future volatility, historical volatiliy, predicted volatility, implied volatility ... these are all DIFFERENT things, you seem to think they are more or less the same, they are NOT, if you had read the books I had advised you to read you would know all this by now. Over and out. I have spend...

This whole thread has been running around in circles. Reread your own thread and really try to understand what people are saying, it seems you are missing big points. I don't know maybe it's the language barier or something else, the end-result is the same: you don't get it.

The fact that you even ask these questions shows you haven't understood a thing about this. Either you can trade pure volatility or you can trade options directionally but even in this last case there will be some componant of volatility you have to take into account in.

predicting FUTURE vol is something totally else, I have no knowledge about that, very very few people here on ET have, and those that have, won't give the secret away ! ! !

I don't know what it is with you: you are extremely stubborn and don't seem to WANT to understand this or either you are incredibly stupid (sorry to say so but it's time you got this). We have spent allready considerable time trying to explain this half a year ago. Seems you still don't...

it is explained there: it uses the lognormal curve, they use math to get an aproximation of that lognormal curve. Put in a s preadsheet with all values in and you get the vol. If you want to trade vol you better know how options really work = the greeks and know as much as a market maker. So you...

are you a frustrated broker at another place ? ... record earnings ... you are going to have to find better stuff if you want to keep on IB-bashing.

quite funny you find vol 46 'fairly cheap' whereas that has been considered 'extremely expensive' over the last thirty years.

yes, IB and oanda for normal retail people are imo the best alternatives.

I did explain, you don't have enough money to be taken seriously. That's it. I could spend another hour with this question but that's it. read this: http://www.amazon.com/Trading-Exchanges-Market-Microstructure-Practitioners/dp/0195144708/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234089978&sr=8-1

It's not that I don't want to help me, it's just your question is so out there I don't even know where to start. The title of the thread should be: making my own operating system - possible ? Also start to explain me why, if so, this can't be done. ... the answer to both questions is: yes it...

I'd suggest you better find out a few things, like ... What does it mean when people say there isn't something like a central marketplace for FX ? What is the usual dealing size for interbank dealing ? start of with those two and we'll probably be a whole lot further in this discussion ...

I see you have an IT-background from your other posts. Imagine me buying a computer for the first time, I start it up, I see Windows, I don't like it as it seems much too quirky and it crashes too much. So I post here somewhere that I heard about programming languages and that it should be...

where you seriously planning to invest that 1000 $ you got left in your piggy-bank ?

2009 and still asking beginners questions. You start to look like the local village idiot !

if you think the answer is simple it only proves you know jack shit about options ...

you must be one of those people that find 'combing their hair' a task ...

mini-fx futures are not really liquid, why trade those, unless you really really have to cause of margin restraints ...

I personally prefer this last option too, if done right and you get used to it, it's fast as lightning.
