What I like about Renko is the general looks of the information that seems to get out of them: i see consective same events - consecutive bricks going up, consecutive bricks going down. Or, in a gambling approach, would be consecutive blacks followed by consecutive reds... But what I hate about...

Hehe... Don't be confused with what you see... Most of these bucketshops have them standardized in a way so that the payout is always the same, like 75% for instance. Most of the binaries offered by the bucket shops are european - they refer where the underlying expires. The trouble with the...

Hmm, I guess I misunderstood. I supposed that options traded in US are automatically american, therefore not being able to find "american options" seemed to me not being able to find touch options. This misunderstanding is due to the fact that binary options about expiry (higher/lower than) are...

When I was in school, american options were vanillas allowing exercise any time before expiry. Things changed , in the meanwhile touch options have become "american".

SaxoBank brought american touchies (not american vanillas) - but you have to select the expiries (once at a few days) and also select the strikes (from a list). Also, NO TRIGGERS, same as BetOnMarkets from this point of view... I looked like a month ago on the FX Bridge platform (ProTraderPlus...

They are cointegrated. Most likely arbitrageable, because futures has a light volume compared to forex; forex is naturally insane, so opportunity windows must form up. Perhaps not for my firepower, but at least I'll try. So in no way this is gonna be manual. All automated, and I already started...

I checked the list last night; it seemed the forex list is pretty big, but not the futures list. Alas, most of the brokers are NFA-regulated :thumbsdow . In the end, I decided for a simple futures demo with Mirus. In the end, I'll have to see what I do with the account. I think my last option...

I found a cool directory here at forexpros. I think I'll take them one by one, ruling out NFA as a rule of thumb.

No, I asked, they didn't say anything about a restriction, just that accounts remain completely separated. I tried to arrange cross-margining , so that there are 2 accounts that share the same margin, I got a NO for that too. I got the same answer from PFGBEST. It seems it's the NFA regulation ...

I would like some information on trading futures and forex in the same account. I don't want InteractiveBrokers, because it's too expensive. I need to have an API, or even better, I'd like NinjaTrader. I found Alpha Broking in Australia, but... demo is a futures account. What I can't find is...

Received confirmation, triggers are gone for good!

It would be nice for someone else to finally take it over and make it again what it once was.

Yeah, we know, nowadays Dishonesty + Deceit = Marketing

I think still BetOnMarkets is the best, though it's a pale shadow of its own glorious past.

Well you members know that, but BetOnMarkets took it very seriously, since it published on the what's new page. I guess at least for the prizes, there must be a sort of "member committee" to establish who takes the prizes, or even if there is anybody to be awarded. Prizes shouldn't be awarded to...
