    Why do Pivots have credibility?

    random, ya, but if the indicators r simple enough to 'monitor', just because its likely that loads of ppl r going to look at them and place trades accordingly around the levels, it does tend to generate some form of liquidity windows, not necessarily deep or significant, not necessarily all the...

    How do I get noticed

    acrary, steve46 are spot on. samson, great stuff, but surely you realize that this is the proverbial exception (of which there are surprisingly disproportionately many on this forum...) in any case an Ops analyst job, be it so-called 'business / process / whatever' analyst at JPM will make...

    How do I get noticed

    funny my experience at major investment banks is the total opposite, dealers there were basically 'trading' on the basis of their knowledge of where the institutional flow was going, iow front-running client orders... doesn't mean i don't believe you... now if you allow one question sir, what's...

    need size? auto-quoting up to 100mio on all majors

    so thats what how the new DB platform works, they don't simply quote u VWAP 'rates'?? honestly i didn't demo it but had a look, to me it looked just like they were offering FXALL + ECNx + ECNy + their prop liquidity on a VWAP basis... but if they say "auto-quote"... didn't see that...

    need size? auto-quoting up to 100mio on all majors

    1in10 - we r talking abt hotspotfxi here, not hotspotfx the retail platform, my counterparties there r citifx etc. hotspotfxi is pure ecn taboni - we can get "guaranteed" fills 1-click ESP for up to 20mio on most majors at a long enough list of "generally ok" single dealer brokers (acm, saxo...

    need size? auto-quoting up to 100mio on all majors

    am sure they do what they need to do in fast mkts / around figures etc, not to worry the offer is unlike that of deutsche, its auto-quoting up to 100 mio, not tiered, otherwise who needs BARX, i can do that right now on hotspot and 5 other ecns... the spread on the ad - just an ad, i know...

    need size? auto-quoting up to 100mio on all majors

    yep whats unique here is BARX will fill u up to 100mio on their ESP quoted prices, instead of u getting filled in chunks of 5-10-20 tickets on an ECN, with prices moving against you most probably for that sort of size

    Serious Question on Napoleon Hill Theory of Sex Transmutation

    brilliant book but no wonder some of the folks out there think its all B/S fairy tale stuff... difficult to relate to a lot of the key contents if one doesn't have the relevant 'life experience(s)' imo, no offense meant to anyone...

    job choice help! Goldman Sachs or Trading Firm???

    true but it doesn't matter since there are hardly any real traders left at GS and at most IBs anyway, the great majority of their 'prop' guys simply trade off the tips from their sales desk... iow, they just front-run client orders... and u know why... because their best guys have long realized...

    Starting a Hedge Fund

    another more interesting option offered by some introducing / second-tier prime brokers is, since they normally have the infrastructure to deal with retail (whereas the primes are usually less well equipped if you aren't institutional-type), they let you use as much leverage as you can 'justify'...
