by dried i mean that there are no qoutes. Yes, all the carry currencies responded to the co-ordinated interest rate hikes, i guess the central banks showed they are serious about trying to avoid a recession and manage the crisis. The real question is that, at the end of the day, is it enough?

How is oanda liquidity on usd/czk, huf, skk and pln? My brokers liquidity has completely dried up on these pairs.

They have most probably trippled the spreads. This high volatility is really hit the carry trades hard!

I actually just can't stop thinking about what kind of consolidation will hit the fx market in 2009? I just hope that there will be still trends to catch next year as the aftermath of this type of movement is a lot of consolidation as everyone tries and pick themselves up. This is a nice little...

i am holding short from 0.7900 since last week. I can honestly say i never expected this especially after the big august move. This is just amazing, i feel like getting a bowl of popcorn with this kind of unrealistic movement.

the aud, nzd, peso, rand, getting hammered!!

I have never seen such movement in my life. I really feel for the carry traders. I hate to say this but i have never had profitable trades like the ones i have on aud, nzd in my whole trading career. This movement is just astonishing. The only fear is that we see a shit load of...

I added to my short at 0.7900 and interest rates were nowhere in my analyses. Firstly take a look at how much the AUD has dropped but then again take a look how much the dollar has gained over the last couple months against all currencies. The weighting of the interest decision was of little...

Anyone have experience with a broker that has good liquidity on these pairs? Liquidity seems to dry up very quickly on these pairs by my broker. Regards

There are like a 100 papers saying trend following don't work and 100 saying it does. Anyone who goes in with a verdict already when reading these papers will come out with nothing new but just a confirmation of their bias, but an objective analyses of both studies along with your own personal...

lol, yes........it is actually not a good way for traders to understand it, because when you see "stop market" all you can think about is i don't want to put a stop loss.

Problem solved, i actually got really excellent service from the tech guy online. Really impressive, he spent like an hour with me going over everything. It is a really cool setup. They don't charge for anything except the normal spread, commisions.

The weird think i cant place an advanced order to add to my position, using a limit it either gives you the limit price or better which makes it execute before reaching the limit price. Thefore if u buy at 700 and want to simultaneously put another order to buy when price reaches 750, cannot get...

Check out this section in WM 10Q. If I understand this "Price Protection Feature" WM signed with TPG. If someone buy WM for $0 dollar, TPG will get full 7.2B back from WM first. It is going to be hard for anyone to buy WM. [/B] Well, TPG has their ass protected, they may also be the...

My gf has money there, told here to take it out even though it is under 100k, just to avoid any complications. I hope they can make a deal, but after the market digests Lehman, i think they are really going to zero in on WM and AIG.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Grow up!

One of the issues with pure fundamental analyses, is that you have to hold tight during the noise phase since your timing will always be a challenge as the market takes time to adjust its pricing. Dwight gave a good example with the platinum trade in the early nineties while still at tiger...
