"i'm smarter than the market and I can beat it. These idiots got nothing on me." haha, reminds me of the old days. There are people that trade using algorithms, price action, fundamentals, technicals and a combination of one or more of the above. ...

Starting from scratch... Again.

thank you! In that case, every move is a short squeeze. lol. Hope to read more of your posts. I say, who cares why its moving. Its moving, so get on the train and make some money. On a side note, any reason why you quit the MM job? I desperately ...

The WoRmHoLe

1. Stops getting triggered is not the same as a short squeeze. Stop hunting occurs as a quick spike. Not something that happens over a period of a few days. Remember Volkswagon last year or early this year? Front month crude earlier this year? 2. No ...

haha. Nice try Abigail. It was not IBFX's fault. The NFA just randomly fines brokers.

IBFX Fined By The NFA Today -- No Surprise

India. The highest tax rate there is 30%. Other than the police/fire protection, you don't get anything from the government, but everything is affordable. You don't have to worry about healthcare, education costs. Even if I needed brain surgery, I ...

The Business of Forex Trading

I know I know... I should've thought about this before coming over. Other than being a little pissed about the whole tax situation, I'm pretty happy with my decision. I got a good education, a good job, and a good "hobby" (trading). : )

The Business of Forex Trading

From what I remember, if your total income for a year exceeds $80,000, you have to pay taxes to the IRS, regardless of what your source of income was and where you lived, as long as you are a US citizen. And, if you decide to give up your US ...

The Business of Forex Trading

If you can find someone willing to sell you that much, sure you can do it. There may be banks/hedge funds/rich individuals willing to trade that with you. But if you just want to do it with a broker (Broker XYZ giving you access to ...

How are large trades filled?

Thanks for the reply. What is a shift, btw? Also, how do I make sure that the local history has all the prices that I need?

MQL4 help!

Hope you had a good weekend. Looks like you missed my post. Any ETA on the MBT Nav Wireless? The website says it's available, but customer service disagrees. Also, if you can give me an idea of what devices would be supported, I can start working on ...

Any ETA on MBT Nav Wireless? The website says its available... Your customer support says "no". Thanks!

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

sure, it might. I will be buying like crazy at 1.6200. Everythink looks bad for the cable, but do I care about that? No. What I want is to make a few pips, just like everyone else here.

Will GBPUSD be in down trend?

Fellow Traders: The reason I'm being so specific, is because I work in this industry, and I know how changing a word or two around to decieve your customer is pretty much a norm. Notice how Jason says "liquidity provider" instead of "one of our guys ...

Any brokers guaranteeing stop loss protection?

Any other affiliates of FXCM "providing liquidity" on the active trader platform? The way I understand this... The only people trading on the fxcm active trader platform are the 9 banks and active traders (none of who work with FXCM's money) that ...

Any brokers guaranteeing stop loss protection?

Could you provide us with a list of all your liquidity providers? Does that include your own trading desk?

Any brokers guaranteeing stop loss protection?

when liquidity goes up, volatility goes down and vice versa (there are some exceptions to this, like say...big news coming out etc. You can never be 100% sure.) As a beginner, you odn't need to know much more than that... When you're trying to ...

Liquidity in the forex market

FXMS was a great idea. OTC, cleared by CME. Back then, no one gave much thought to counterparty risk, and hence it failed. It isn't really a big risk, EXCEPT when there is a huge crash....

Someone needs to build a pure, transparent ECN, no liquidity provider retail broker

"Hedging" is one of the worst strategies out there. It does not give you any edge, and only makes you money when the market is ranging. If you want to trade ranges, then do so, by opening buy OR sell positions, not both! If you're looking to ...

Yours opinion about hedging strategy

The extrinsic values of the options WILL be greater than the interest you can earn in the spot market! Sorry, no free lunch there, especially considering that volatility is through the roof now.
