anomalies — It won't be too difficult to see the difference (I have a 3 retail feeds), but when do you call it an anomaly is a tough one...depends on their hedging policies, and risk control.

EURUSD

market maker experiences/algorithms — Have you ever been on the other side, meaning working for market makers, brokers? I am very curious of their algorithms for hedging, collecting stops and so on. In my experience, with FXCM once you get ...

wait? — You mean to actually execute a trade? Must be too late...I could have just tried it instead of looking at prices going up and down !

EURUSD

cheap eur — Oanda still sells them euros for 1.37151.

EURUSD

volatility — To risk the obvious, G20 is ending, it is Friday, London is closing in 80 mins, and I probably forgot a few more.

EURUSD

gold? — Does anyone know the largest intraday drop for gold? I recall -2.25%, but it may well be larger. Any numbers (date please) or links to websites are much appreciated.

EURUSD

volumes? — May I ask where does (link?) netdania show volumes? That's one of the feeds I look at but never saw volumes. Thanks.

EURUSD

buy orders — Oanda's fxtrade url shows that there is very little money (net) for buying EUR under present prices. I guess the orders have been shaken out by the recent rollercoaster. Though this should be taken with a pinch of salt, since ...

EURUSD

top of the box? — I guess that means you closed a short . Well done! Does it mean that we have arrived to the box (range) 1.3704-1.3886? Just testing myself if I followed yesterday's discussion with Cloggie...thanks.

real time futures data — OK, all I wanted to point out that a contract for difference on futures does not necessarily have any bearing to what is really going on in the futures market. The price of the CFD is set by your broker/provider and ...

EURUSD

real time futures data — 1. it is CFDs 2. have you read the disclaimer? "not necessarily real time, not necessarily accurate, does not necessarily reflect market prices" Otherwise, spot on ! But thanks for the shot anyway. "Our CFD prices ...

EURUSD

hidden US vs EU debt — I presume you've seen this one: url I'm not arguing where the EUR should trade, but there is a lot of 'invisible' shit on both sides of the pond.

EURUSD

anything else — I'm not an economist, I'm sure there are more qualified people here to answer the question, but (1) China is growing at an enviable pace requiring raw materials (2) Australia has a mining industry, and (3) there is going to be ...

EURUSD

reasons — Look at the price of gold, Australia is a major producer of it. If your product is expensive, your currency will be expensive.

EURUSD

challenge? — there is a challenge for you then: pending order 1.41892 SL 1.4176 with half a lot. Demo or live ? You have 50% to get it right. EDIT: filled

EURUSD

BB — Are you hinting at a similarity to Roy Young (and/or Eugene I Meyer) but for exactly the opposite reason ???

EURUSD

comparing brokers — It will be a nice opportunity to compare which broker will be down or unusably slow (my guess is all) but it will be difficult to compare prices and spreads unless you have API access.

EURUSD

that's an idea — ...though, not one I'd put a penny on. Whichever retail platform you are using the spreads will go through the roof before the announcement, 30pip spread would not be unusual. That itself will happily trigger your stops...and ...

EURUSD

gold? — What's your take on it? Dollar strength expected??? And smaller than expected QE2?

EURUSD

jumps and spreads — I'm trying to make an educated guess to the extent of volatility for the FOMC announcement. Does anyone have ready statistics (min, max, distribution, spread on some retail platform,...) of the moves observed during and ...
