Have a look at the weekly chart, it's a clear bullish engulfer at a level. If that doesn't scare you at of your shorts you are delusional. The first thing you got to do when the markets open on sunday is to close your short ... It doesn't get any clearer than this ...

I allready told you on friday to close your shorts on forexfactory @ 1.1744 ... why didn't you do it ? The market looks up now with target of 1.1840. You seem very stubborn, yet have no idea what you are doing, hence all you're hedging in the same currency. You can't both be long and short in...

nothing changes in the answer

This is nonsense question. It all depends on the trading skill of the person in question. You could get ultrahigh returns or just bleed all year long. There is no such thing as an 'average trader'.

My most valuable lesson which I seem to have only recently learned: in all charts and timeframes it's all about context and having the patience to only take the trades when the context lines up.

especially if you have to pay the spread in those options

do you have any idea where Euribor/Eonia stands ... the answer to that question should make your question moot ...

yes they can for intraday ... but I don't understand why you would want an EU-broker ? Why not just go with an American broker

There was a management change a few years back at Oanda and immediately the spreads weren't fixed anymore (socalled to give better service to the customers) in practice this meant only widening of the spreads. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

spreads are way too big at oanda: for example dax is 1 to 1.5 point spread, with Tickmill it is 0.75 points. Eurusd is most of the time 1 pipette spread, often even 0, at most 2. I do have to pay a commission which is 0.4 pipettes. Oanda's Eurusd is something like 13 pipettes during normal...

Tickmill is not a bucket shop and is way cheaper than currency futures + also they offer more than futures can.

Oanda used to be good way way back, however that's not the case since a long time. I moved to Tickmill since a few months and they are much better.

don't understand why you have that need but good luck with it ... not seeing the market seems to be asking for trouble ...

ah, sorry this detail escaped me. Nope you can't derive it from the June futures. However intrest rates should play a minimal part nowadays. look at several strikes and you'll will have a theoretical future of may so you will know the dividends that will arrive before that time. But you are way...

derive the put call parity through the futures that way you don't need interest rates of dividends since they are allready priced into the futures

you should use futures to derive dividend, intrest rate is practically nothing at this point in time

this is extreme naive thinking: puts and calls are not priced the same way since 1987 ... that october a lot of market makers learned how naive that was ...

it's cash settled options and futures

most likely there are like 18 points dividends if I see the above things you posted

using options to try doing this makes things way too complicated since you need an estimate of vol too. Furthermore vol might be skewed.
