Very sorry to hear. I sincerely hope you're wrong.

The bet is valued at 99,920/100,000; so certainly a poor gamble on the touch-bet. I wasn't taking it personally; I was attempting to convey that there wasn't any conviction in that statement, so it's easy to offer.
 
The cool thing is this. As long as there are disagreements there will be markets. Obviously there is at least one buyer and one seller for tomorrow. Good trading to all. I am currently flat until I see a breakout one way or the other.
 
1.5 atr5 tomorrow would be akin to a 2 sigma move. you could do 10k/200k odds and still have positive expectancy.

atticus, what is your leverage level, aka, how much on the no touch?

10k/1000k would retain edge, but you'd have to be insane. No dealer would sell the touch at fairval.

It's $315k/$600k payout at 1% of aum.
 
the fx feed blows.. they use to host hotspot fx... but barclays...resolution tick feed is not as reflexive.

The historical data has errors that arent fixed and left alone. But being mostly a position trader, I really don't need it.
 
the market was rescued today, some would say to create a favorable environment for the BX ipo.

China's trying to diversify its assets, and just as Japan tried to do, its trying to invest in US hard assets.

China can goose the market tommorrow.

Edit: China realizes it needs to convert its paper foreign reserves to hard assets as quickly as possible since most of them are dollar based. Secondary to inflation/loss in value of the dollar.
