This oneupmanship is greek to me.

Illiquid, see this recent post under the "Trading" forum of ET, which gives one reason for choosing a fx retailer over CME/Globex: I lost my initial grubstake my grandmother left me. so I decided to deal drugs and I got busted, I am posting this from jail (min security) where I can trade my...

Too bad the sheep shearers couldn’t get Social Security privatized. The headwind from Iraq beat them, with Abramoff punctuating the loss. A helluva pump-and-dump party spoiled, I say.

Prescient.

Leg A, with today's price action, finally opening some profit daylight over cruddy, poorly-timed, and wrongly-sequenced Leg B, which was stopped out intraday same session started (Tuesday).

I’m now informed that RefcoFX manages and cabins this problem with a credit facility into which the tape of all customer trades is funneled. The facility is four-sided, right-angled at each corner, sturdily made, and rests in the center of the RefcoFX dealing floor. On it is a label...

You're giving casinos a black-eye comparing them to fx retailers. The casinos I've been in have, to my knowledge, offered legit games with the house edge in plain view.

Today's whipsaw low, ahead of jobs data, picked off this long. You snooze, you lose. (By snooze, I mean not trailing a stop or simply selling while the trade was well above water this week.)

CME Nikkei 225 backed up today, despite expectation of hot USA jobs number tomorrow (which, conventionally, should be positive for Nikkei exporter component). The ledge maybe? YEN strength would amplify.
