None, and thats the point. Retail brokers lack the capital to run an effective stop hunting campaign, so the only option they have for doing so is to push arbitrary prices. Give me a broker that is pushing arbitrary prices and I'll crush them in ...

Stop Hunting

If you have a broker that is hunting your stops please let me know who they are. Bankrupting a broker in an afternoon sounds like fun...

Stop Hunting

Any ECN will work for you. MB Trading comes to mind as a good one. Then again if you can put 50 large together, you should go on currenex...

I need a broker who likes scalping!

You can't.

Currenex and MT4?

Maybe, but information comes out prior to price ever approaching the strike and then price action confirms it's existance. I have seen so many stop runs and option barrier defense plays, that I can't help but disagree with you. Unfortunatly I don't ...

While it may not have been in YOUR best interest to share your positions and options, it certainly was in your counterparties. For example, I sell you a DNT with an $Xmil payout. Then I tell everyone that it exists so they can help me blow out your ...

The service is called ifr-forexwatch provided by Thompson Financial. You can sign up at ifr-markets.com for $275/mo or use the lite version for free with the FXCM news plugin. And this is a pretty acurate assessment...

Yes. And no I won't teach you how to do it.

This is ofcourse all perfectly accurate, but it doesn't alter the point I was making. Quotes on institutional currenex networks are provided by banks. Most of the banks operate on multiple networks and are feeding the same prices to each prime ...

Do broker's give direct Interbank quotes? As in total transparency?

In comparing Oanda with Currenex, I have found that asside from the spread, they are spot on. I'm not sure how Currenex compares to EBS or Reuters, but my guess is that it's identical or it would make for some sweet arb opportunities. So in short, ...

Do broker's give direct Interbank quotes? As in total transparency?

It makes me giddy every time I hear someone say something like this.

Predictions on the JPY news today?

On days like this, there really isn't a "most important" release. You have to take them all into account to glean the directional bias...

Predictions on the JPY news today?

How does one account for commission costs? In retail it's baked into the spread but on Currenex it is a whole seperate expense. Can those costs be deducted for a personal trader or will it be necessary to move to a trading entity?

OMFG!!! Spectre your a genious! Please please tell me how you KNEW the BOJ was going to deploy it's Trillion dollars in forex manipulation reserves to move the price 3 pips??? I simply must know!

Big deal, Bush was supposed to have reformed the tax system, saved medicare and social security, and captured bin Laden already. Campaign promises don't mean a hill of beans in the real world. And even if they wanted to spin off Kampo or open it up ...

Not sure what a 2005 trade relations report has to do with the yen being defended ahead of 116 on September 26, 06. I don't dispute that they do it, what I'm telling you is that they aren't doing it at the moment.

BOJ afoot

I'm sure the option defenses and the flows from that massive investment trust have nothing to do with it... FYI, Kampo was on the bid last night around 117. No sign of them since. I wouldn't put too much faith in a "BOJ inspired" turnaround from ...
