Sorry, i have no clue what you are talking about here. Let me try to explain again what i'm doing: the first collumn i use is to get my highest point reached ever, so you get 5K, 6..5K, 7K for example, the next figure can never be lower then the previous one, only the same (this is probably...

hmm, a bit confused by your explanation, because this was exactly what I entended to calculate with these collumns. You cant use running valley however, because the peak might go up, you would be using an old value for valley. So thats why i'm using this¨% calculation.

this is not so difficult, get a collumn witch keeps track of your peek value. In the next collumn calculate % difference between present value and peak value. In the third collumn use min to get the end result.

How many traders want to know where the price is going to be in 3 months ? For me its the next ten minutes that count.

where do you think the money traders make, comes from ?

forget it, if there was any in Belgium i would know, i dont ... met andere woorden, vergeet het maar ...

If you want to trade currencies you should use the futures too, instead of those brokers who rip you in the spread with their zero commissions.

from what you are writing its obvious you havent' got a clue what you're getting into. First read and learn lots and lots more, then think about starting to trade. Its too late here to get into it, maybe i'll try tomorrow to add some more info.

my first thought would be a hidden order (iceberg).

this is a joke not ?

The quote from Kovner is from a long time ago, the spreads in euro/usd have been going down since the last year, they used to be much bigger. Problem also is these guys really want to move SIZE meaning more like a 1000 futures in one go. For any normal retail trader futures however are the...

John, reread the thread you will find out.

What happens if you are only partially filled ? Do the bracket orders get triggered, or do they get triggered partially or ...

i couldnt agree more, apparently lots of people willing to give money away to those fx-brokers.

well spreadmarket is the market of the spread between several months. if someone wants to trade this market for example 10-12 in the dec - march spread (fict. numbers here used) this results in a quote for the same number in the march contract if a certain number of december contracts are quoted.

no he didnt err, its you who didnt think this through. He is right. The spreadmarket is autoquoted: that is why.

think the simple explanation is spread quotes from one month into the other cause those same number of bid and asks.

the question is what are you measuring: is it margin versus underlying or probably more interesting margin versus average ticks multiplied by the value of the tick. If you are looking for the first one, i think it should be one of the short term intrest rates contracts.

i know quite a few scalpers, and i havent met one that thought in that kind of terms. Its the bottem line that counts for them: what they actually make.

you are making a joke, not ?:confused:
