Does anyone know what happened to the aggregator ATNABTU news aggregator that Oanda used to have for various news feeds? While not Just In Time delivery, it did provide a centralised source for most of what is going on around the world and some currency specific feeds. Was it discontinued or...

Careful! You are crossing a line you really don't want to cross with that last remark. (plus you are just re-enforcing a stereotype that has become a rather handy tool of the left)

Cramer on his program sais "Now is the time to buy!" That's usually the "tell".

They now have Margaret Brennan for the eye candy crowd.

The tax is akin to a sales tax, but if you want a recent example of a tax that affected business, then maybe the luxury tax imposed under Bush 1 which tacked an additional 10% tax obligation on luxury goods, such as furs, jewelry, cars, and yachts. The tax nearly obliterated the boating industry...

so long as pundits keep postulating in public how a tax would raise 100B a yr, Congress will be tempted. So far, no one in a postion of importance (i.e. Geitner, Summers) has taken the time to demonstrate WHY as tax would be detrimental to the economy. All we get is "I don't think so"s and that...

I'll relax only when Congress becomes a little more balanced. Geitner does not make tax law.

A group of Democrats from California have proposed a 1% state tax on all derivatives transactions as a way for the cash-strapped state to climb out of its financial black hole. It would also end what they call the “reckless, speculative casino finance of investment banks and hedge funds.”...

Intervention hasn't been an effective deterrent in the currency market for years. To make it somewhat of a dent, you would need a coordinated effort by all the major central banks and as of now, they can't agree on anything. Plus, the market has grown so large that throwing a few billion at a 3T...

FINRA Chairman Richard Ketchum just said on CNBC interview with Pisani that he doesn't see a transaction tax that would slow down the growth/operations of the markets. Probably find the video posted later online.

SPX 1095 before 1100??? Good call genius.

you mean like this one? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2601078#post2601078

Uh...actually in this case, we do. (or at least trying to)

That Clinton guy is a misinformed moron. Here he is pushing this tax because, as he puts it, we have to recoup the 100's of billions of dollars given to banks in TARP. He even backed the AFL-CIO in their call for this. Fucking moron! There already is a provision in the TARP regulation that...

Typical on the majors? .3 to .7 to 1 pip during prime times occassionally you would see zero, but as you know, that would probably be just a flash bid or ask. Generally, you would be getting filled with less than 1 pip on EUR and JPY and 1 to 1.5 on cable during those prime times.

You can get HotspotFXi access thru a number of brokers. I have an account trading futures with Advantage but they also offer HS access using their prime account with JPM. Minimum to open is 50k and fees start at 20/mil.

The best benefit I have found with IB and forex trading is the ability to trade BOTH the futures and the spot against each other. It is a great benefit to be able to hedge spot against the futures and not have to worry about that silly FIFO rule that seems to trip up so many here.

Hotspot no longer has retail accounts - they sold their retail ECN business to FXCM (and in the process, screwing their loyal base). Hotspot's focus is institutional and as of last year you could get an account with them directly from 100k. You can get HS access from a variety of brokers such as...
