2cents I don't understand, are you saying that EBS offers FX trading to retail ?

I do not understand the question. When I trade through EBS, my EBS terminal is connected to a printer and the name of my counterparty (for instance "Nomura Intl") is shown ONLY after the trade is done obviously, as well as the caracteristics of the trade. I don't know what you mean by "Prime...

There is some confusion. The reason why we link EBS to TradeStation is for the graphic capabilities of TradeStation, not to trade THROUGH TradeStation. We do not have a brokerage account with TradeStation, since we already have EBS ! This wouldn't make sense at all. We use the older TradeStation...

TGM, why would you want to link EBS and BB ? EBS is a broker and if you want to link with a graphic software you will find better than Bloomberg for free ! (unfortunately Bloomberg doesn't have very good graphic interface). As far as I'm concerned I'm linking EBS with TradeStation and the...

It seems to me that you are reducing Bloomberg to a datafeed+news provider. I'm working in a bank in the interest rate derivatives business and unless you tell me otherwise, Reuters has VERY LIMITED product PRICING possibilities, while Bloomberg will allow you to price almost anything, from a...

Target Proffit may be

Remiraz is entirely right. Another reason why brokers CAN'T guarantee stops is because their liquidity providers DON'T guarantee stops. In 10 years of money market at 3 investment banks I have NEVER heard of any bank guaranteeing stop loss in FX, FX Fwd, X-FX swap and other derivatives of...

Very interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing this article. What it seems to say is that low volatility brings more low volatility, is my reading correct ?

You have no other choice but to get an option pricer to calculate an estimate of how much you call will be worth if XYZ stock price is 30$ in Aug, and making certain volatility assumption. Remember that options have Theta, and in your case, plenty of it since yours hasn't such a short...

I'm living in Hong-Kong, most local banks now offer to open CNY-denominated saving accounts. Unfortunately I believe the max amount you can deposit is 10,000 CNY. Unless this changed recently. Contact your local HSBC branch, may be they're offering CNY saving account in the US too, I guess...

I agree. Or a simple exp moving average cross over.

50cent I'd be curious to have your report after you talk to IB. Just to make sure everything is alright with these chaps. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions guys, I'm definitely going to investigate your ideas. I have thought of the projector, but my appartment is very bright and the image may look too dim during daytime I'm afraid. I could be wrong though, I am not a video expert...

Alright, thanks for that guys, appreciated. I will go with the cable then ! Cheers,

Hello, My graphic card is an nVidia FX5900. I connect 2 screens to it: one standard tube screen, and one LCD. I would like to be able to leave my computer on my desk, but move one of the screens (the LCD) in the living room for instance. I would like to avoid having a long cable running...

Me too. Until Wallace brought me the light. So what it also means is that you may want to consider getting rid of Metatrader... since IB already provides you, for free, with FX quotes. Although in this case you will have to leave you computer switched on all the time since IB doesn't give you...

Exactly, that's what HyperServer Lite is for. And free, yes. You seem to be surprised. Did you experience any problem when trying this combination ?

I am using TS2000i + IB + HyperServer and the combination works very very well. This setup is very stable (on my computer), not a single crash in 18 months I've been using it. And I don't seem to only have a "snapshot" of the trades, I get them all (I trade HSI exclusively). The daily volume...

don't worry, someone in that thread is making an ass of himself and we all know who that is lol

Sidinuk, I have a question to ask you. Your system has a "no trade on Thursday" filter. This is based on the fact that the expected proffit per trade on Thursdays between January 2004 and June 2004 was negative. Fair enough. If I remember correctly you started to forward test this system...
