When the market gets volatile how will they quote you? You taking prices from your counterparty... The CME you have access to all the player banks in the market, thus you will get the fairest prices in all conditions. Liquidity is extremely deep and virtually unlimited... Not that any day...

You are a moron. The CAD on CME does around 50 - 100 Mill/day notional. When I was an interbank fx options broker at ICAP, the largest dealer, even on Euro we might do a Bill on a busy day. What kind of liquidity does Moarla need? Has Moarla ever traded a single option before? Furthermore...

I don't think any one bank has the ability to manipulate the forex market to such a degree as you imply. The banks are competing against each other, program versus program... if they were all on the same program one of them would figure it out and burn the others big time. There is no...

The very best and biggest fx prop traders in the bank trading medium time frames, few weeks to months, are generally correct on their calls 1 out of 3... and these are the banks that have the cash, the order flow, the research, the contacts in the central banks, etc etc... the writer of this...

Only way to trade FX is on the CME. Open an account with Advantage Futures, get X Trader or Ninja.. 0 pip spreads, instantaneous light speed execution..

I would love to see how you are going to nimbly scalp for two ticks using 150 EUR/USD contracts. If you spent any time looking at the market you would know the market will not allow you to do so very often. EUR is one of the most liquid contracts on the exchange and it averages about 70...

1% per day is incredibly easy and simple to do. Let's look at at FX Futures on the CME. Take your pick, EUR, YEN, whatever. 2000 per contract intraday margin. 10$ per tik. On a ten K account it's one puny trade or a pike for 2 tiks and you are done. Pick your method, use Bollinger Bands...

Maverick, how can I get int touch with you directly. I'm interested to know what became of the FX Options Desk you were writing about in an earlier posting.

The CME is the fairest market available. All the major dealers are competing and the liquidity is massive. The new micro futures allow for excellent hedging and fine tuning of your position. I also utilize Montreal Exchange in my strategy trading the CAD. I trade on Montreal only because...

Why are you comparing fund managers to prop traders? There is no comparison. A prop trader in a bank is trading, a hedge fund or any type of fund is investing client money, that is 'NOT' trading. One cannot trade with the same dynamic on 100MM of capital as they can with 50k, obviously...

My apologies Topsurfi, it was not your comment I intended to quote, I don't know how our comments got linked. We are saying the same thing. 0 sum game. A lot of stupid people. If a person cannot trade option greeks they have about a 1% chance of making it as a professional trader. I...

A logical conclusion for someone such as yourself who clearly failed grade 2 math and is still having issues with the most finite and linear of basic addition. I can't wait to put your losing trades into my pocket. What would please me more however is if all the losers and pathetic...

Exactly. I don't know why I read the trash on this site, so many frikin losers. People unable to do simple arithmetic should probably investigate another line of work. Think about this. It's a zero sum game. If all you losers are losing, somebody is winning your money. Don't be stupid, do...

I used to work as a pricing analyst for the fund management arm of the largest custodian bank in the US. This was my job, getting prices straight. Different traders would want their prices coming from different providers and exchanges. Where Bloomberg might be using an eod price based on...
