    USD - Up or Down?

    I say prolonged trading range between 1.20 and 1.30 until june where we possibly get interest rate cut in US. I do not see either 1.20 or 1.30 breaking any time soon. Best thing to do is to sell volatility at this point. or buy directional options at the extremes. If greenspan has a heart...

    I have a loss of 1.400% by

    I don't trade longs. as there are more than enough opportunities for short profits. While I do appreciate that there is value in the long side for some trades, or traders, that does not include long calls, under any circumstances. Infinite profit once in a blue moon, for many many losses. One...

    China currency revaluation

    Dunno if you've noticed, but reserves have never been so high. Bush is building some really good arguments in his favor when he starts pouring the oil reserves into the market. A nice spread play, I think...

    Wall Street or Hedge Fund job idea's?

    It is not your resume that is the problem. It is your status. I have a few friends who are in the same position as yourself. It's tough, you gotta keep trying.

    yes, it's called a native vs simulated order. Some exchanges do not accept the same set of native orders. Nasdaq accepts most of them I think. NYSE accepts a few less.

    Sharpe Ratio

    Hmmmm, If I were you I would start with the equation of the sharpe ratio, and as you know, the equation contains a component of volatility also known as standard deviation. So I would say your file does not contain enough info to calculate a meaningful SR.

    DealbookFX DEMO ( GFT )

    GFTForex is a good platform, I've been using it for 2 months now. The only thing you must know is if you're under 2000 and you're trying to setup a limit/stop/contingent order, DO NOT use the keyboard to enter your levels, rather use the up/down arrows provided in the GUI. I have lost hundreds...

    Legality of front running?

    It's illegal, yes it is. And figuring out that a large order is going to hit is not even tape reading, it's guessing. What the hell are you people thinking ???? Front running IS insider information trading, you act upon knowledge that is secret.

    Poll: Which Is Your Favorite Forex Broker?

    What a misconception, this is... You do not have to go long in one and short in the other, you can simply put in an OCO order and bracket the trade price before the eco release. It's a volatility play, just like any other play. The key is to know when to get out of the trade. Not always easy.

    EUR/USD projection

    Nice chart wallace. I especially like how the fibo retracements are right on the spot. How did you like the dip and the the reversal ? I chose not to sell Euros because of the political events going on but I'm long the reversal. Gotta love it.
