OMG , 90% of cap.
if cap then stop
no way back
the line is 50% of cap and finished.
If 90% of cap then you need postpone your trading until you can fund a new book.

In your experience FTI what is happening on market makers desks during such periods of stagnation? are players building positions, liquidating or just waiting and seeing? and what kind of activity brings price back into motion?

Thanks.

Mostly nothing.
when the 13060 displayed resilence, all just goes to scalping the small pips for a living. the event is over until next bulidup.

Now all sorting out who takes the losses and whohas resources to extend and link another battle.

Next battle is probably in tokyo, If the players show.

hmm. I see. What was the largest possible size of trade your dealing desk could make on a daylight basis?
I'm very curious as to how those guys operate, and you're the only who has any idea what they do. Cheers.

Just curious. So it seems that for the most part the MMs were into earning the spread on many 10M tickets rather than large directional bets... It figures. 5B is insane by the way. but of course, what do central banks care about tax payer money they're flushing into slippage infested trades.

there are many desks at treasury.
Spot & Money is frontline.
then there is strategic arbitrage desks, synthetic desks, customer desks, Technical Analyst desk, The econ desks and other specialist groups.
All have different MOs and functions.

FTI do you think US debt will also need to go equal to Japan's GDP debt ratio of 250% before it starts crumbling? Or sooner? I'm surprised Japan is considered creditworthy... Their credit default swaps are still not as expensive as i thought.

I don't really think the US economy will crumble. But because of US dilution policies and extended over spending, she is leaning heavily on the goodwill of a country that just recent times had come out of her closed door policies. Prolong reliance on this will put the US in very weak position , as many countries economies are sub sets of the us prosperity, there will be ripple effects.

Japan is another story. She has barely cleared herself from the impact of the last estates bubble. So would fare much better without the fiascos from the us bubble woos.

I speculate that the situation will eventually balance out over the long run. But if the us does not do enough to right some stuctural and policies, will come out of this weak. This is not to the free world's advantage as she is the backbone economy thus far.

In so far as the debt to GDP ratios, the figs can be massaged and not being an economist, I pay little heed to the real impact this may have on the system. In fact we had already seen a rescue from meltdown, we know what the short impact is like, but long term much will change as the world soughts a remedy.

regards

PS: of course Japan is still credit worthy. Even a bankrupt can still be credit worthy, if he/she had a guarantor to facilitate credit. And Japan is far from that. In fact her productivity is, i believe, the highest in the world. Any one would support with credit help to such charisma.

yeap, the dangers of adventurous top picking.
euro is distributing firmly now, and the big wave had been defrayed again.
So we need re-access the situation and need eyeball more clues of her possibilities.
one thing we now know is there seems a big Rock at 13060.
Gotta send some probes there to figure out if its truely rock solid.
Back to the drawing board.

Tokyo will be in soon, we will try find out.
