    4XP - 50% Bonus - Bo

    Hi there T2W, I have recently come accross an offer on the web which seems too good to be true from an unknown broker: 4XP Investments & Trading They claim that for deposit of $5,000 they will top up your account with an extra $2,500. Sounds like a good trade to me; even if you don't like...

    Market Makers: monitoring

    Hi T2W, I believe that Market Makers working a particular contract (for exemple Dax Futures) own the intraday market. By that I mean that as a group, they compete for bid/ask but end up with a similar net position (long or short). Because their job is not to hold directional exposure, it...

    Tick data: Gaps

    The first things I spoted are: -when there is a Trade ("last"), there are no Ask or Bid reported. -there is a new tick everytime there is either a new Ask, Bid or Trade But then why, sometimes there are 2 quotes (Ask + BId) and sometimes only one quote ?

    Hi T2W, I use Reuters QuoteCenter to receive Tick data in DDE format into Excel. I look at Bid and Ask. My problem is that there are Gaps in the data and I am not sure what they mean. For exemple: Ask Bid 5,000 5,001 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000.5 5,001...

    Spot - Futures Arbitrage?

    Here are a few comments on this arbitrage: -Is it possible to short an ETF ? -Although the ETF doesn't pay dividends, it is getting the carry (AUD rate - USD rate) and capitalize it (i.e. it is a capitalization fund as opposed to distribution fund). Therefore the Net Value of the ETF should...

    Arcade = Scam ?

    hi T2W, I had the impression that Trading Arcade were scams; by scam I mean people who make retail traders think they can become professional traders after a training period. But in fact the whole process is only done to charge desk-fees or trading-commissions on your back. Can anyone having...
