Nothing good on the tv Corvus. Wallace.

No Cvds16, the errors have been yours when you obviously did not properly read and understand the original thread. We'll say nothing of you being a European nor having read 'The Vandal Kings'. Wallace.

In the US of A, contemporary forex trading DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL the 1970s. Get a grip. Wallace.

Seemingly important, contemporary forex trading began in the US of A in the 1970s. Further, on page 7 of 'The Vandal Kings' is the example of the 'first' option/forward 'invented' by the Greek Thales of Meletus, predating Aristotle. Need we also consider cattle, cowrie shell and Yap stones...

Hello Cvds16, yes, I agree with you, consistency is what counts. I have to ask, what is the roundturn commission/s charged by the futures broker, and is that cost recovered in the trade ? Wallace.

Sorry Cvds16, I disagree. What's the spread got to do with anything unless that's what you are trying to trade. What's the purpose of sitting on the bid or ask, surely one's trading with an entry/exit price that's hit or not. The forex spread isn't 'given' to brokers, tho does make scalping...

Hello All, what are your opinions about trading forex currency pairs rather than futures ? On the EUR/USD, trades similar to S/P; a lot/contract has a margin requirement of $1000 – daytrade/overnight; the pip/tick value is $10; daily trading range 50-100+ pips; guaranteed fills of stops and...

Hello All, please view attached chart. Wallace.
