    Fail this question you should give up trading

    I can't believe noone has answered this one yet .. "assumuing" the rope burns consistently, then you light one rop at one end and at the same time light the other rop at both ends. When the second rope finishes burning you have 30 mins left on the first rope ... so just light the other end...

    Is IB Dealpro actual ECN?

    you'll never have prblem getting fileld on market orders.... the slippage on that during periods of high vol I can't say for sure. I've had limit orders with prices at least 6 pips away from current mkt price not get filled but that happens rarely

    Is IB Dealpro actual ECN?

    I believe this is not totally accurate. Orders routed to the liquidity providers on idealpro need not be filled as they are not required to honour their quotes unlike a true ecn

    need opinions on FXDD...

    you obviously don't monitor the prices 24/7 wrt other brokers or the ecns, when the market is quiet sure the prices are fine. When the market is volatile the prices go all over the place but seeing as this is another first-poster lavishing praises on a retail fx broker why would I have expected...

    Oanda is now the Largest Forex Broker

    i think a lot of ppl just prefer to have a platform that allows them to trade and monitor positions rather than general exposure. Admitedly you can get add-ons for tws but the whole system of an api via sockets is laughable (although I still use it, call me cheap but I don't want to pay the...

    bloomberg hack for news

    well it would be nice if certain ppl dind't have to resort to racist remarks ... but obviously there are those that need to vent their frustration from losing trades one others. And before mr high and mighty 1000 (is that your bank balance?) says I made a comment about russians, if wasn't meant...

    Time To Get Down To It

    to be frank ... you can probably take a subset of price data from eurusd and usdchf which will show ~99% correlation. ppl quoting correlation without stating the time period and start/end time of samples is meaningless

    bloomberg hack for news

    My god I think this'll be the last post I'll make on this thread. 1. Believe me bloomerg is worreid about every single user large or small. Whether or not you work in an institution is irrelevant and if you start downloading large amounts of data via the api WILL get a call from bloomberg...

    IF you don't think the poor home sales data which more or less cancelled out the prev days sales data caused the move, then good luck to your trading. I honestly mean that ...

    bloomberg hack for news

    You sound very confident but I'm afraid i must disagree. Whilst this may often be the case with large unexplained moves, can you honestly tell me that if the fed decides to hike rates at 50bps when the market expects 25 that the news follows the trades? I think not.
