I'm a computer science major and do a lot of stuff. I also do DV-editing at home with a nice 3-ccd camera. I have so many computer-related interests that it takes a lot of time and space - and I keep most of all of the data I've ever produced. I'm actually running out of space again soon. :D

This is something related to how the Internet works with using something called IP addresses which the networking hardware of your machine can use to contact other machines and hardware on the Internet. Something like www.elitetrader.com is translated into a numerical address which is then used...

[22:23 EUR/USD: Cautiously Trending Higher] Sydney, September 29: The EUR/USD is being supported by the higher oil price and the EUR/JPY demand that the oil shock is creating. Lower long-term U.S. rates, weaker than expected U.S. data, the upcoming G7 meeting and news yesterday from a China...

Yes, I'm doing something similar to when I traded the aug. NFP the night before. (crossing my fingers.:D ) Well, the recent range frustration, false breakouts, OECD growth EU upgrade+downgrade of US and price levels indicates a biased reaction tomorrow - esp. in light of oil prices...

It seems the quake spooked investors a bit and we're in for some slow range trading above the pivotal 1.2315 (on the spot). With asian profittaking in EURJPY and capping EURUSD we might not get anywhere for some while. While I wasn't not quick enough to get out on my long at the spike, I got...

Refco Fx is also squeezing or having some problems. Quoting 1.2336 when FXCM and EuroFx was around 1.2310-ish. They did the same just now, and earlier too. Perhaps they have some problems - letting them have the benefit of the doubt . :p

Ooops, "spike me" :) Earthworms .. quake.

I guess we're on opposite sides then, since I'm long around 1.23 (various entries). :) I will try and max out some gains today if I can, purely "technical". Target is above 1.2340-ish. edit: some lingering around 1.2315 to consolidate entries for those needing "fresh starts" - and we're on...

Know your enemies and the terrain ... :p [16:31 FX OPTIONS: BIS Reports Shows Slide In Q2 Volumes] New York, September 28: The BIS report on derivatives shows a rise of 43% for H1 of 2004 in the amount of derivative contracts to $304 trillion, and up 12% from Q1. Turnover in currency trading...

FXCM was at around 1.2330 while futures and Refco and others were above 1.2340. I think we could see some more caution by traders with signs of choppy activity - this could prevent the tiredness we see in the afternoon session. On the other hand, judging by the previous last days investors...

I can group whatever way I want with regards to timeframes or ticks - as well aggregated values with my software - independently of displayed chart. I use tick-charts for EuroFX and 1-min, 5-min or tick for various spot sources. Whoops - quite a bit of low-lingering on FXCM after the...

chinook, intersting stuff. Maybe I'll try and make a simulation of it in Java (scripted via www.BeanShell.org 's interactive shell) to see if it can be applied to my style for those "early entries" I have. :) So far a better day than yesterday, with nice action just before those retail-sales...

Well, things seem to have been taken to the lower range of today with the RTH ending and a little more action than the last few hours. Ending my session with +5 pips on 5 trades. Just as lackluster as my head feels now - too much to drink yesterday, I guess. At least all that chili-pepper sauce...

I guess a lot of traders are geeting chopped today as well; I got a small taste of it around the 1.23 area. Running to and forth the screen doing other things - not really optimal for trading. 2 pip loss so far on 3 trades, but it's hard to get a good feel for whichever "trend" is present...

I also sort of jumped the trigger on firday, and maybe other days this week with some choppy conditions in the markets. However, I think the main reason behind my success in EuroFX over my ES trading earlier, is that I savour only my best setups for this trading - although I have become more...

Not trying to sound condescending, but "been there, done that." I found that it didn't help me too much when I had a period of difficulties early on with my ES trading. Later on, I found that I had to try and avoid losing days by at least giving it a fighting chance - because I saw I had a...

www.ifrmarkets.com is really good. Otherwise www.fxstreet.com , www.dailyfx.com and www.refconews.com are ok. There are a lot of other sites - these were the ones I remembered. I also use www.nasdaq.com/econoday/index.html . EuroFX seem to have dabbed off towards the end - locked in a tight...

Welcome onboard, just popped back to watch a little - and it's difficult to say where this slide could stop given the last few days very choppy and frustrating trading. dewey, are you position trading, swing or scalping ? [15:21 EUR/JPY: CTAs, Models Throw In Towel, Prices Slide Anew] New...

Good news for the market! Maybe they can see themselves lowering fees as well ? :p Now we're going down - sliding a slippery friday trading. edit: [14:41 EUR/USD: More Stops Below 1.2270, 1.2250] Boston, September 24: Dealers note more stops below the 1.2270 level but the bulk are seen...
