To whom it may concern !!
Interbank Spot Market
The spot market is the one in existence at the moment the spot market maker's quote is supplied. Settlement for the trade done is made within the following two business days. The quote (using the above example of USD/DEM = 1.7500 - 1.7507), as in the case of any bid-offer spread, consists of the prices at which the quoting market maker (the interbank currency dealer) will buy and sell one currency in exchange for the other. The first number in the quote, the bid side (or market maker's purchase price), is the quantity of DEM that the market maker will exchange (sell) for each USD he buys. In other words, the bid price represents the price at which the market maker will 'buy' USD, expressed in DEM and the price at which other market participants can sell USD. Conversely, the second number in the price quotation, the offer (or asking side or market maker's selling price), is the quantity of DEM that the market maker will exchange (buy) for each USD he sells. In other words, the offer price represents the price at which the market maker will sell USD, expressed in DEM, and the price at which other market participants can buy USD.
A market maker's price quote, be it over the phone or on a computer screen will remain unchanged for as long as the dealer feels comfortable with it. Sometimes in a quick market environment this period may only be a few seconds before being changed to a new price quote. The bid-offer quotes stated by market makers are constantly reviewed and updated as those market makers continually reassess their own currency positions and determine whether they wish to be 'better' buyers or sellers of a particular currency that they have the responsibility of quoting. A market maker is considered a "better" buyer of a currency when his bid for that currency is higher than the general market bid rate, and a "better" seller of a currency when his offer is lower than the general market offer rate. The resulting quote reflects the market maker's own attitude toward the market price's current and expected future performance.
The point difference between a bid and an offer is called the price spread and is a measure of the quote's quality. It is also an indication of the depth of the market liquidity for a currency. The narrower the spread, the better the quality and the greater the depth of the market for that currency. A wider spread indicates either greater uncertainty over market conditions or a lack of price liquidity. Wider spreads occur with unexpected news releases or prevail toward the end of market trading hours in a particular geographic area. The spread is analogous to the risk premium for quoting during both normal and volatile market conditions.
Interbank Forward Market
The forward market within the interbank market enables participants to establish at the time of the currency deal, a rate for the exchange of the currencies at some future business value date past the spot date (three business days and beyond). A forward rate is calculated by either adding or subtracting the forward "swap rate" to or from the spot rate for the two currencies being exchanged. Forward swap rates are based on the difference between the Euromarket interest rates for a particular future maturity date of the two currencies involved in the forward transaction. Forward swap rates are typically expressed in points, with one point usually equal to the price unit the currency is traded in (USD/DEM's trade unit is the fourth decimal point - 0.0001). For example, a forward swap rate of 0.0075 would be referred to as 75 points and may represent the interest rate differential between the USD and the DEM for a one-month maturity.
The forward swap points are either added to or subtracted from the spot rate when determining the forward price for the future date desired. To determine whether the forward swap rate is added or subtracted, it is first necessary to decide if one currency is trading at a premium or discount relative to the other in the forward market. This is arrived at by comparing the Euromarket interest rates of the two currencies being exchanged. If the one month Eurorate of one currency (e.g. DEM's Euromark rate) is lower than the Eurorate of the other (e.g. USD's Eurodollar rate) then the USD will be regarded as trading at a discount to the DEM given the European terms quotation method, and the resulting swap points will be subtracted from the USD/DEM spot rate to obtain the forward one month USD/DEM rate. If the one month Euromark rate is higher than the one month Eurodollar rate then the dollar will be trading at a premium and the subsequent swap points will be added to the USD/DEM spot rate to obtain the forward market one month USD/DEM currency dealing rate.

someone's talking to me abit.
makes lots sense.

You know my presentation had been over for long time already.
mostly much of the thread is rehashing the old stuff, trying help some nice new chaps who came on thread late.
also enjoying much music. But in a sort of way is also abusive because some the songs not english and without english subs.
and i seems even more cranky than ever before. lacking discipline.
So i thinking , maybe if we want listen nice songs, there other avenues on the internet.

So i like apologise to the ff managers, for the OT activities.
and very thankful for their tolerance thus far.

So guys, if any one have any suggestions, on where we can become radio heads, i am all ears.
As i am a little incapacitated. so don't look at me start any race.

If you chaps can start something, maybe i will tag along for as long as i can keep up.


If there any questions on trade matters can bring up at other places and if useful to help others can be reposted here help our friends here.
What you say?
I really not have aclue how to move forward. You know i am not on the saddle already and won't be useful on trade events.


regards

Ps pls not mistaken, FF said nothing.
Is just some close friends suggested and i think is true.

hey fti, for now, what has came to me head is a private forum. pro of private forum is mainly content not restricted and easy regulation over members. cons is need some fund to buy hosting space and need volunteer to admin, maintain forum & provide technical support. me is ok to volunteer to be admin/maintain forum & provide technical support. so need find someone spend some pips for hosting space.

however, will be on lookout to see any free sites out there we can use

anything? ai yo, thats what i worry la.
you know, i have reasons go work in a bank,could had started own business instead.
But after seeing what Dad went thru when running em. I thought to myself,dang, i not going have time do things i love.
So i made deals with Big boys, free hand , otherwise i exercise escape clause.
But freehand didn't meant i can do anything i like. Freehand with common goals.
but i learned, sometimes is difficult, things can change.
sometimes what we create ends up becomes things one not like.
Some, one cannot even recognise after some time.
Esp after it becomes too BIG.
Normally sharks moved in.

I guess is one of the reasons why many peeps like trading markets.
The Inventory logistics is light. There little infrastructure buildup suffer domino effects.

just thought about ChenJia. She's very kind singer. Seen the Big stages.
now makes self made MVs. And is getting very high end. Better than some professional endevours, i think.
she has skills equal to Teresa. But she has something even more valuable. Choice.(freedom)
And for now she has most important resource, youth & health.

Thinking back.
i had 1 great boss. we made deal , i do what i do best. He provides unquestioning support.
i always worked above the politiks.
Then 1 day the corp sold off in hostile take over (merger)at HQ levels.
his advise for me. I sorry won't be there anymore.
so i went took briefcase went into head hunter world. Manage restore my status elsewhere, but is different.
i guess if you develop real skills, freedom is always a choice available.
Talk about that. they even tried block me. Invoke no change corp 6 months fallow rule.
So took 6 months holiday travelled visted friends everywhere.

some rules made by very sick people. but i guess they not know that they very sick.

yes, me no like politiks too, one of the reasons why me gone into trading. everywhere ther is big group of humans ,always have politicks. when group gets even bigger, becomes split into many camps, take sides and fite. same everywhere, forum, private forums, clubs, company, big families, aiya everywhere wher there is humans but cant be help. at end of day, me think all these mostly borne out of peeps's natural instinct - just trying to survive? have food,shelter, and a little pleasure. of course some have it more than others, the character of life is inequal by default, its a pyramid structure, pi strcture? oppps nono, mother nature is phi structure

actually me is humans too, me need need repent lots... but if its only me repent, what good is there? ok maybe good for me mindset and pay for the original sin
