Thanks. Pinging currenex just now the time was 69ms from the UK. Pinging the MBT address was 144ms. I will check this over the next week to se if it is just a bad day.

Can I have the address I can ping to see the speed please.

Now look at £ weakeness overnight - weakened against the $ yen and euro - and we had a very weak BRC survey overnight. You cant ignore fundamentals - especially with £,

£ led the dollar move - it broke first on the cable. Eur /£ has fallen whilst the dollar has weakened and that is quite rare and look at the steling crosses especially the yen. And UK data hasn't been that weak - UK house prices up 1.4% on the month is a key indicator - that underpins...

If anyone thinks that 'retail' traders don't trade the news then, in my view, they are misguided. Study how the market reacts to figures now compared to say 5 years ago.

May I ask who you use then?

I disagree. We get both "early". Usually the Michigan seems to be released on all the newswires at the same time but paying for the Chicago is definetly worth it. I tend to do half of my amount 2 minutes before the release of the Chicago on the news wires and the other half 10 seconds before.

Forget to reply, apologies. It is an exponential E 40 mb SDSL line.

I trade when it is volatile . My view, rightly or wrongly, is when it is quiet the big players control/see the flows and so I am at a disadvantage. When it is volatile it is every man for themselves and it is more about market action than one order/flow. When I had an account with EFX I would...

Please let me know who you were using to trade via Currenex. What were the problems? Why is EFX better?

I have, thanks! But my point was say the euro was showing 20 17 and you tried buying at 17 you would not get the fill at that price. Using a limit order you could say pay 25 and try and get filled. I am not saying you should get the fill ( I believe all users should display ethics in line...

I assume you are implying thast a backwardation is free money. It isnt. They fill you at a price that isn't shown.

I had an account with EFX and closed it within a week.

Apologies for the delay. Am at home today where I have Plusnet the ping time to currenex is 80ms. We have changed the ISP at the office but can't remember who it is but the currenex ping time is around 70ms. If I remember correctly my ping time to a UK based site, say the BBC, is about 6ms at...

Go to the Radianz web site - it says who their partners are. I am looking at getting it in - initially for Reuters but also some dealing lines. However those ping times seem very slow. Using my internet line - which I admit is fast - I ping the states and back from the UK in an average of...

The Philly Fed figures were on their web site early! I have enjoyed the past 2 months - suits my style I guess. For the past few days there has been a large central bank (ish) on the bid at 80 in ther euro but looks like they have gone overnight.

I would not be surprised if they are different people and the woman is as she describes herself. However she is a self confessed failed newbie so I don't really think I value her judgement of a trader too much. However that does not get away from the fact that MP has made some appaling...

Google Terry Smith. He used to be an analyst at UBS and wrote a book about this very thing - ie what to look for in a balance sheet that should give warning signs. As a number of the banks clients were guitly of the described practices he was sacked. He now owns/runs Collins Stewart and is...

I think that response on projected returns is unfair. He would have taken a holiday on day 214.

Answer one question that so far you have consisentently refused to answer. You keep saying you manage other peoples money. Are you regulated and authorised to carry out that activity? If so where and by whom?
