Are you actually capable of responding to what someone says to you in a conversation, or do you always just do your best to change the subject? Clearly hit a nerve based your inability to actually respond to what appears to be a very inconvenient lie by Trump. You appear willing to shuck and...

Do you have anything to contribute to the conversation or just trolling?

I'm sorry, did I take that quote out of context? Did he not say that? No I did not, it's exactly what he said and it's not "an exaggeration", it's flat out false. Clearly you know that because you very pointedly ignored discussing it. So I'm at a loss as to why you think a claim that 95% of what...

Let's be crystal clear here. Trump tweeted "The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one". This is completely, absolutely, without any shred of doubt false. And you know it's false...

I can't help but notice you still are unable to admit that the President of the United States blatantly lying is reprehensible. The interesting thing is that you're clearly a rational and intelligent person, if you weren't you'd simply claim that Trump was speaking the truth. So you know that...

Actually the moderators do remove posts here on ET. And every news outlet in America can also publish whatever they like, be that a lie, truth, or, gasp!, pointing out that the President is lying. As they should be allowed to, BECAUSE ITS THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY TO DO WITH AS THEY LIKE BECAUSE WE...

Once again, are you not bothered by the freaking President of the United States blatantly lying? I know, it's inconvenient to face that fact, and I guess easier to get yourself all riled up about supposed suppression of your speech. But seriously, if you can't admit that the President telling...

Funny that none of you Trump fans are discussing the unassailable fact that the post that caused Trump to throw this latest tantrum was in fact full of untruths and Twitter simply pointed that fact out. You've gotten to the point that you not only don't care when the President of the United...

The problem with correlation and a 75 company index is that it's not a static thing and it's easy to overfit. For example, UBER and LYFT are both in this index, both with more than a 1/75 weighting. They also include TSLA and GRUB in the index. Those 4 stocks certainly aren't what one would...

Also perhaps instructive to learn a little bit about how payment processing networks work, who owns them, and how those are connected to other areas of the bank, and what the Volcker Rule is. Which specific prop trading group and which specific bank do you have evidence is doing this, or even...

It's really buried. You have to go to the Documents link at the bottom of the Small Exchange site, download the Small Exchange Rulebook, rename it with a .pdf at the end because they didn't so your computer won't recognize it, go to Chapter 30, which directs you to another site...

It's pretty instructive to become a lender on Prosper or Lending Tree and put some of your own money at risk. It makes the whole concept of risk and weighing the miniscule "Returns, minute by minute, second by second" to the potential loss of your principle very real in a way that just reading...

For sure +x% carry doesn't certainly result in a -x% CCY move in a single instance. However it would if you took out all other exogenous factors impacting the currency fluctuation. Those exogenous factors, absent some persistent market distorting factors like a country propping up its currency...

Well we already talked about that. Would like to hear some more of your coherent thoughts though!

No doubt, I think professional forex investing is interesting because there are so many non-discretionary players in the space who are forced to make non-market moves. If you master that there's alpha to be had. BOJ was a prime example being backed into a corner with their currency 10 years ago...

Just an FYI as a I know English isn't your first language (only because you said where you're from, it's actually excellent and I wouldn't know otherwise) the term "exotic" when applied to options is generally defined as that isn't an American or European expiration option, i.e binary, asian...

There's really no such thing as a "carry trade", there is just a bet that a high interest currency will go up more due to exogenous factors more than it will naturally decay due to the interest rate differential. And people fool themselves into calling it a "carry trade" because that sounds so...

I perhaps added too much background information and my overall point was lost. If TRY has a 14% interest rate, then in 1 year, all other factors being taken out, TRY will be worth 14% less than it is today. So you'll receive 14% interest and lose 14% of the value, a complete wash. Therefore the...

Actually the only way to "certainly" get anything in the future with currency is to enter a futures or forward contract. And if you take a look at those, you'll see that the futures price exactly discounts the amount you would make in carry if you held the high interest currency. In other...

I'll be the nerd because I seem to remember now that ICE has a couple Asian options on I think electricity or oil, maybe both. Can't imagine there would be much volume there though per the OP. I'm not sure why no-one tries it either, seems like any easy way to differentiate yourself. IMHO the...
