In the dawn of time (market modeling time, that is) this was called "weak form efficiency." For day trading, it means even if someone can extract enough signal to build a winning strategy, the signal is almost always so weak that the expected value ...

I have to go. Now I remember why I forced myself to withdraw from the FF habit. I just pissed away an hour since the markets closed, my sheep need water, and the sun is going down. Nice chatting. The Fool, I'll be back, though. Any threads with good ...

I'm quoting 2.99 bid 6.99 ask. Does this replace the old "rank" system? I don't even remember how it went, but I remember you had to have some level to post in Really Useless. All that rank bullshit is just that.

You as well. I'm still kickin, and still trading this lunacy. I got out of the habit of this site when Really Useless died. I came back today for obvious reasons. Back to topic, I hope what is done is to move to a mandated risk management based ...

Sure you can. What you find is that the retail fx "spread based" houses are virtually always outside the IB spread. That's by design, of course. If a spread house is quoting 9 - 11, and someone like IB is quoting 10 - 10.5, then the broker can take ...

Of course, the losses here (and they were in the banks and the hedge funds as well, which is evidence of my following comment) were not due to leverage per se; they were due to the interbank market freezing up for more than an hour. Most on line ...

This is off topic, but I havent been here in over a year, and I forget the local customs. My name down in "viewing" says "low impact member (top 6%)." Could somebody save me the headache of going through the help/search nightmare, and tell me what ...

I would recommend Interactive Brokers (IB). They offer full forex service, but it's not their main business. They are a commission house (commish on 100K EUR, eg., is around 2.50) but have generally very tight ECN spreads. As I write this, MBtrading ...

I knew that. I was replying to him too. Just so many folks thinking that the USA or the USD can't possibly survive for long. Probably it couldn't, except for two things: nobody can afford to collapse the world's shitpile of derivatives, and the USA ...

I've been good. Have to go now (conference call theoretically, 23 seconds ago), but I'm going to start lurking about in evenings (US Central). Hope to chat later.

Yeah, after PTL faded away, I didn't have anybody to talk about soybeans with, and you took a powder there for a while, too. Gator, you can always find him where ever the action is. You health good?

Hello, sir. WTF happened to Ken and Useless?

And as long as the dollar is backed by oil (don't think so, guys? Try and buy a tanker full of it anywhere in anything but USD) it ain't going nowhere fast.

Happy New Year, all. What's with this new software? 2012 was a decent year. Still trading EUR automated, which is good for a few ticks on balance. Most gratifying trade of the year, though: short APPL in October at 645, covered last week 512 when it ...

Picking up on the "MQL" reference, and searching the documentation, it would not be all that hard to do. "Bid" and "Ask" are predefined variables, and the user's components of an order are variables too, it seems; the system knows the time (I assume ...

I don't know MT4, but I assume that there is some API function call (or that the quasi C language they use permits a Windows kernal API call) that can affect Windows Messaging. If that's the case, then you can communicate live prices to another ...

Probably don't have to say it, but be careful with that chart short going into tomorrow in Europe. Regardless of what some believers may say, short term event risk is never in the chart until it happens.

Do bucket shops - I mean, brokers, really own this site as alleged in one of those tweets? If so, it would make some sense of a few things I couldn't understand, like the huge retail spreads shown on the market page (wouldn't want to confuse the ...

From an interview with Herr Weidmann. When the central banks of the euro zone purchase the sovereign bonds of individual countries, these bonds end up on the Eurosystem's balance sheet. Ultimately the taxpayers of all other countries have to take ...
