Hi all. I'm keen to join any good forex chatrooms. And to generally network with other traders. I've been trading for over a decade. If you want to skype add me, just pm me here, and I'll give you my skype username. Best wishes all!

If orders weren't MEANT to be cancelled, then.. they couldn't BE cancelled! The phoney regulator seems to ignore this fact. Despite the claims that the regulator is trying to protect market credibility, it looks like he's causing HUGE harm to the market with what, on the face of it, looks like...

I'm up for this. Bristol is infinitely than Bath as a venue for me. As I'm coming from S Wales.

The only exception to the above I could think of is if the systems can be hacked. So the platform moves to trigger and fulfill a stop order. But trader can somehow bail out WHEN THE PRICE HAS BEEN STRUCK. But even then, the case against Sarao looks utter bull****. Because he couldn't have...

This is shocking. Firstly the claim that Narao is guilty of something. Secondly the outrageous decision to charge him. Ofcourse whilst infinitely bigger players get away with megafrauds every week. Even a rookie knows that you shouldn't treat stop orders particularly reverently. 1stly much of...

You've only got to look at LIBOR rigging, forex rigging, Copper rigging, the Alpari debacle etc etc and now this. Its a bit disconcerting that there seems to be one rule for these. And one rule for the others. I'm now starting to wonder if there will be a fraud unveiled that will absolutely...

WHat was reported in the press was utterly baffling. Apparently he's been charged with "spoofing" and wire fraud too. But how the hell is placing orders "market manipulation". There was a vastly larger number of traders who could have called his bluff, if HE was trying to manipulate a market...

I've been meaning to make econometric analysis a much larger part of my trading. I did a fair bit of work in the past learning Gretl and a fair few theories/approaches. Prediction can be very good, but usually more so over longer timeframes. Would be happy to work in a team on it, time...

OK no posts for 4 yrs, but its relevant to all traders with UK accts, and arguably anyone else with an EU area acct. I've got some experience helping friends with Ombudsman problems. I have no doubt the Financial Ombudsman adjudication system is a complete and utter sham. In short, it is a...

I'd be interested to see what happened. I mean isn't Alpari an ECN? FX brokerage should be fairly simple, drama free, bearing in mind the advances in software and matching networks in the last 10 yrs or so. But evidently, there's still room for improvement. Strangely a friend of mine was...

I recorded part 2. I wasn't initially that enthusiastic about watching it, because I thought it'd bring back bad memories of many yrs ago haha! Anyway, I did watch it. Here's my observns:- Rene - clearly an addict. Very sad to watch. Atleast he understands microaccts... atleast how to lose...

Hmm. Well we all have emotions. Some of us keep them under control more than others. I think what I do nowadays is prepare for the eventualities of trading. If my trade profits a lot I think "so what, sometimes you get movement, I prepared for that". And if I lose, I think "so what, x % of the...

Hi Neil, Simon and all. Well, I think that Correlation/ Divergence trading is key to understanding the fx markets. Its also one of the most tricky to follow on a consistent basis. I use it alot in my own trading. But its does have potential pitfalls. 1st, correlation indicators lag. 2nd...

I mentioned thg about Brown and Tobin taxes here a few days back. I never actually researched whether Brown had seriously proposed it. Or if his enemies in the press had pretended he had. Or whether he had been the subject of a ploy to damage his credibility with impossible( and daft) ideas. I...

Re: The world is a scary place............. Hmm, there are some troubling things being talked about/ happening in forex. FIFO and anti-hedge regulations, and now this 10-1 nonsense. I've read something that the CFTC proposal of 10-1 would ONLY apply to non-exchange products ie OTC products...
