I didn't assume you were lying. Other then a few basically sarcastic remarks which were just jokes this thread is not about you or I. They do infact paint the tape on the OTC BB and the Pinkies. They traded dealer to dealer for a wash all the time printing millions of shares all over the...

As if they dont paint the tape and print stuff all over the place in those markets to draw in people? ROTFLMAO

Somedays they bring the first team in on subs up the Chicago river and then right up those hatches.

Yep ... someday I'll meet someone who has not cornered that market on line. Which of your Ferrari's do you enjoy the most?

Well I agree the OTC BB's and the pinkies are a joke ... I have yet to meet anyone on line who has lost money in them. I sure do meet hundreds of people who either say they "got lucky" or outright claim big profits regularlly in those markets. I guess its silly for me to ask how it is that...

Program trading makes up as much as 70% of NYSE volume on many days they in all the time. Its statistical arb.

The FED and the other central banks of the world used to openly announce they were intervening in the currency markets. In fact they would call the big desks in the interbank market and buy or sell dollars accordingly. Granted intervention was not a common occurrence and they've really abandoned...

ROTFLMAO

Okay fair enough... my apologies. The whole concept of the FRB stepping in and buying stock index futures becasue a 1500 dollar SnP index is down 40 to 60 bucks just makes me laugh.

Let me get this straight, you're saying that an op piece from the Washington Post around 10 years ago proves the FED steps in and buys futures? I gave the WP piece a quick read maybe I missed where it said they had facts that the Fed steps in and buys futures? Did those meetings they talk about...

Yea when I traded on the CME the floor tiles would open like hatches and these guys in Red White and Blue jackets would pop out and start bidding for everything. They all had badges with only one account and their counter party was USA 1 through USA 50 and they all cleared through a clearing...

The FED and all of the worlds central banks used to intervene in the currency markets. I traded currency options for 10 years in philly, on the cme and for a large bank. The Fed would absolutely do intervention. The kicker was the more they did it the less it worked. Ultimately they knew they...

What do they do with all the futures they're long from propping up the markets? ROFLMAO

If this is all so rigged then why do you plaY?

You're mistaken if you think live CNBC has real time news on anything. Look at a Reuters terminal or a Bloomberg terminal then look at CNBC LOL

Do you believe they're buying equity index futures or currency futures? LOL

chartiste ... its the internet the "hard to borrow" or "non borrow" list does not apply. Oh and any day anyone wants to be the greatest day ever is the greatest day ever.

I traded currency options for 10 years both as a MM on the CME and PHLX and from the desk of a large bank, but I have not been in that market for 10 years. There may be some speculation premium in the swap market... Since you asked me for my opinion I would say no. If there is a lot of swap...

Swaps are an interest rate calculation. You're taking delivery of a currency or commodity for a future date. You're speculating on the change in the cost to carry to that date or hedging a payable or receivable you have on that date in the future. Yes you're taking a position in the underlying...

A swap or forward has nothing at all to do with the trend of the underlying currency pair. Its a simply interest rate calculation.
