damn... you make me blush by talking dirty that way.
Universally...simplicity plays the strings of the heart.

Happy to simplify, Mr. H.

This memo was issued at the same time as your post...



Boys have a penis...and girls have a vagina. All square here.

Hope I'm not coming off like a creep!? Just with the "P" in my Rolodex (self) clearing out (Piters & PK)...we have room...and loyalty should be rewarded.

Hutch...nobody messes with my memories of your moobs. Please...no jilt.
its not a tuma!

Kenybaby, I take it you're still holding EA shorts? Thoughts?

I'm looking over more charts.... we haven't traded above the 4h 50EMA since June 4th! Does anyone really think this is the time?

Gator == Male model
Sisse == Sissy Fundamental Machine
fxjawn == fx paying tramp!
kill56 == should be upgraded to kill96lbsofweedoo at this point!
Mr Hatch == something that rhymes with melissa...and snatch!
kenfen69 == ? ? ? Trailer-trash...to be sure!

Not the pin-ups julia would be looking for, me thinks.

Convincing close above the H1 200ema (blue)...I'm out. Will leave me about +175 off my top one...plus swaps.

H1 200 still falling...barely. At the 50 now. Ping-pong between the two may happen...then decision time.


EDIT: sorry...wrong "short-term" chart was briefly attached. Rectified now.

I believe I have October open. Would that suit you, Sir?

This is by no means a "fill in the blanks" situation...and I want you to feel special. If October doesn't work...I'm sure I can juggle (balls [mo]) the situation to find a happy ending.

WTF!!!

------------------------------------------------

The Decision, issued by NFA's Business Conduct Committee, found Alpari violated several NFA requirements, [b]including improperly cancelling forex trades and removing profits from customer accounts, failing to timely report trade data and other required information to NFA, failing to observe high standards of commercial honor, failing to comply with NFA's Enhanced Supervisory Requirements and failing to keep...
that's a shocking find. and here is another one from alpari UK customer agreement- that is in stark contrast to the claim on their webiste that accounts are fully segregated:

'6.1. Relevant Amounts held on the Trading Account (“Segregated Funds”) will be segregated by the Company and held in accordance with FSA client money rules..

6.4. Unless the Customer has notified the Company in writing to the contrary, the Company may hold Segregated Funds on the Customer’s behalf in a Segregated Account located outside the United Kingdom or pass money held on the Customer’s behalf to an intermediate broker, settlement agent or OTC counterparty located outside the United

Kingdom. The legal and regulatory regime applying to any such person will be different from that of the United Kingdom and in the event of the insolvency or any other equivalent failure of that person, the Customer’s money may be treated differently from the treatment which would apply if the money was held in a Segregated Account in the United Kingdom. The Company will not be liable for the solvency, acts or omissions of any third party referred to in this clause.'
brrr now that makes sense, not.

these clauses have been removed in the current version- I guess they were even more revealing and chilling:

Insolvency
'2.13. The Company’s insolvency or default, may lead to positions being liquidated or closed out without your consent. In certain circumstances, you may not get back the actual assets which you lodged as collateral and you may have to accept any available payments in cash.

2.14. Segregated Funds will be subject to the protections conferred by the FSA's Client Money Rules.

2.15. Non-segregated Funds will not be subject to the protections conferred by the FSA's Client Money Rules. Non-segregated Funds will not be segregated from the Company’s money and will be used in the course of the Company’s business, and in the event of the Company’s insolvency you will rank as a general creditor.'

so what is left...
- some funds are not segregated hence not protected

- other funds are segregated but may be (i'dguess the chances of that being near 100%) out of country and with third party hence the liability is not with Alpari. it would not surprise if there was no effective protection for those. Plus the money is held somewhere undisclosed, how would one assess the risk of that.
