Surely those long tails on the M30 and H1 charts must tell us something. It seems that it just cannot break away from R2 in any direction, it is so slow!

I admire him too. But he, like countless others, was asleep at the wheel. He held an executive position at BS prior to their collapse, so he failed in that role.

Which firm do you work for now? No wories if you don't want to say on a public forum, I understand. I had friends working for BS in London, on their derivatives sales desk. The firm I worked for always viewed BS as an over-aggressive competitor, a cheeky upstart, but still held a grudging respect for them. Oh, how times have changed....
were traders very successful at forex trading at the firm you were at? If they were successful, did you ever ask them why they continue to trade forex for the company instead of at home?--where they can potentially make a lot more money.

I'm just curious but you don't have to respond.

No, see my last post where I closed 3 of them in the last hour.

There's a difference between not setting a stop loss and not closing a losing trade.

Very tight range. Wait for P/A to break that range before you place an entry.

The FX desk was incredibly profitable, irrespective of where we were in the economic cycle. However, the bulk of the desk's profits were made from the bank's role of being a leading market-maker and interbank dealer, meaning huge volumes of business passed through the trading books each day, most of which were automatically processed, with every trade crossing the spread. Extra profits were derived from the diversity of positions coming through, in that large portions of long/shorts netted out, meaning there was no need to hedge a large residual position in the spot market.

The desk also made reasonable profits when trading against the bank's capital, although a fair portion of these gains were due to being further up the information chain than you or I. For example, they would be aware exactly where hedge funds or other institutional clients have large pending orders and also where significant option barriers are located. With this information to hand, it is very easy to jump on the back on a trade that, due to its size, you think will likely move the market strongly in a certain direction. They also benefited from having fully trained economists and quantitative analysts on hand, who would analyse the news immediately and assemble and test robust trading models.

By and large, the reason they choose not to trade for themselves is that it is believed to be too difficult a career, and they receive the security of a good salary and bonus working for the bank.
