Not to disillusion you but you know the US government makes more out of taxes than the oil companies do for actually pumping the oil? As the price of oil rises the governments taxes increase but they don't have to worry about how inflation might affect the cost of production that's the oil...

Actually I think the biggest threat to stockmarkets worldwide is a strengthening dollar. That implies deflation and a rush to "safe haven" afterall the Americans have been investing overseas in Europe and Asia for a long time there is an awful lot of American cash in strange places around the...

While the rate differential is certainly a powerful force there are a couple of things to bear in mind. The carry trade itself was used to fund lots of lots of purchases by our good friends the hedge funds, those same hedge funds are being gutted at the moment due to investors redeeming their...

Does anyone know of a spreadbet firm that allows you to bet for pence per point on commodities like Gold, Palladium e.t.c Palladium on most services I've looked at seems to be quoted at a minimum of 50pence per 10cents movement which considering the volatility (and spread!) of palladium is more...

Wealth-lab http://www.wealth-lab.com/ I think will do most of what you want. Only problem is its a general back testing utility and doesn't come with any forex data, you'd need to buy that seperately as I've done. P.S. you'd possibly need to know a little about programming. It's nothing too...

I know very little about options so this is useful information :) But you mentioned a Tokyo and US cut time, is there a London time?

Check out www.currencysecrets.com, look at the data section, it fairly comprehensively compares alot of data providers. I personally bought from http://www.forex-historical.com/ and have no complaints whatsoever so far. It is also likely that data can be from different time zones from you, for...

I can't speak for other posters, I personally use backtesting software as a means of testing and learning about different strategies. I am also a programmer by trade so it's a fairly familiar and comfortable way of me testing ideas against genuine data. I don't presume that just because a...

www.wealth-lab.com Good backtestting software, you'll need to do some programming in order to use it tho (as programming goes its not that scary)

From the replies we've had on this thread, I'd guess that there are no fixed times, altho certain times will be more popular than others. I can't be certain of that tho.

I asked on another forum Came back with the following response from someone who has more contacts than I :) Whole thread at http://www.forexzoo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54

The early morning breakouts that tend to happen in the cable and euro always intrigue me, the fact that so much money and presumably so many individuals are all buying at the same time when the next day they may not. This more than likely will be down to my lack of knowledge about breakouts but...

Delivery It looks interesting, the price certainly does, doesn't seem to be any details on how the data is delivered, is it a .cvs download e.t.c? or an app with dde? I've not used this site before so I really have no clue.

Curious Something I've always been curious about, is there any information on the breakdown between purely speculative activity and hedging, cross border currency movements? I would guess in the long term that it would primarily be hedging, currency conversions that drive the market as capital...

Take this for whatever you think its worth. Most people who come to this board myself included come in an effort to learn, others to learn and give advise depending on how confident they feel. All you have to do is write something along the lines of "I've got this new trading system, I'm going...
