Great show, I just wish they would cover currencies.. I like to hear their broader market analysis, but tune out once they deal with individual companies. Kudlow's show is great too. He's steadily joined the ranks of Jim Rogers and Ron Paul on ...

OOOPS! Jim Kramer got this one wrong

It's an ongoing debate as to whether he was referring to the stock or referring to simply Bear's cash liquidity. Given the context of the show, it's a no brainer. Nobody calling into Jim's show is going to be a prime broker client concerned about ...

OOOPS! Jim Kramer got this one wrong

It made a great attempt at closing the weekend gap, but ultimately failed. Going to wait for another retest and look to enter short.

GBPCHF

You can see the counterparty exchange at Duka after a trade is completed. For my live trades, I've only seen Duka's ECN listed (SWFX). For demo trades, I've seen Goldman, Citi, HSFXI, Lava, CNX (only by throwing completely irrational 50-200mil ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Is it really MBT's call on announcing liquidity providers? Shouldn't this question be posed to 3DFOREX? I'm curious as to the relationship between MBT and 3DFOREX, does MBT's parent own both? If not, where are 3DFOREX's other brokerage partnerships? ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Any bottom feeders here in AJ? Off 4.6%, the hardest hit carry cross, at levels we haven't seen since the intraday August shock lows. If we close here, it'll be the lowest close since Oct '06.

To be fair, the spreads have been exceedingly wide across IB & Dukascopy tonight too, just as wide as MBT. I've never seen Oanda clean house with their spreads like this before. Oanda has had 4 on CAD/JPY and 8 on GBP/CHF all night, when these 3 ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Well it's been heading solidly up the past 90 minutes 250+ pips and counting. Anything is possible once London comes in.

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Off the wires: "FED Funds futures now show a 20% chance of the Fed cutting rates 125 basis points on Tuesday." 125 BP! How soon until USDJPY short becomes the new carry trade?

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

From ET, aussie futures fell 400! (erroneously it would appear..) "Futures went from 9180 to 8785 in a minute...." "They are busting all trades below 9036 in the futures"

Aussie Pairs

Well that was eerily well timed! Aussie nosedived 160 pips right after you posted that.

Yes, I think that Oanda pic and this pic from earlier are related. Pretty good contrary signals. Oanda traders have been overly net short JPY and CHF and overly long USD. I don't know how they even last a day..

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Oanda traders nearly 90% net long G/J the past 2 weeks! Where are these people? Who are these people? image

Those are the institutional rates. The regular rates are linked to in that page (or go to the link I posted above).

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

Those aren't the greatest, but they used to be a LOT worse. If you go back about 9 months on the EFX thread, you'll see I posted a similar screenshot. For some reason, back then NZD/JPY and a host of other carry pairs were negative swap on long ...

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

Well that's a fairly lopsided order book if I ever saw one... Who was crazy enough to go long over the weekend? image

Probably b/c Duka's reps earn a commission, either on the # of clients they bring in, and/or a cut of the commissions their signed-up clients generate (similar to their ib program). fwiw, about 9 months ago I signed up for a currenex demo at MF ...

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

Hotspot's rate is $3/100k notional, not $4. So for GBP pairs, this puts them ahead of Duka at ~$1.5/100k USD. I concur 100%. Supposedly, Duka will fill you on HotSpot FXi, Lava, or Currenex, if any one of those platforms happens to have a better ...

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

That's insane. Especially on a day like today, what with GBPJPY down over 450 pips at one point. I can't imagine my broker being offline for even a minute on a day like today.
