Don't be silly. Whether trades are executed directly by traders or by programs the programs are coded by humans and receive inputs from humans. I very much doubt they (the banks) have programs that are written by computers, and thenceforth managed by computers, and never touched by humans.
I have no clue what I'm talking about.

Dude... I worked on a desk. The banks don't have nearly the advantage that half the people here complain about. Yes there is the ongoing investigation at the moment into the 11am fix, which I can admit I did see manipulation in that context. However in the day to day, the only info the banks have is the order flow and their order book. Even these advantages are negligible.

Also the 'smart clients' dont trade via human traders is my point. Its all through etrading platforms. The banks see these flows after the fact, but so do you becuase prices moves upon sellers hitting bids in the market.

Here's a video of how a bank works in forex. All your retail gambles go to their algo. The algo trades range (presumably going from 1 stop to the next). Only when someone in the bank decides a direction for the next move would the price start going in a particular direction. Put it simply, they can move the price to wherever they want, and there no reason to believe they respect the lines you draw on your chart. But it should reasonable to assume they would move the price to wherever there is a profit for them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyFVOFbhFws...
Deutsche Bank has the biggest share at 15% in the FX market. How can Deutsche coordinate with all other banks to move the market?
CITI has 12% (that saw 2012 number. 2013 is 15%). what if Deutsche wants to sell but CITI wants to buy?

Yes, all retail gambles go to the algo, and the algo go up and down in a range. I suppose you would say the algo only hits the stops by accident.

The traders have bloomberg chats and they exchange info on where stops are and what the order flow looks like. Its quite simple once you realize that for example during the NY session, 40%+ of the flow is going thru Deutch, Citi and maybe UBS. Thats three guys in one chat that all trade the EURUSD for their own banks and exchange information.

Retail forex accounts for 10% of all forex. If your figure is correct, then deutsche has more than cornered the market.

Retail flow is ultimately sent by your broker to a large banks etrading platform. Only banks can deal in the interbank market.

Wiki lol, thats not a source. Anyway, those are what numbers?
Definitely not market share. Do you even know what are you looking at?

edit: Btw, before you start blathering nonscence again, perhaps these numbers show Deutsche bank is Clearing bank for many European banks and brokers, therefore volume?
edit: The only obvious thing here Joe, is that you really piss me of with these views. Yea, they havent decided, so they put algo on to hunt your pennies. Stop beeing childish, this is no playground.

Yes etrading, algo, whatever is the same electronic order handling thing. Their algo takes your bets and move in a range. Naturally, the algo hits stops and no doubt it's just an accident.

Today's range play in eur is obviously an algo thing. The bank hasn't decided yet if the price should go up or down. Maybe they will decide tomorrow.

Whatever. Do you know what means clearing bank, dont you? Thats the only way how Deutsche bank could have such a share. Definitely does not have enough assets to make 15% volume in FX.
Told ya I dont consider wiki reliable source. Anyone can write there. Thats trash, not economy. And you tell me "look, it says top 10 traders!" And I tell you, FO, welcome back to iggy list .

My source is brain telling me its 4Tril Daily turnover market and no way 15% of this cash comes from Deutsche bank. They would be dominating world.

You even do not know what my point was when I quoted that number. I quoted that number to discount the bank conspiracy theory. My point was that even at 15% market share that is not enough to move the market.
