots of money. 2. Claim greatness. 3. Lose all your gains in one day.

General correlation is that GBP will get stronger as stocks get stronger, including the FTSE. I don't know if the FTSE-GBP correlation is any better than something like the S&P-EUR correlation though.

A week or two ago, I heard rumors that China was acting in the gold market... which I heard right after a large spike in gold. I never was able to confirm it, but keep your ears open for any news from China in regards to buying commodities as opposed to Treasuries.

On Comex, the top step month (M for about another week when it'll roll to Q) is very active with many different traders and many different sizes. In every month past that, it appears to be one or more market makers who are all making the same approximate $0.40 wide market in each month. So...

It doesn't seem like you're particularly interested in more commodities... just want to get away from the dollar a bit, right? I'd go with the poster that recommended a basket of currencies for that purpose which you can customize to your liking. Take a look at USDJPY, EURUSD, AUDUSD, USDCAD...

Wouldn't that be good for the algos? So don't the algos want Full Ticks too? Not sure why people keep blaming the algos. Perhaps the guys here lost their money-stream to algos? It seems like the only ones who would want half-ticks is Eurex itself.

Depending on the time of the day, €50 million won't move the market more than 0.0005. €8 billion? Depends on how you execute it. If you just hit the market... I wouldn't expect to get completely filled (I could be wrong, never tried that much, and I don't know how much size sits far off...

Uhh, this example has nothing to do with money management and everything to do with having an edge. If you want to talk about money management at a casino, then talk about how much capital they have on reserve to pay for jackpot situations or what size jackpot they're willing to run. Like, a...

Why would the BUND drop on that while the Schatz and BOBL went up?

Any idea on what happened during Trichet's press conference to cause this reaction in the 2-10 spread?

What sort of filters are you putting in to avoid silver breakdowns?

You are correct. Be very careful about over-fitting a data set. The character of the market changes quite frequently. Two real options: 1. Take the longest time period available to you and create a strategy that consistently works on the entire data set. 2. Take a short term data set, fit...

To keep this brief: Yes, there is plenty of opportunity to make money in Forex... more than enough to live on. If you could capture every pip in a single day in the 6E futures with a 1 lot, you could probably live on it for a year. The chances that you'll be able to find even a tiny fraction of...
