    Does anybody own a ferrari?

    Have to disagree with your premise. First, I don't believe there's any conceivable way we can estimate, with any degree of reliability, 0-60 time with optimal shifting to maximize acceleration and therefore minimize time to speed, just from knowing 40-60 time in 2nd gear. Depends on test...

    homemaker accused of concealing about 400 million yen gained through foreign exchange

    "Her brokerage is not required to submit records of trading with their clients to tax authorities. For that reason, it is difficult for tax authorities to comprehend how much profit the clients have made." Those detail-oriented Japanese... We'd be well-served to emulate that wise policy in...

    optionetics dvds for swap

    Perhaps you should switch from perennial paper trading to sales as a logical career choice. Publicly offering to swap illegal file copies not just of any pirated software, but only those few, select products that have been carefully pre-screened to qualify as crap, a waste of money and not...

    CFTC Advisory on Forex Brokers

    It's "The New Market Wizards." Lipschutz made his name as a currency trader at Sally. That was way before forex, for better or for worse, became easily accessible to everyone fully equipped with a dial tone and a pulse. Here's that chapter as a pdf file. I trust Mr. Schwager wouldn't mind...

    He has. Bill Lipschutz ("The Sultan of Currencies") in NMW. It's the book opener. You haven't bothered to read Schwager books, have you?

    Trading and Dating

    Now you talking! Good to hear that. The best part is... like a trader who's turned a corner from losing to winning, there's really no going back. As long as you don't become complacent, while allowing this new paradigm to become second nature over time.

    "Edgeless" monitor

    nitro, I believe the most common technical term for what you're looking for is "thin bezel". I've seen them as low as 0.4in (10mm), maybe less now (ultra-thin, super-thin, what have you.) Google "thin bezel monitor" or simply "thin bezel".

    Do i pay the spread too?

    Another way to think about it is this: the moment your entry order is filled, you start out in the hole / down 4 pips, at that very moment. That figure (negative spread value, here -4 pips) remains part of your Unrealized P&L throughout the duration of the trade. When your exit order is...

    New York to London

    Hey, that's nothing. Head over from Boston to Paris instead, and you'll be swimming by Step 9! Never mind that "3,584 mi (about 29 days 3 hours)" stuff... minor details. Also works from any N. American city to any European city (as far East as Moscow, for instance). Doesn't seem to work...

    Trading and Dating

    No, no, no. If she's really that hot, use her mere presence to attract as many other hotties as you could ever handle, and then some. Show up together with your, um, student body at clubs, bars, concerts, beaches, etc. and see if you can act somewhat friendly / approachable yet hard to get /...

    Is there a way to buy without leverage through oanda?

    You can't create a sub-account in NZD, SGD, etc., because you can't create a primary account in NZD, SGD, etc. Those are not valid account (primary or sub-) base currencies, which are: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, USD. Once again, I am not aware of any difference, trading-wize, between your...

    Is there a way to buy without leverage through oanda?

    Huh? :confused: You seem to be confusing "account leverage" and "trade leverage." The latter obviously can't exceed the former, but can be a small fraction of it. 10:1 - 50:1 simply sets an upper bound for maximum (initial) "account leverage," across all open trades combined. A given...

    Oanda just another bucket shop

    I found it difficult the last time I tried, especially during the early European session, my prime time. Unless you're playing with the Euro-fx, less thin than everything else. Maybe I should take another look. You may be thinking $10 / tick, rather than $6.25 for sterling. The cost of the...
