Welcome home
Copper!
(a) Thanks. (b) Copper was the clunker today. Everything else could make or exceed its earlier highs. Not HG. Tried again tonight, but not quite. It's a different meme though. I've read a couple times that "copper has a PhD." I have no fecking idea what that means.

But now that the Chairman has indicated that he understands the politics of the situation, the next political hayfield concerns our communo-fascist ally on the other side of the globe. "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble", or something like that

No, but week ago Sunday, an Oanda account to arb against that other one (which was it?) that was showing like 200 lower would have been a story for the grandkids.

I really used to be an avid defender of Oanda as a broker, but they really pissed me off.
Actually, you hear a lot about requotes and all the shit brokers do to you to rob you, Oanda does other things... Friday is NFP, please tell me, if your able to trade or whether you get disconnected before and are only able to reconnect after the fact.

I haven't got any problems where I am now.

Which is one big reason to get a br0ker whose bid/ask come with size and a "can auto-execute" flag. If it's set True, and the size is there, you bot/sld it. No question.

okay, maybe i'm with the better of a bad bunch then, they're only occasional, but like i said i never used to get them, spreads are damn good tho' 1 to 2 on e/u all the time pretty much, except sunday opening hour or two and last 5 mins on a friday...

my biggest bug bear is that sometimes i hit the button and nothing happens, so you have to hit it two or three times, and that second or two can be pretty important if you're scalping... that and once your entry ticket is filled, it can delay opening the closing ticket for a few seconds, not all the time, but sometimes and the point is that it never used to happen, in fact i've got two accounts with them, will have to test the old one..

I haven't traded NFP in over a year...I think I only bothered even waking up for it once in that year, and still wasn't tempted to take a trade. Could care less if they pull that kinda shit...

End of trades this week, Friday Aussie/Chino...once the price goes flat, I am done for the week...

Why are you out in Z? Is it QC or HG? Is the liquidity better than in X?

(Z = Dec., X = Nov.)

So, you're completely skipping LO and NY on Fridays?

Until fall of 2010 you could scalp the shit out of the NFP-moves to and fro...
