See attached... for comparison. usd/cad vs 6C................. With Oanda it makes a third run at the stops at the top where 6C with ninja doesn't, it test a 3rd time without hitting stops below 2nd leg. I take it this is commonplace? Wonder if there is any room left to arb...

haha now that I take a second look , looks like Zenfire is doing a number at the sunday open with that huge tail on 6a, oanda didn't have that . ehh, maybe someone can just arb it or something but I'll stick with ninja- zen haven't had a problem with them for the last 5 years I'm not trying...

6a , look at the bottoms, they are flat in ninja-zen, in oanda its all over, triggering stops like a mofo. lol

Tested them out for 6 months... news spreads are outrageous , I can't even hold an already profitable trade without getting screwed and slipped with their bs news spreads. Sticking to currency futures instead if I'm going to trade currency. Lesson learned. Look at these charts to see some...

No it's not, If you don't learn how/why you did this to yourself in the first place you will repeat mistake in future . Not trying to twist the knife but just think about how you got here for a while and ask yourself what you will do in the future to never make the same mistake again...

So when my tv is on channel 1 and there is only white static fuzz where is the signal? There is none , right? Maybe when I see the playboy channel all fuzzy and can hear bits here and there , a little bit of signal is present :) off topic banter over and out :)

its a shame you were a tad early on this but it happens to the best of us, still eyeing 75? Possible reshort plans? If you don't want to disclose , thats fine too.

If I am trading an instrument , say silver for example, ( a relatively thin market) and take out a few levels of DOM with my market order and move the market a few ticks, is that manipulation? If I'm a big player , my actions are going to move it more than a couple stupid ticks, especially if I...

Noise to me is an HFT algo quote stuffing just to slow the feed down. Pres obama or Bernanke speaking is noise, cnbc and news is noise. Most of ET is noise. Most of twitter is noise. When my little voice in my head is talking to myself when I'm trading , it's noise :)

Maybe not to do with trading, but economically, I think the trophy for "unethical" goes to the Federal Reserve for devaluing the dollar which screws over the rest of the world for the United States' benefit. It's backfiring and when we lose World Reserve Currency status. Well we'll see what...

The sandisk guys from Wallstreet Warriors, betting all of their clients money on one stock and telling them to cost avg every time it flopped. Enron, Tim sykes, Penny pump and dump newsletters.

I am looking for most of the ways our industry conducts fraudulent and/or unethical activity. I know everyone's definition will vary. Some things may be legal but still unethical. Some things may be fraud and unethical. I will name a few of my own personal ideas of unethical/fraudulent...

In the world of managing OPM you make your bread and butter from fees. You talk to your clients like Obama talks to the public, you try to insist everything is fine and just add more money to fix the problems when they arise. In the world of trading independently you eat what you kill and if...

"Realistic weekly or monthly returns of a top pro trader?" Common question and flipside provided a good answer of what is possible to achieve by the very few. Think of your chances of making it in to the MLB and the level of effort that would take. Compare it to trading. The more...

OP is talking about using an algo he made which he wants to trade his family's money based on the warm fuzzy feeling he got from looking at his backtest. He has stated his system made 76% live but had very wild swings. Automatic recipe for disaster and you encourage the guy to be an FA so he...

Is it worth your relationships being awkward or even hostile if something goes wrong? What if they want to pull money during drawdown? What if you lose it all? Don't put yourself through all that, use your head. If you've been in business for a number of years and can pull money out of...

You're newbie? Give your uncles money back and tell him to go on a cruise . Don't be an idiot while taking advantage of an idiot.

Here is some detail on what "they" probably have some algo based on. http://fxtrade.oanda.com/analysis/forex-order-book The small player always has a chance to make it but the many losers will always feed the few winners, just the way it has to be. Just like 6 of the Waltons own more...

revised I would guess that this would be dependent on the instrument too. Some forex pairs trend more often. Where as other instraments/pairs revert to mean more often. Guess... 40% chance there are new highs 25% chance there is an inside day 15% Chance there is an outside...

53% new highs, 47% new lows Just an estimate, never quantified it. This will be interesting.
