Sorry I somehow missed your post here. I know that fed funds rates arent exact but I thought it would be close enough to the interbank rates. I read the article and I think I understand it, so it seems like this is what is happening... My "spot" ...

thanks fxwise, I was wondering if anyone could expand on this some more. I am not sure what else there is to say, but I would like all the info I can get. How are brokers allowed to do that by making virtual trades only? Wouldn't that just make them ...

bump, anyone???

Thanks for the article, but I don't think this really answers what is puzzling me. If im not mistaken, this is just explaining the contango in the currency forward or "futures" markets. The same way that commodity futures contracts are generally ...

Thanks for the reply, I get the basic mechanics of the carry trade and I have no issue with calculating what it is. But what I am asking is what mechanism within the realm of interest rates lets me pocket the money. After all I am not buying a bond ...

Im in this one too. I took some off and am letting the rest run

Wondering if anyone is in on USD/SEK, Im short from the daily chart... This is also my first live trade after demo trading for what seemed like forever...Hope it goes well.

BOOOOOM. Thanks EURUSD I love high time frame charts, especially monthly

Tried actually reading my post yet? keywords "presently," "still there," "why have MM on floor when trades going through electronically" I am asking why there are still people on the floor, not what a specialist does, and you quoted me an article ...

I've been in this one for a while too, but I'm holding onto it

That one is also at a massive resistance area that goes back to '09 on the weekly. It might be a good area, but wait for something to happen.

I almost took this trade off of the daily chart, If you switch to d1 youll see a nice baby pin that formed, but it was in a really nice location which happened to bounce right off the price box I had already drawn. I would have been 100 pips up ...

Just rumors and absolute crap, many many problems with gold. If it is gold and paper, it will be fractional reserve banking just like now, and worse yet, the government will hold all this mysterious gold If it is gold and paper at the same time then ...

I think its important to note that CFD's are not available in the US so if you use a US broker and you trade futures, everything will have to go through the exchange by law

I'm talking about the big bullish bar. I know it doesn't stand up to the exact technical definition of an outside bar, but the theory is the same. Outside bar = range expansion from the previous bars with a close that leads out in a definitive ...
