Ummm... not to rain on your theory, but stocks are being buoyed by the prospect for lower US interest rates. The lower interest rates (relative to what can be had in other countries) in turn are what’s causing the dollar to fall (among many other ...

FED interest rate historical data

Long story short, it's charged by your counterparty. In a bucketshop that is your broker, on the interbank it's the guy on the other side of your trade. Basically it exists because money has a time value associated with it. Its easier to think of in ...

Question about swaps...

Personally I would reco a triangular group of pairs. Something like eur/usd, usd/jpy, and eur/jpy. You can learn a ton of stuff just trying to figure out how they relate to each other.

as a new trader.........

I think we can attribute the move to the 22.5% upward revision in the previous months numbers. Thats a pretty big jump.

Existing Home Sales, and the effect on USD?

Buch of bad info in this thread. Let me break it down for you. Brokers don't hunt "your" stops. Contrary to popular belief, your just not that important. What they hunt are "concentrations" of stops. Say you have a nice clean up trendline. Technical ...

How does your broker make money from you?

Lol. My advice; don't trade real money and forget about the signal services. Spend the next 6 months reading this forum and the many good books recommended by its members. In 6 months you'll understand why nobody bothered to reply to your questions.

Man his book is beautiful. I just started it but I'm loving every chapter. He really takes you on the inside of a fed chairmans world. Anyone who hasn't picked it up yet should kick themselves in the shin.

Liquidity - Question on trading BIG lots

That book and a long time sitting and thinking alone are all you'll need. And it's ok about your wife. When she gets done showing off all the jewelery you bought her from Tiffanys, she'll be building a little shrine to us in your closet.

The How's & Why's of price

Trader's title

Ummm.. dude, the -0.5000 rate is a CHARGE of 0.5% for buying CNY. If you sell CNY on any market (assuming you could find one to trade on) their going to charge you the ~6% and then you’re going to pay another 0.5% on top of that to Oanda. For the ...

Is this CNY futures hedge trading strategy possible?

Pretty cool, but you would think if someone went through the trouble to make it they could have at least proofed the graphics. Anyone paying attention would notice the 500 and 700 quantities are reversed...

I'm not bothering to read the rest of this thread because my point can be made right here. Pips mean nothing regarding profitability or competency as a trader because most traders have variable stop loss sizes. If your first trade has a 20 pip stop, ...

:: Pips are not what counts ::

This is exactly why I laugh at those people who claim in a $2tril market it doesn't matter who knows what your doing. Its a hell of a lot easierto move the market then people think.
