    Looking for a new forex trading broker with C++ API for execution and market data fee

    http://www.fxcm.com/api-landing.jsp I don't think there is a minimum except for that of account minimum. The API does work. You don't need any special account requirements. Just download the API, develop and trade. You can evaluate on a demo account as much as you want. Support is not...

    Why Capitalism Is Failing

    Agreed. American capitalism worked great for over 500 years, ever since Columbus sailed three ships to the new world as America's first "adventure" capitalist. What followed was the formation of a nation that produced the greatest economic and technological expansion in the world's history...

    The Propaganda Machine is in Full EFFECT!!!!

    Dude, don't you understand? Obama will not get re-elected if the market drops and we're in a bear market heading into summer and the election season. If that's the case how is GE (owner of NBC/CNBC) going to get those lucrative green energy contracts and tax exemptions that keep them from...

    SHORT re-entry for GREAT DEPRESSION 2

    The 1240-1250 level on the ES seems to be a popular turning point. Likewise I am seeing what appears to be accumulation in the USDX as it approaches 76.0. However it could be sellers chewing thru support. Awaiting a key reversal or something as confirmation. Perhaps the Euro meetings will...

    Yield for 10-Year Note

    First, Rodney King thanks for the link that helps since I am also interested in yields for Bunds as well. Second, I am not sure about my method. What's the difference between "current yield" and just "yield"? And if I don't need face value what do I use to compute the yield of the 10 year...

    Yield for 10-Year Note

    If I have the price at which the 10-year treasury note is trading, can I calculate the current yield? I think what I'm interested in is referred to as the running or current yield which is easy to calculate if I have the coupon rate and face value. current yield = (face value * coupon rate)...

    Capitalism needs to focus on the greater good

    Speaking about Ford, think about Henry Ford who doubled his employees salaries. He did this because he wanted to ensure he retained the skilled workers in his factories once they were trained and also wanted to ensure they could each afford the Model-T's they were building at the price Ford was...

    Europe rejects U.S., IMF recommendations on debt crisis, stirring doubts about plan

    Probably because U.S. banks are deeply exposed to the european banks, more so than anybody knows or letting on. You can hear the desparation in Geitners voice every time he urges the Europeans to solve the crisis. The U.S. taxpayer is going to end up bailing out the banks all over again on...

    1 quick question on yesterday's job report

    Yes the 45,000 striking Verizon workers were added to the Sept payrolls but they were subtracted from the Aug payrolls when they went on strike. Since August payrolls were revised up and if you were to discount the Verizon jobs, it would show that more jobs were created in Aug. than in Sept. -...

    *OFFICIAL* BLACK MONDAY Thread

    Yep, right now the s&p fut is chewing thru the support established 9/23-9/26. It's going to break and we are heading to 1000. There may have been hope for some support here if all we had to worry about was Europe and Greece, but the news out of China is the final straw.

    If markets trend only 30% of the time intraday...

    This helped me. I started by coming up with some statistics on how much a particular instrument moves per 1 day, 2 days, 5, days, etc. During trends these statistics can be used to... 1.) exit and take profits 2.) re-enter during the retracements. Like wise these statistics can be...
