I can;t quite understnad how ppl can take any principle from equities and apply it directly to forex. In fx you are trading one ccy against another ... unless one ccy tends to move significantly and consistnetly more than another ccy there is no ...

intraday charts

If you're not trading in the minute before and after major scheduled news I woudl recommend an ecn over any retail broker or fx futures

Broker Recommendation PLEASE!

futures would indicata otherwise but your opinion is your own and how traders make money ... i.e. by having an differnet but correct opinion to the market and watchign the market have to correct itself at a later point

how to get the FOMC statement right away...

therein lies your problem. I give these autoclick ppl another few months before they shut up shop. Of course there will be those that will stick with them and give back all the profits they've gained so far but the smart ones will realise that it's ...

Broker Recommendation PLEASE!

the market needs ppl to take advantage of any arb opportunity that arises. This helps keep the market inline and accurately priced

Profiting from Broker Quotes

apologies, I misread your post. Not to nitpick but a short straddle doesnt mean anything. I think you meant to say short leg of the straddle.

NFP news not as relevant?

the move down was nothing to do with 'straddlers'. A certain newsource printed a headline figure of 188 instead of 88 and a model sold 6k eurodollar Dec 07s all the way down to 81.5 bringing everytihng else on the yield curve along with it.

NFP news not as relevant?

you will need a book specific to bond futures, noone 'trades' the cash bond mkt. No disrespect meant as a forum is great for doing a bit of q&a but you should have a look into these things for yourself. Ask yourself how one might find out what ...

Futures vs Forex. Who is more liquid

if yuo're looking to trade after the initial move thne futures is def a more level playing field. Only in extreme cases does an exchange pull a contract (gret arb opps when they are brought back online however). However, the larger more liquid ...

Futures vs Forex. Who is more liquid

this does not provide any insight as to what the depth of market was, only the volume traded which for the purposes of determining which is more liquid is almost irrelevant. Seeing as I think most ppl here dont really understand what it means when ...

Futures vs Forex. Who is more liquid

even the futures market dries up around important data. For those who wish to prove me wrong and provide data that shows otherwise please do so. I can guarantee that even the most liquid futures e.g. bund, ust, ir futures or otherwise which usually ...

Futures vs Forex. Who is more liquid

I have to comment about the liquidity. Whilst daily volume does provide some insight to the general liquidity of a contract in my view it's as incomplete as saiyng liquidity is tight cos the spread is always 1 tick. Ineed the spread is usually 1-2 ...

MarketMakers

this was not actually a bad quote technically speaking. A guy on the bnp spot desk typed in 1.9922 instead of 1.9992. Any subsequent volatility was the rest of the mkt reacting to the off-market offer

Another F up from FXDD

making money from trading is all about volatility. If there is no volatiliy in the markets then there is no decent money to be made. Trading news is a very dangerous game unless you know exactly what you're doing and I woudl advise most ppl to stay ...

Let's Trade The News V 0.4 !

of course ir futures contracts are have plenty of depth but most of the ppl here will will have no idea which month to trade or how to trade it, and my comment on liquidity was concerning fx futures. In addition, you're asking retail fx traders to ...

Let's Trade The News V 0.4 !

I dont really want to start the whole futures over spot arugment but with ecn's like currenex, I really do not see the point of trading in the fx futures mkt unless you're arbing. Eurofx is really the only one with enough liquidity to be worthwhile ...

Let's Trade The News V 0.4 !

I hope you understand what the eurodollar contract is. IT has nothing to do with fx

Let's Trade The News V 0.4 !

I'm sorry but I just had to comment on this. Even with top tier currenex access you're not going to have access to a yard within 5 pips even on eur$. And when a figure is anticipated you're going to see that shrink to about a fifth of the normal ...
