On bloomberg, you can have the bid/ask spread of the interbank in real time. On average 2-3 pip spread on EUR/USD. Most hedge funds do not participate in the interbank. They talk to brokers and get filled like everyone else.

Surfer, The big currency guys do trade the spot, or they trade forwards. Soros doesn't trade the futures, he trades the spot. The liquidity is a lot better in the spot, I don't care who said what about futures. You could probably buy 200,000,000 euros without moving the market if you do it...

Darkhorse, I truly enjoy your posts. I hope the trolls roaming about these forums never deter you from posting your thoughts as they are quite often right on the mark. Concerning your post and having worked for a large fund, I believe you are somewhat right but I think that they also trade...

Damn right bro, been long ever since 1.2145 hit

Reverse @ 1.2136. This is not my day I think ;) Thank god it's just a half day.

Talk about loss of control, I was up 20 pips on that previous trade, get distracted two seconds, come back to being up only 7 pips. Try to get out of the trade, press the wrong button, get double whammed and then square my position but then forgot about my stop loss that got triggered, so I was...

Digital as in DVI ? Possibly, I think there are some adapters.

You are so wrong, it is not funny. Unfortunately, Eurex will overtake this market completely, taking no prisoners.

Marketsurfer; GFTForex offers the same deal, it's called ITX Execution and basically you can make your own market. How's trading FX going otherwise? November results are in for GFT.

huh Setharb?

Alright, let's see who agrees with you. If everyone has access to something, the edge is diluted and becomes a component of the game, the edge is something proprietary or developped or inherent to someone's persona.

That's not an edge. That's a component rule of the game that you choose to exploit. Your black box is your edge.

Really. That's not what I heard from people accross the street.

Ever been to the SAC HQ? I heard it is pretty nice.

How do you disagree about brain power? You think the really smart and talented traders trade prop all their lives? What's the point? They either go work for a major hedge fund or start their own. In the event that they want to stay independent, they probably trade their own account and outsource...

Trade Yah, you seem to idolize Steve Cohen. Is it just because he is a very good trader or do you actually know him? You seem to like calling him "Stevie".
