Not sure if it's popular, worked for them for several years and knew of no customers using it for this (and I searched hard), several banks use it for Risk mgmt (VAR) though. On the other way: SAS ETS is very strong at managing time series and I found Base SAS to be unbeatable for...

Not exactly. It is my understanding that brokers/dealers offer leverage/margin to make higher potential profits for their customers viable (at 1:1 leverage you wouldn't go too far, or not as fast at least). This way we have an incentive to trade more, allowing them to profit more frequently...

I've seen the site and I've called them, as I said, no satisfactory reply. I don't want to start a flaming war about fx dealers, I want to understand the logic behind leverage/margin, no matter who the dealer/broker is. Maybe there's some former fx shop employee on the forum that will clear...

Thanks, 1. not worried about them, but I want to be sure I have things straight before diving in, and I still can't get the business logic here from the broker pov 2. uh? what if a gap opens? 3. same as my understanding, it's the logic behind that I can't figure out 4. that's...

Hallo experts, Put yourself into patient mode, I'm fresh from trading kindergarten. Just when I thought I figured out leverage and margin I was struck with this fact: the lower the leverage, the higher the margin. Now this will be crystal clear for the rest of you, let's see if I have it...

Skalpz, 1. great fun reading 2. greater inspirations reading again Would you be so kind and go thru more of the basics in future lessons? Eg: leverage and who pays for that. This forex stuff is fascinating, sure I'll find my answers myself but it would be nice to come back and see your...

Thanks! whooops :) OK, I tried. will look for some of your posts elsewhere, if you ever did post on the subject. Good to hear, on this I may have an edge. And then you get me depressed... but I won't ask you what to watch for. I guess it has to be like it was with learning a...

you're doing goos skalpz, you raised my interest so I opened a demo account. first impression: the interface is much better/faster of what I got at my broker for stocks (don't know if that's true for every broker, I'm on OANDA) Do you have some thoughts to share on time frames and profit...

Nice read overall, I like your writing style. Keep going (and if you care, pls elaborate on this stupidity thing). ns
