    Think or Swim Forex

    Gain or Forex.com is not their provider. They offer a ton of pairs that are not offered by the former mentioned. I would guess its Saxo based on the offerings.

    Few Questions For Curr. Professionals

    Just due a search for exotic option structures to get a general feel for what they are. Knockouts are specifically a type of barrier option. If you want a way more in depth look, pick up Dynamic Hedging by Nassim Taleb. Be forewarned, this book is advanced and not an easy read. These...

    I want out of the dollar, Where should I go?

    I would be careful holding swiss franc's since they are looking to devalue just like the next central bank. That being said, they are way more concerned with EURCHF than USDCHF. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601085&sid=al8uYPZzDobU&refer=europe Your safest bet likely remains...

    Why is the market still so low?

    I have been bearish forever. I stated my concerns on this board back in March of 2007, which left me a bit too early and I paid for it. The only thing that makes me an ounce bullish is that fact that so many people are so bearish. The path of maximum frustration is higher, and while I think it...

    Ben Bernanke is a Huge Lunatic Paranoid Money Printer -MegaInflation Coming

    Send a 40K check to anyone who makes less than 150K

    Combining something deflationary and something that is inflationary sets up a hyperinflation scenario. Where does this all this new found wealth and money supply end up? It will end up in hard and soft assets. Where are interest rates likely be in this environment? All this intervention will...

    Send a 40K check to anyone who makes less than 150K

    Printing money does not create wealth, it is just like a stock split. The system that created all this fictious crap is broken and will not be restored. The last years of "growth" were created by lax lending standards, which in turn inflated real estate prices, which in turn allowed home owners...

    Futures currency / Spot currency spread trading

    Forex Liquidity

    This question can not easily be answered since it is way dependent on the given time you are trading. For instance, eurchf and eurgbp are going to be relatively illiquid in Asian trade but thick in Europe. USDCAD is very thin when traded outside of North American trading hours. Everything is...

    What's the best asset class for the next 1-5 years if we become deflationary?

    If we head into a deflationary environment, which I think is highly likely down the road, I would be long dollars and short the tips & commodities. Tough to have on now as these markets have gone parabolic but when they crack...

Is that individual an execution trader only or are the on the bottom end seniority? If they are putting their ideas to work then 10% of...
