Thanks for the info. I'll be following your thread to see if there's anything I might learn to add to my own trading. Take care.

Trading with Point and Figure

Virtually (if not entirely) all ECN clearing is anonmyous. How could you be blacklisted?

High Frequency Trading!

That is incredibly good to know Phil. Thanks much man. I figured it had to do something!

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I don't think I understand the value of PnF. It seems like less info than you'd get from a candle. What are the benefits of it over candles? edit: sry I see you did somewhat answer that question already.

Trading with Point and Figure

I suppose avoiding getting screwed by banks is always good to shoot for lol. Are you meaning something more specific?

High Frequency Trading!

I'm going to give this a bump. I'm interested to know if folks have any thoughts on HFT.

High Frequency Trading!

Hi Justin. Thank you for your detailed response. All-in-all I think my question is answered, at least to the extent of how I need to set up my automation, for my purposes. It's still not totally clear to me what you gain or lose in terms of ...

Zen, there is a Yahoo group "mbtsdk" you can join. Regards.

This is a good write-up Justin, thanks. I have two questions in line below. I would like a little more information on this part Justin. Since the only route for FX trading is TDFX, I guess I'm a little concerned that the system would hold an order ...

Hi Justin. I'm still looking for details on my above question. Thank you.

I don't have any problem scalping at MBT/EFX, I've beeing doing it quite well. I do have a big problem with the fact they seem pleased with themvelsves for not being able to survive a black-out. Weak.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

This is an excellent thread. I'm not sure I can add anything practically beyond the much great advice already given, except to say more pointedly: beware of "experts". I'm not sure there's ever been a line of business (or walk of life) with as many ...

Successful Trading & Determining the Probability of a Trading System

Perhaps they assume that the USD will rebound, which is reasonable. Perhaps they are total crooks and want foolish investors to prop up their bad investments. Hard to say lol. If China starts dumping the trillions in USD reserves it has... not a ...

FED cuts 75 just now!!!

I keep hearing "Australia is less affected by a U.S. recession". Let's see what happens when carry traders (the BIG ones, banks) with the USD now squeezing their carry margins. Gotta pay the money market guaranteed return checking accounts some how, ...

Awwww.... no "dead pool" list? Maybe starting in Feb? ;-) heh heh

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

I still don't get how the big trading firms are not in this game yet. I guess you could say Knight (HS) is a big player. But yo, I used to work for a big U.S. trading firm, and they would sneeze at a *trade error* the size of some of these FX firms ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

It seems Eurozone governments (France for sure) aren't thrilled about the strong Euro. I'm not sure how many people realize that a weak USD is not necessarily bad at all for the U.S. U.S. exports are more competitive (read: cheaper), and really only ...

FED cuts 75 just now!!!

lol 15:1 is too high for my taste

FED cuts 75 just now!!!

Even if you don't trade news, you need a good way to be aware of it (and no I don't work for TTN, I'm just a fanboy, heh).

FED cuts 75 just now!!!

You would think, but it blasted up 50 pips on the news. Almost back to where it started now though. My concern in this environment is that banks pull their liquidity. The market was utterly silent for a while after the big move. That is very ...
