You are not quite understanding the risk issue. Countries don't go bankrupt. They print money. They devalue their currency. THAT is the risk. You will earn your rate of return and lose 10 times that rate when converting back into dollars. Please make sure you understand this...

You want something like this: https://www.everbank.com/currencies/cd-baskets However these are not government bonds but CD rates in the return on foreign currencies. These are "relatively" safe since they are short term. There is NO such thing as safe bonds. Not even US Treasury bonds...

Daal, it all averages out over time. When valuations are high, just as when home prices are high, people are earning an outsized return on their assets, much higher then they should otherwise. When valuations compress, they earn negative returns. Over time they get the mean. Yes, some people...

BTW, for any of you that follow natty, we have a new exchange where you can trade weather. https://www.tradewx.com/

I've been all over this move. Mostly in the HJ spread which has been the gift that keeps on giving. This has definitely been the place to be in the energy space.

There are more and more HFTs getting into FX trading and there is no doubt they are exasperating these moves. I don't think there was anyway to see that coming.

Well my number lines were in chop mode but we did have a nice failed weekly A up to fade if you wanted to be short. Although ahead of the jobs number I'm not sure why you would be.

GBP/JPY anyone? Just had a mini-crash....run along now...nothing to see here. :)

Do you live in London?

Thanks for posting this. Just added to my Amazon buy list. Definitely one of the most interesting men in the history of markets. Can't wait to read it.

Fisher's webinar has been moved due to the hurricane. It will now be Oct 27th. Apparently the strong winds were blowing all the Fisher bars over.

Oh...just build a platform. LOL. Great advice. While he is at it, he can start his own brokerage, create his own exchange and invent his own trading products. I mean it's all so simple right? Build your own! Thanks mate. I think that might be a "little" bit more expensive then just...

I understood the 6k a year cost but he implied it was a fixed cost and it was not. The platform is a viable alternative to TT and CQG and that is the point I made. I tried to explain to him that there is no "platform cost". In fact, I was making your point that it's simply a scheme used by...

You are confusing me with someone else mate. Side effect of drinking I guess. He asked for platform suggestions, I mentioned one. Then you start on lecturing everyone on this thread about the big bad FCMs. I think we are all adults here mate. We can make our own choices thank you very much...

Hey Mate, what the flying fuck was in your scotch tonight? You are rambling on here about absolutely nothing. Stop responding to my posts as if you are making a point. I don't own an FCM, work for one, or affiliated with one or any trading software what so ever. The OP wanted to find free...

Are you intentionally choosing to not listen to me or am I really speaking over your head. Here, let me help you out. I spent 8 years in the chicago prop community and I had a lot of friends that ran IBs. I know a little bit about what goes on there so let me help you out here. Here is what...

That first $20 is "including the first 40 contracts" and again, if you are doing any kind of volume, your FCM will discount that cost back to you. You seem pretty green about this. No offense. This is all standard protocol.

I have to agree with Bone here, you get what you pay for. Garbage in...garbage out. Caveat emptor.
