I think FCA is up to 85k? but I was referring to position sizes, i.e you might be running a book exposure of 500,000$ with that 50k deposited, and they will have no issues with that as they are likely ECN/STP This being said, why with the hate for ...

Presuming you're not stupid, you'll be running a NOP/exposure of ~200-500k, from my experience LCG is a good partner to deal with, however there has been a lot of reshuffling there in recent months and they're restructuring their company so avoid ...

at such short tenors 6 month is just 0.5 of 1y fwd points as there is no curve in rates really... the price source is bbg's composite feed

DXY techs... says it all... macro still with higher, but lots of res

Just buy a 1y fwd at 27 pip below spot? 1.1990 Or maybe options space? Long 1y Risk reversal? payoff profile is attractive to me

EURUSD techs... RSI/stochs rising, bullish engulfing and off large multi year trendline.

Yellow line is the difference in volatility between 25 delta calls and puts.. used as a positioning indicator, i.e. when it goes lower people are shorting via optinos markets.. and there is a divergence

very unlikely to shock... hence very little volatility... tho there is always some risk with these things we have however seen some action in jpy riskies, dropping far more than spot so far... interesting divergence

GBPUSD techs, weekly looks bullish with engulfing against support areas.. stochastics crossing too

EURUSD vs Terms of trade... fundamentals at its core.

crazy short term vol... up 0.5% in 2 mins after dropping 2% in 30 mins.. who is long gamma out there lol?

arguably... the drop has been priced in to rates markets (as per my analysis) as such *if* they dont (which is possible) then the USD will weaken a fair chunk... OTOH if they do drop it, assuming its priced into rates, the USD wouldnt rally *much*

Fed seen as likely to drop considerable time next week - as per most banks... impact likely seen on short end us rates, we got 2 yr swaps dropping today (5bps) and 1y1y bigger picture heading back towards 100bps... risk of deeper USD pullback.

EURUSD breaking higher, out of daily wedge. Stochastics turning upwards and relative to rates seems possible upside on further oil weakness

Oil prices much much weaker, just trading with a 57 handle... US 10 years breaking lower... equities weak... HY weak... getting fun hey?

Summary from BNP Paribas Long GBPCHF and short EURNOK should gain traction this week Activity data from the eurozone continues to print on the soft-side of expectations with German factory orders declining 5.7% in August (-2.5% expected) and the ...

he *really* shouldn't have IB open if he's taking a photo... everyone knows that!

I'm not gone, mkts got a little bit busier the last few weeks. A strong negative correlation between posts from me and volatility in the markets

if you're interested in it, here url Edit - I don't work at barclays.

as someone who writes these as my job I explain as clearly as I can. In today's market, no client trades with one bank. Hence a trade reco adds zero value to a bank (kinda). Lets say I put out a reco on a 3m EURCHF DNT, a HF client might really like ...
