what do u mean?

I notice that FX club is offering 0 spread, is anyone using this. I notice that they meet the NFA cap requirements but they seem fairly new anyone with experience on their platform? Also scalpers must love this but does it look like they give scalpers a tough time.

nobody has anything to say regarding this? If so, why?

Anyone here doing this on the High frequency level? If so how many currency pairs are u trading to reduce vol and overall how are u finding it. Any pitfalls experienced?

This ia a funny thread because everyone knows the answers to the questions they posting and everyone knows the counter side to their agumentive statements but it seems like everyone is in the mood to play devil's advocate. Anyway........... The US is made up of all race groups from...

Dont be silly, your trade deserves to be reversed as will those people who have lossed Oanda will reverse those. If Oanda didnt reverse the losers then that would be unethical. Your stance that u deserve the profit is unethical as you knew that there was something very very wrong with that...

Get real, as an fx trader you know that price you got was not correct, if u thought it was correct why would u go in the opposite direction to that move at such high volatility. A seasoned trader who believed that qoute to be true would never have went in the opposite direction because clear a...

I only want to buy options, i don't want to get you making money of premiums. I prefer catching the trend and taking all those little losses along the way.

Yes, that makes sense. Can i get historic forward prices and then create a backtest off of that?

Another question i would like to ask, is if i only buy atm vanilla options, how much off would i be if i used ATR to determine the cost i would have been charged for an option, holding the time variable constant. I understand that atr has no relation to implied volatility, but would it give...
