You earning intrest on long yen with these kind of volatility levels........whatever you doing you should let the carry traders know, then the yen will rise, volatility will decrease and you will make more money.

What is some of the problems you had with them?

I think u should realise that at the current volatility levels, 15 point spread is very competitive on average u usually get a 3pip spread for a volatility level of about 30 points intraday

pound, euro

currency traders should love this, as long as there is liquidity, we can make money!!

Good points, but certainly do not point to defaulting on debt. Have you actually looked at all SA debt levels, you will also be surprised o know that SA runs a budget surplus which is a controversial topic as many belive that they should be running a budget deficit because of the poverty levels...

Yes liquidity is tough, there also seems to be a lot of slippage around but the high volatility makes up for it though as well as the spread increases. The exotics seem to be giving the best value for money in these trades, but then again overall for the last 5yrs they have been higher alpha...

So, i assume that my stop loss has covered me, i wake up to take a pee but say let me just check whats up for a sec and then i see sek has blow past my stop loss which was a market order. I try and exit manually but can't. I called the broker and there is no liquidity, he finally got me out at...

Well, its just to show how ignorant the financial world is. South Africa is actually one of the strongest countries handling this credit crisis. They didint need to stop short selling, assist any banks or hold any emergency meetings. The I,F has actually applauded South Africa for its sound...

Your request is too broad, you need to be more specific as to what you actually looking for, analyses, recommendations, signals, assistance in ddeveloping a model or just casual chat. If u looking for some one to tell you which way eur/usd is going to go......nodody knows especially not here...

am i reading correct- cmc has 30 pip spread and oanda has 100+ spread on usd/pln? 30pips is really a bargain!

Where are u trading through now? Is there commisions and swap rates competitive?

They sent out a notice when u login into the platform saying that erroneous fills will be sorted out. I do not know if this is your problem. As far as connectivity goes, i have not had an issue and i have been carrying 12 positions since yesterday and traded in and out today, 15 to 16th. I...

lol......if u find such an indicator, u will surely be challenging D.E. Shaw for his crown. Anyway, what is the w/l ratio? what % of your profitable and loss trades does transaction cost account for? What underlying statistical anomaly or characteristic are you trying to exploit? Then maybe i...

Can't you go and drown yourself somewhere, ihate idiot loosers like this, i bet your trading results mirrors the quality of this post, but then again you have a day job, luckily!

I am hoping that the g7 meeting this weekend does not screw up my long dollar trades, but i can't see anything that they can agree on of significance over a weekend. They would certainly need more time for deliberation. I hope they don't act irrational as the fx market will definately gap in a...

Good luck with that, i cant get a qoute on huf, czk, skk and pln, but i am short nok and sek but spreads are bouncing all over the place.

So is the life of a trader, its like being a boxer, can't expect to box and not let a couple of hits slip through. If you end of this year with a 10-15% drawdown, i would say good job, considering the market. My year only turned positve in july, it was six months of being underwater when...
