I don't think FX has to be exchange traded to keep detailed books. I'm not understanding why you see the two as being tied. I've not yet been ripped off by any broker, but I think you trust random people with money a lot more than I do. Even the ...

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to comment yet due to new-people rules (if not please delete), but I love TTN and I've been using them for some time now. The service is effective, and I like the guys on the news desk. Try the free trial and see if you ...

I'm doing fine trading, so you don't have to worry about my comfort. ;-) As for the market being OTC, that doesn't have to change at all if recordkeeping requirements are kicked up a notch. I don't think of myself as an expert in all the ...

I know they said that there was no way it would be Java. Whew!

I started looking into GMMA when I saw a variaion of it elsewhere. They aren't very helpful over there, and instead seem to be trying to play a "secret ninja master" game with anyone who asks for info lol. Daryl Guppy on the other hand gives 6 ...

Excel — I've made a spreadsheet for calculating comish and whatnot, but I have to manually update the current prices for it to be accurate. Is there a way to pull current prices into Excel? Via a macro or sumthin? Thank you.

Is IB an ECN? I notice they say they have 2 platforms, 1 for converting ccy, the other for trading it. The other ECN I was watching was HS but just retail, not institutional. $Y is still 2 pip spread right now. I think I'm going to call it a week ...

Spreads trashed even on ECNs, data feed also wrecked

So the story continues... eSignal continuing to give me a story about engineers working on servers, with no ETA (though it has been 12 hours). Called the broker and they say no probs on their end. I said I wanted to speak to a supervisor, and was ...

Spreads trashed even on ECNs, data feed also wrecked

Well it lasted for what seemed like an eternity after the retail sales news. When I placed my order, the spread corrected immediately and a large down-candle was drawn. It seems like my order might have corrected the gap somehow..... very strange. ...

Bid higher than ask!

I'm not allowed to say since I'm nooberiffic. But let me ask you, have you been able to flip lots? Buy on the low ask, and then flip it to sell on the higher bid? Or vice versa?

Bid higher than ask!

Hi there — Hello. I'm just reading this thread, and the mantra pfd from early on was very helpful. It would seem they were spying on my trading lol. Some things I'm seeing said are things I've observed also, with lots of screen time (as has ...
