And why is that?

Aussie and Forex experts: Is backwardization the norm for AUD/US. Just looking at the March futures ... .

Why does the US/CNR pair have the dollar first but most other top quoted dollar pairs are reverse, EUR/US, GBP/US, etc.?

Sounds logical, but too much so, it's the prevailing wisdom, etc. Might take a short-term flier. Thanks.

Is this possible? What about CTA paperwork. Will be in Sydney for awhile. Can I do this all online?

No options? Either just buy a put(s) to catch a downside move or at least buy a call(s) to protect your short position?

Ok mate, we'll watch to see how it plays out.

Thinks bogus US notes are a problem in Sydney, though?

Ok, I'll go long Swiss/US currency futures as a hedge. I'm hesitant to long AUS as a hedge, as it's had such a run up over the years.

Excellent. Thanks for the tip; I'll check it out; know someone there.

Tell me about it! I spent last summer in London and felt like the dollar was a third world currency. Maybe it's pegged to the Zimbabwe dollar nowadays or something. Ah, the price of low interest rates at home.

Hmmm. Thanks for the observations. And let me assure you that I shall arrive with the high degree of humility and respect that I bring to all foreign countries I visit. It's unfortunate that the ugly American syndrome is still alive. I'll endeavor to prove that it is changing.

Just wondering. I'll probably wind up trading my own accounts, but are there any trading outfits, hedge funds, etc. in the land down under -- does anyone really call it that? -- for folks there 1-3 years from the US?

Guys, I'm likely moving to Sydney in a month or two, for one to three years, and I'm starting to bone up on the currency down there in case I want to hedge my US assets converting into AU$. (I speculate in currency futures a little bit, usually with options.) Question: aRe there any good sites...

Guts, I'm sure I will check out Perth at some point, but it looks like I am moving to Syndey and I wonder why Perth and Melbourne get the nod over Sydney for best places to live in AUS. I'm coming from South Florida, so the water, beach, warm thing I take for granted. After five years, I could...

LOL. Ok, Now I get it. You would create the other side of the trade -- at your price, not mine. Well, shit, I would do that, too! Your basically doing (answering) a RFQ, right? I'll keep you in mind if I wanna get hosed -- just joking.

I hear you and play things squeaky clean; I'm just not seeing a whole lot in it for Rosy.

Was this called Painting the Tape? Also, maybe it's late and I 'm brain dead, but if, say, there is only an OTM put option, let's say 1.50 and no bid. And I were to IM Rosy and say I want to sell her a put at 1.40, and she agrees. What does she gain? She'll be long a put and presumably hedging...

What"s the rationale for the illegality?

I'm curious. Why would you want to effectively make a market (without the apparent benefits of being a market-maker)?
