Got in at 124.15ish just before it was breaking - thank God...

Looking more closely at the list, for instance HotSpotFX has twice the number of banks providing liquidity. Obviously though, IB has all the biggest, so maybe it doesn't matter much.

Thanks - I gave it about 2 minutes earlier today with no luck - guess you're the better Googler :)

I think Ninjatrader offers a static dom for $1 per trade - which allows you to escape IB TWS if that's not your cup of tea. I wouldn't have any problems recommending IB.

EURUSD is usually around 1 pip - rarely 0.5, and frequently 1.5 pips. However, the bank quotes contain fractional pips which means that a 1.35050 bid could really be 1.35052. I don't trade CAD, but for EURJPY I'd say the average is about 3-3.5 pips - it happens that it's 1-2 pips, but with...

Does anyone know the current number of liquidity providers with IDEALPRO (Interactive Brokers)? Who the current banks are would also be nice to know. TIA.

The disclosed amounts alone are about 20 bn now, the undisclosed amounts are... well.. undisclosed. As someone mentioned, the gains may have been fictional so the losses aren't "real" per se, but for a bank or hedgefund that takes the loss it's a very real loss for their balance sheet and...

Completely agree - many of the current problems are related to lack of oversight/enforcement.

About trading there sure is a lot to learn from Livermore. Are you blind to the fact that Reminiscences is the most-often quoted book of what really captures trading? By the greatest traders of all time? The lessons to be learned are both about making and losing money. In fact, if you've read...

That previous quote - it's so right. To me it's so true. As Livermore said: The big money is in the big swings. Getting that right is what really matters.

Look at the Yen and the Japanese bank package.

Aren't you able to understand just how "retarded" and stupid your statement sounds? Suck it up for the next four years, loser.

The one thing Obama should do when he takes power is for the US Govt to just take over ownership of the Fed. No payment to the owners, make it a state-controlled institution with no private ownership.

I'd say dollar movements would provide some oil action in 2009.

By the way, did you catch this article from Seeking Alpha last Friday? http://seekingalpha.com/article/109210-the-manipulation-of-gold-prices?source=front_page_most_popular_articles There is no other leveraged commodity market where short sellers increase their positions, materially, as...

No, not long. I haven't traded it since Monday, I only scalp it when it overshoots.

Just bounced up again - I got 0.8779 as the new ath for now.

I thought this was glaringly obvious: There is NO way GM can continue for more than 1-2 months even if the first rescue package is approved. It's like pissing in your pants outside in a snow storm - good for five minutes, then it gets even worse.

I trade this pair a few times a week - but only for a quick contrarian scalp when it's overbought/sold. EUR sure has been getting stronger vs GBP, and if EURUSD starts breaking out over 1.30 we should be looking at 0.9 on EURGBP.

Some weeks ago BoJ was rustling their feathers, I guess intervention is drawing nearer... Everyone's just waiting for that to happen, in the meantime the trend is up up and away.
