While dollar is devaluation mode it is no time to bottom pick...that fact that the S.a. government hinders withdrawal means that when the time comes there will be a nasty snap back as players head for the door at the same time...however, this time is not now and might not be in the near future...

Although the odds are firmly weighted to the side of the spreadbetting company and 99% of the time most complaints are justified, I think it's unreasonable to expect to be filled "at seen", especially during a fast market. Not long ago I remember that one would have to trade by the phone and you...

zar offers a high yield so despite what the experts say about the recovering stockmarket, investors are still chasing high yielding currencies...eventually this one could get down to 6.00 imo

From my experience, US stocks don't correlate as well as those in UK/Europe...this goes for intra-day and anything up to 2 week time frames

There are some option structures that need to be played out today (3pm expiry) and once dealt with may offer euro chance to test but fail at 1.1550, tho much will depend on US data as the pair has been well offered during the latter part of this week and spec accounts will most certainly be...

Had a quick read...not a great deal to be learned from what's there...that is, there's a great deal of info there, but not what I would call useful...also US orientated and since UK/Euro pair are better correlated I don't think those interested in the field need look outside the UK and European...

I know of someone looking into this...their concerns were bandwidth drop off but apparently there are no worries on that score provided that the laptop can handle whatever you're trying to run otherwise u might experience cut off...will let u know if they proceed/if I hear anymore

Lambchops...if your short the higher yielding currency you pay the interest rate differential...if visa versa then u receive the difference...what the difference is will depend on what your broker bases their instruments on...it might not be the "market rate"...ie it is not simply a case of...

You need a good degree and preferably a masters...something to make u stand out as there is lots of competition for grad places...be prepared for up to 5 interviews per application...personally, at the end of the day, I don't think it's worth it...I would rather trade at my leisure than for...

Euro currently in unstable territory against dollar whilst above 1.1288...any further progress today could be sold into as the pair is expected to trade under 1.1320 at some stage during Monday's trade.

Doubt much will happen prior to US retail sales later today. If above (>+2% core >+1%) or below (<1.1% core <0.3%) consenus (+1.6% core +0.7%) then euro expected to see 1.1050/1.1250 respectively. Consensus will see a slightly firmer dollar too given last week's non-farm disappointment. Also...

True arbitrage isn't possible across standard trading systems as far as stock trading is concerned. However, with forex, you should be trading on spread of 3/4 pips max, so in a fast market it's possible to make up to 10 pips. It works best with economic data releases. Your opening trade is made...

D4F will base their quotes on the fastest reacting instrument for that asset and rebase it back to the main asset eg. for Dow, they base their movement on futures but equate it to actual cash Dow, this is why Dow futures and D4F Dow are not at the same level but move the same.

Matt, I have found that one monitor per PC is the simplest soultion...you can pick up a powerful PC for a few hundred pounds and if coupled with TFT's, it really doesn't create too much of a problem space wise if you apply a bit of common sense...the added benefit is that you get much more power...

Skimbleshanks, the upside down shs you are referring to has not taken out the reaction high as yet so is still in the realms of the false break scenario. As for double bottoms and targets north of 10,000, it is all very well looking at technicals but there is no way fundamentals suggest a move...
