Then "liquidity" may not be an issue for you.... However, something has to be done with the positions at expiration if you're ITM. If you're 99% of the market, that may not work out in your favor. Of course I don't know how things might work out in your particular case. All I'm saying is that...

It's always a high risk to be so large as to "become the market". When things get "panicky", EVERYBODY IS SELLING INTO YOU! Can't imagine that being a risk worth taking or a good thing regardless of how you spin it. Hey... do what you want... it's your money. However... I'm not a good...

From my point of view, THAT'S CRAZY!! For equities, I'll take positions only up to about 0.5% of the average daily handle. That means, "I'm 1/200 of the entire global trading market".... me, one person... 1/200 of the entire daily transactions. Even that leaves me a little queasy about the...

LOL! That's the world's financial marketplace in general.

Last I heard he was living large in Florida.... avoiding state income tax, you know.

Does your trading app have DOM? Of so you have a general idea of how much size you can do before slippage becomes a concern.

Ain't that the truth! Applies to more than just your broker.

I'm not going to read the entire thread, but there is a famous picture of Paul Tudor Jones at his desk with a sign on the wall behind him. It reads, "Losers Average Into Losers". If you don't understand what that means, you shouldn't be trading at all.

So... does Oanda not charge commissions because they make theirs off of the spread? And do they disclose that to traders so they know what they're dealing with? (There are some brokers who advertise, "Zero commission"... but we know they make theirs off of an artificially wide spread... which...

Ain't that the F'n truth!

Seems to me that trading "against the house as counterparty" is just asking to be abused. You saying Oanda actually brokers spot Forex trades into the marketplace rather than acting as counterparty?

Somebody suggested that if you're going to trade Forex, do it with futures... where there are regulations and actual brokers. Whaddaya think?

Update.... MSFT has added back to my Windows Updates the file they had pulled. (Hopefully now fixed.) As a general rule, I don't install Windows Updates right away when first available. I wait about 10 days to see if there are problems reported by others. (If Widows Update is set to...

LOL! Good one.

I think there's some truth to this.... except for the fact that Nazism is actually an EXTREME LEFT political platform. That's correct.... Nazi, Facist, Marxist, Communist, Progressive, Socialist = "Leftism" And somewhere in there, the American DemoCrap party. All cousins of one another.

So..... (1) You open your borders and welcome into your country... MILLIONS of illiterate savages who have sworn to either convert you to their religion/culture or kill you, then (2) you have to adopt a military profile to combat the savages you let into your country. Could you BE any more...

Isn't that always the case? LBJ and his Great Society... with its "I'll have niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years". And Odumbo's... "unfettered immigration to destroy America". I hope there's a special place in HELL for politicians who harm the people they pledged to serve...

Seems they did it backwards... should have been aborting male babies.... so there'd be a huge excess of females. That way, when they grow up, even fat and ugly guys could get a woman.
