i'm talking about a real exchange here. What do you think people in europe had been doing all along in the last century. Try to read some books by Kostolany and you will see forex speculation has been around for a long long time.

not everything is invented in the USA dear friends. I live in Brugge (Bruges as most english speaking people know it) around 1200 this city was, together with Venice, the main trading center in Europe. Lots of merchants came here from all over Europe, especially lots of Italians. Each city in...

hmmm sorry to dissapoint you but i live 100 meters from a place where they used to trade currencies 800 years ago.

yes, cme globex

no, i just trade forex futures, smaller spreads meaning more money for me at the end of the month.

these are not exactly places i associate with quality of life. It's what your money can buy that determines quality of life and the overall "atmosphere" of the place. Things like safety count too. Or what if you can only live in small housing with no garden. Or you cant go to a decent restaurant...

you obviously have not seen too much of the world

you have to have very good reasons not to trade forex futures.

they are all prepared to rob you from your money

I remember in the beginning of the nineties index options in Belgium even traded under 10 for more then a year, we went as low as 8.

try to be more specific

try to get the point for once, yes banks make a market in it, several, which leads to much smaller spreads, if you save one pip, you make almost three times your commission back for a rt. I think i can save 1 pip on almost every trade i make compared to all forex brokers in euro/usd. If like...

i think you should try another drug, i want to pay that commission instead of feeding those croocked brokers with the spread. Its much cheaper in the end. Do you think they really do it for free ...

I also loaded their demo and i can confirm its the worst i have seen and i have been trying out lots of them recently. The spreads were simply ridiculous. I deleted it about 10 minutes after i opened it because off all above reasons. It only confirms my opinion that you better have very good...

i trade them intraday using the futures, saves a lot on the spread.

i've seen people do worse things ... and yes this is a good story to remind us not to trade on stupid hunches.

i looked at some charts and no it didnt look good, haven't made a real study out of it, but didnt feel like looking much further. Dont think it fits my personality either for trading it, that was an additional reason not to look further into it. By the way, i personally think the study should...

sorry but still dont agree, i trade over a 1000 contracts a month, saving something like 10 usd ads up, ok stoplosses are not guarenteed but in euro/usd liquidity is sufficient to take your orders at reasonable prices. Not sure about the margin though, futures margin should be low enough for any...

i use ib: 4.8 usd rt, one pip = 12.5 USD, so if i can save 1 pip i'm allready in the plus. If you have an account open up euro/usd future, a lot of the times the spread is the minimum of 1 pip.
