It's interesting. I've done a lot of business with LMAX over the years. They are an exchange, a venue connecting to top tier 1 banks as well as other brokers/funds. The problem is the fact that they offer STP access to tier1 liquidity, does not ...

I've seen equity curves like this before. Grid closing oldest debt first, carry current debt and close on retraces. Maybe.

A quick and dirty way is drag them onto your chart from the "Account History" tab. You could also do it in an EA using code (if that's what you are doing) or get an indicator as someone pointed out.

Companies have access to futures market. No swaps involved. They just roll over using a calendar spread at maturity.

It doesn't really matter. I've been trading ARB for years institutionally and I haven't done yet what is described above. It's too much hassle. Retail stat ARB is a thing of the past now that exchanges and brokers tech has caught up. Good luck to ...

A small X-Mas present; concept for leveraged ETF Arbitrage

Isn't this similar to a carry type trade, your yield is your swap? Find a broker who pays good positive swap on EURUSD shorts and say EURCHF longs and then a zero or very low swap broker on USDCHF shorts? Set the right lot sizes to be fully hedged ...

A small X-Mas present; concept for leveraged ETF Arbitrage

Short EURUSD and long EURCHF since 18th December, swap positive, adds every 1% on differential. Hope EURUSD keeps going up for the adds, matters not to me as getting paid every day in swaps and making on USDCHF sells. USDCHF is zero swap for me I ...

My EU/UC grid set up as far as 1160 short EU and down to 9800 long UChf. If they make it that far then will re-assess for a flip. Will also be hedging the opposite way as well to be banking to cover costs and provide a further hedge. Won't be ...

My broker's a bit out with that. Lowest quote is 1.10688. Usual messing I guess. image

Too early for me to punt on EURUSD. Don't think it's going to collapse just here, would like to see a spike up for a decent entry short. Otherwise I'm sidelined. Nothing on AUDCAD vs EURAUD, nor USDJPY vs GOLD. Could be wrong of course and may miss ...

Better entries this time. Against trend but at an extreme. image

hahaha you are right of course. Things do change. It did for me. So how can I disagree with you? I can't.

I have written sure thing and run it for some years. I am (was) a programmer. It involved capturing the negative alpha from a trade set. I can tell you precisely what to do, but you need to be a bank with leased lines not SIP for it to work now. You ...

I appreciate the insight for sure. I'm from the algorithmic world where the emphasis was betting on a sure thing (e.g co-integration of an index future to its cash counter-part). This didn't involve MA's or pivots or any indicators. So alot of ...

Good information thanks. I do something with 200 SMA at the moment, but it's statistical along with alot of other stuff relating to co-integration and the like. It doesn't really fit with standard charting at all but came here to learn and fall on ...

I'm not at a level where I understand the mechanics of what you are saying. Still reading alot of older posts to learn more about charting as it's not something I usually depend on. Thank you for the insight I'll look into it more.

Not averse to the idea of flipping against strong momentum.... but with swap on side, no panic. Not a great swap pair though these two
