    Aud/usd

    AUS well bid tonight on continued strong employment, stronger than expected I gather from the press. When Europe and US open this session, I expect "adult supervision" to bear and knock down this spike -- back below .8300. I believe the factors for the six-cent move to this level, including...

    Profinum closed, why?

    Correct. The deal closed at a dice game in the Green Zone. Unfortunately, after the game, BigDoughFX's head of IT, Patel Patel, was injured by an IED. For that reason, platform functionality for customer withdrawals will be delayed. Patel had been working on adding that functionality to the...

    once and for all FX broker that's real deal

    This is the second recent thread pumping this forex retailer. The first one tried to convince the audience that the retailer's practice of re-quoting prices is a sign of fairness (i.e., honest dealing), not the opposite.

    Aud/usd

    Knife jugglers alert (a bit tardy): AUS is where you want to be this week, starting a few hours ago. I'm not one, however.

    Profinum closed, why?

    Au contraire, which is french for "I beg to differ." (Foreign currencies, foreign language, is what I say.) I understood this pioneering forex retailer was bought out by BigDoughFX, another pioneer in the field. Most likely, an all-dinar deal.

    Saxo Bank Has Screwed Me

    You are correct, sir. Vigilance is the price of freedom, don’t forget (freedom from bucketing, I mean). Imagine the green envy Saxo and other forex retailers suffered as they observed the RefcoFX saga, a snippet of which reveals the enviable customer base those other retailers dreamed of...

    Saxo Bank Has Screwed Me

    The email to the OP (and his story) would appear fishy but for the fact that the context is retail forex, where the norms are, in no particular order: preposterous; unabashed, straight-faced dishonesty; and mind-numbing gullibility. This is the biz, after all, in which a forex...

    Sirius and XM Announce Merger

    I guess that two-thirds of the 3 dollar price that obtains now simply expresses the probability of a buyout bid. Stock is not worth more than a buck, in other words, except as a target.

    Spot and Options

    It's Saxo branded as RCG, although you won't find any mention of that on the RCG website. Or at least not when I looked at that site some time ago.

    Oanda just another bucket shop

    I see this thread has reverted to topic, which is the promotion of one fx retailer at the expense of another. It’s artful at least, a cut above the Golden Age of forex shilling, i.e., of a few years ago, when stuff like this populated boards like this: Bud: "Often when I click the live...

    Oanda just another bucket shop

    I believe Misha7, whose post you refer to, is trying to convert the thread into a substantive discussion or critique. Without his post, the thread is little more than a sales pitch, as in -- "The forex retailer I use is much better than the one you use, and you can find out about mine...

    Is there fx broker accept Japan yuan deposit

    You're in luck. Eccentric instruments like Japanese yuan are specialties of BigDoughFx, about which you can read on this thread: www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?postid=1382792#post1382792

    Senator's Aide Busted For Carrying Pistol Into Capitol

    Evidently, no one thinks very much of the above. I must be the only person who agrees with AAA that the parties oughta "walk the walk."

    Daily Fx plus

    Geez, I wonder who is on the other side of these signalled trades? Let's see if we can Sherlock Holmes the answer. First, FXCM signals its retail customers, who act on the signals by buying or selling virtual currencies on the FXCM platform at the virtual prices signalled. Second, the...

    CFG Trader/Forefront Investments Corporation - NFA Emergency Action

    On top of that, loans made merely on a promise of repayment and without collateral are by definition risky, so this news hardly is unexpected.

    CFG Trader/Forefront Investments Corporation - NFA Emergency Action

    For customers of fx retailers, account withdrawal is overblown. It isn't a necessary functionality of a fx retailer's product suite.

    Senator's Aide Busted For Carrying Pistol Into Capitol

    I agree with AAA here. More pols and the parties oughta “walk the walk,” as Webb and his staffer do. Call it anti-hypocrisy, or personal correctness: carry a gun, oppose gun control. Let’s hope personal correctness heralds a fresh, invigorating break with the past by the Dems and...

    Respect and authenticity

    Absolutely true that it's product and profit from the entertainers' (O'Reilly's and Coulter's) point of view. But is it moral? Or does that matter?
