I had neither a 3 day weekend nor was I at home last evening. All I did was respond in a public fashion to some personally offending PMs & posts from this strange guy, waggie, but as he totally fails to come up with something substantial regarding the trading mishaps of thursday, I still can...

IB does not offer FX. However, you can trade GLOBEX currency futures, which is a very fair and rather liquid market for the majors, EUR, CHF, GBP and JPY. crosses are illiquid and not favourable for trading. commission $4.8 per rt. you trade into an open limit book (GLOBEX) and are not...

waggie, before I leave you alone with all this "ES" and "YM": - an ES is a S&P MINI Future, Mult. 50 - an YM is a Dow Jones MINI Future, Mult. 5 the YM is not very liquid, compared to ES or NQ (explain later...), so if you hit the book with 100 market, well, it can be really a pain...

Oh my God ! You understand nothing. We talked about 100 YM. 100 ES ... ROFLMAO ...

waggie, not a single word addressing the questions I asked you. why not ?

Bruce, I see. If you are interested in this kind of stuff, really, try to get some information how the market is continously manipulated. The TTE is really cool stuff. Try getting info on it, it's too complex, will not desc. it here. Pit locals use several kinds tricks to generate...

I wrote theoretically. In practice, you will use some program for size trading. BTW: r u sure it is 250 ?

Bruce, I really don't want to raise the devil. I only don't want this type of mkt every holiday, since it would be untradeable, as a long stop order could kill your whole weeks performance. However, it will probably not be possible that this happens again, because the arbs will now...

What exactly do you mean ? Regards

Yep. Even more odd is that these guys have 5 pips on the EUR. I doubt one can daytrade successfully against this spread. I would like to keep my hands off all this. I cannot see any advantage of online FX vs. currency futures, maybe except that the cash requirements are even lower.

Hello Banker, I think the chart shows no transactions at all, only the bid - ask quotes of this MM, they should not publish any transactions at all; if any; only this MM's transactions. Regards, Sascha

waggie: before I forget, another proof how little your idea of (Mini) S&P trading is: I was talking about 5000 - 15000 ES at maximum. You could theoretically sell 5000 ES in a single market order, the market would go down "only" 10 levels, which equals 2.5 index points. I assume 500...

I do not trade against an invisible hand. However, if you think that futures markets are free of manipulation, have an experienced trader explain you what e.g. the TTE is.

waggie: as you are so clever, pls come up with a good reason for the following facts: - why does someone want to sell 100 YM at the mkt ? it would have gone through at least 4 price levels - why does the order go to a clerk with no size limit ? I dunno much about other firms, but the...

also, what I tell everyone who wants to get into FX, online FX trading is IMO suit really suitable for DAYTRADING. spreads are too high, will likely kill you. 2 pips can you take, 4 pips are too much to be consistently profitable.

www.ac-markets.com is regulated by swiss fin authorities. don't know if this helps indeed, anyway, their platform is good.

also, please consider that the YM order was entered by a futures commission merch. It was probably only a single guy there who risked only his job and no own capital at all. The ES side was taken by another firm not obviously linked to that merch.

errr... calculating intraday margins you will need 2x $15M for the trade. Any hedge fund should be able to put this up. Nobody calculates the nominal futures value for intraday trading... If I did, maybe I could impress some girls with the value I bot + sold last week; but that's all

...no matter. put them in handcuffs !
