To wit: I notice the markets rising, contrary to my expectations. That is quite feasable, The market in it's wisdom often does not agree with me.

However, I also notice surprisingly small weekend spreads. I keep a screen print record of the information, quotes and spreads for all my accounts, on a continual basis. I also maintain responsible margin levels to protect my accounts in case of market moving events.

Yes, have an ecn but no data feed at the moment from it.

The rates are current realtime interbank spot rates.

Some thoughts from Kitco:

"The US government hands banks’ almost free credit and then pays them the interest using the same funds. These banks are free to run recklessly with ironclad returns, not lend or be real bankers and, skim the bonus cream while backstop funding taxpayers are screwed three different ways. We have never seen such open animosity within the U.S. congress and our two major political parties. They are openly fighting, lying, and deceiving. They are issuing false statements and attacks upon each other to the extent the people’s...
i kinda agree about the bankrupt part. except u.s. cant go bankrupt since its not allowed under u.s. legal system. it didnt happen this week or last year with the melt down. it happend long before and the fed knew it pryer to late 2007. and unless bubble pops in china and commodities those currencies will do good. europe/england/ japan on the other hand are in a different boat. not only do they have the china bubble commodity bubble to worry about. they dont have commoditys.. (excluding GB north seas oil). and even without a pop they are losing market share. no commoditys and loss of manufacturing market share is not a rosy picture. we still have to see if china will raise peg to usd, like talked about.

the u.s. is the customer without a job we buy less so ez sells less. its not that the u.s. is in good shape.. its a dog contest and the best in breed wins.. for a little while.. today aud is doing good.. so euro will more then likely get stronger st

That is because most of you participitiants have accounts with pure online brokers - like alpari - fxcm - and odl - saxo and what ever ...


they do not have a real INTERBANK FEED and they mostly open a bit later...

thats too expensive for them to give you the full price feed...

You can have this only with a real MARKET MAKER - like UBS or PARISBAS BANK for example - or with SOCO FINANCE - MAN FINANCIAL - HSBC - Mitsubishi Tokyo Bank - etcetera ...

Check with your broker. Weekends for some brokers are the same as saying we are closed and the prices mean nothing.

Take care

Big account?

You can open an ecn account with 400$, MT4 platform, leverage 1:100, minimal spread, micro, mini and standard lot size, your orders go direct to the market, no tradedesk that is trading against you. Check MB Trading.

I consider them as the best deal around for retail fx traders.

I'd be very interested in why you think borkers (either yours or anybody elses...) have the ability to delete posts on Forex Factory.

Seriously, that sounds a little silly to me.

Convince me otherwise.

commodity bubble to worry about.
What commodity bubble you are talking about? 80$ OIL looks cheap

compare to $140. Other commodities are at lower band / just slightly up.

Nat Gas just few month ago was trading below $3. I won't take arguments

about GOLD cause it's not a commodity.. Add to that current Global

Warming BS world-wide hysteria.. Looks like we have to talk about Global

Freezing by now.. Green P - bunch of crackhead pigs.!
