My trades

Quote from Buy1Sell2:

wrong terminology--sorry bout that--Thanks for putting me in the picture. Illliquid, wouldn't it be better for someone to wait til they had the funds and trade the futures instead?

Who knows? He might lose those funds just as fast or faster.

But there is no question that at the present time, the ecn structured globex market offers far less slippage for the individual trader for the major dollar crosses. There is just no reason to stay with paying 3-5 pip spreads each side once you've accumulated enough capital to trade in 1-lot futures increments (125K).
 
seems to me that the standardized futures contracts would be much more liquid and price determination would be more accessible to the speculator. If some traders on forex are low on capital, perhaps they shouldn't be trading and as well it wouldn't seem that the interest received would be much for those.

I trade one EUR/USD Globex contract for every 25k in my account. I disregard the exchange minimums-too risky. Cash sounds like a scam to me to sucker in underfunded traders.

AUD/JPY pays 251.88%
GBP/JPY 204.55%
USD/JPY 179.25%
GBP/CHF 176.76%
USD/CHF 151.50%


and so on....

Oh really? I guess all those hedge funds out there must be missing out on something lol.
 
I don't know ES. I will have to read up a bit on this. I can't imagine it being this easy to earn interest payments like that. One thing that a lot of us have surely learned is that there is no free lunch, so I am of course, skeptical. By the way, is your 2 to 5% including wins and losses on the trades?
