disposal of delta hedge relating to the intervention 2 weeks back. Anything other explanations even from respected financial journos are caught up in the story-book of why price moves in fx.

I’m not the right audience for this but I’m sure one of the 1200 readers so far will get off their arse to thank you and write a review via Anthropic for pdfs >>> Here is a summary of the key points from the book: - The "trading zone" is a mental state where traders are calm, focused, and...

We can all come up with a litany of retail sins but you're gone off track. Quick recap then. - do brokers screw you with pricing and is it theft in retail fx? - yes and yes - here's an example using interbank pricing, so do your due diligence properly. - ET - stop yer moaning, it's fine! I...

Erm not really, I don’t use them, just pointing out the hideous shading between Reuters interbank time and sales tick data vs metascrotes. Don’t think it needs some dramatic exposition.

Perspective because… 1) you are not your trades 2) your expectations will be a multiple of the industry average without fail and you’ve ignored this fact because it’s inconvenient to your wish to rinse the markets. In FX you’re supposed to fail it’s the default position. Only 1 in 250 make it...

The roll happens at 10pm precisely ... and yet there was a FULL HOUR of off-market pricing, 20 pips away from institutional pricing. How on earth do you think that's OK? Clearly they use it as a cover for cashing out and running their customers. Noone bar noone got any fills at the lower...

It might be a decentralised market, but rinsing of retail is a daily centralised affair. every bloody day. particularly at the 10pm (London) shakedown. i don't know anyone sell-side in bucket-shops any more, so maybe one can chime in if it's you... but as far as I can see, the Metaquotes...

software calculators and excel - too slow. Desktop calculator large display 12 digits and a square root key. A reciprocal key would be ideal but never found one outside of scientific calcs. My old Casio MH-12WE kicked the bucket and my new one has clacky keys that are profoundly annoying to my...

Sprout it's not that Qual is so great, I've never done DD on him either so he could be another Madoff in the making, but I suspect not - everything he does is gears around actual trading. It's more that ICT is an epic blagger. He's less 'your mentor's mentor' and more your wanker's wanker...

cmmon man of all the retails , ICT? The guy who claims to have been kidnapped by the fx mob and bundled into a van for revealing secrets? Guys an absolute clown, with zero substantiated track record other than what he reckons. He’s been called on all this and more plus other previous pretences...

This news is as old as the hills. Unless you were in Shell's corporate treasury mindlessly handing over your orders to the FX desks, it's as Maxinger says a source of opportunity not problems. If you want to know who's doing it, it's surprisingly simple - you just need to get your hands on a...

Breaking any natural law causes failure in anything you choose— emotions ruling over reason is the most obvious but there are others

hells bells. who knows. Think part of the problem will be this " MyForexFunds does not directly solicit customers from Canada. People who register for our programs do so at their own volition. " . If they were in breach of OFSI regs that's probably better. They freeze the assets and presumably...

now that's a reply - thanks. makes sense
