Thanks that is the key.

That is a very good idea. I taught a course at work to the new guys on the spot and forward market. Thanks that is something to think about. I got My CFA and I am working on my CMT so that may give me even more crediability.

Right on cable , the other one is funds. This was a test for nana to see if he had any mkt experience.

Nana there is a difference in sitting in a room with other traders, having reuters, having ebs, having paid research, playing with someone elses money. I make 7 figures plus for these guys with little flow, most of the money comes from specing. I am asking if anyone has made the...

I trade fx for an FI, I make 6 figure plus, but I am so fedup of the crap and daily grind. I have been doing this for 20 years. I am seriously thinking of quiting and trading my own capital. I am looking for some advice on how successful people have been and what to expect. I have 2...

in a nut shell here how it works The system most times is on auto. Which means their net exposures at any given time are automatically cover with one of their banks at the best price. Each one of their banks quotes them about a 2 point spread but not the same 2 points one may be at 1/3...

far from angry, if oanda wants to let people trade without having the ability for themselves (oanda) to cover their positions, good for them. The market does not open till 3pm on sun. I think its just plain stupid, just like honouring stoploss levels. I have been trading fx for 20 year and...

stupid oanda lets u trade all weekent with a 10 point spread. Since they were asleep at the wheel over the weekend and did not realize what was going to happen. Some very smart people shorted the euro.

i just covered the 700k at 19. I thing the euro will be a train wreck this week. But i am happy with my 75 points.

these are the headlines across europe this weekend Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean- Claude Juncker called the damage profound. In the weeks ahead, EU diplomats and others "will tell you that Europe is not in crisis,' he said early Saturday. "It is in a deep crisis.' We will see where the...

Anyone ever experience the problem of not being able to change the time frame. I change the time frame to 10m and it will not reload. Any ideas?

There are people at the banks who arb between the spot/fwd market and the futures. My friend does that. He also manages the $/cad spot book. I know someone else whoes full time job is to arb between Stocks traded on both the Toronto stock exchange and NYSE. They get misaligned as the...

Thanks for pointing me towards ifrmkts. I have a couple other ones i subscibe to. I like this one better.

Sorry the reason I was asking those 2 questions: 1. I pay over $10 a round trip on any currency futures contracts and I know you pay less. 2. After 20 years in the fx mkt and about 15 trading for someone else I am seriously considering quiting and trading for myself. I am just trying...

how many contracts do you trade at a time and if u do not mind telling me who do u do the futures trade with. thks

I do not know what impact this is having on the mkt today and tommorrow. Probably less liquidity in the NY time zone. I am staying pretty flat until Monday. On a side note there is got to be a little pain out there for those on the wrong side of cable (gbp/usd) the last 2 days. I hate...

The deals come in at mkt, I can get out if I do not like the position at breakeven or I hold the position to make money. 99 times out of 100 I hold. I also trade for the companies account on the side. I do not trade for my own account.

I manage an fx book for a large non bank financial inst. My views go anywhere from seconds to days. Its all about making money from the flows and doing what it takes. I have been doing this since 1990.

these mkt updates you post r from where?
