Ok...now better IN the srock market you have NBBO rule....In the FX mrkt no such thing...we could be in the same room but registered with different brokers and we will ger two diff. quotes for same currency. I am trying to say the 3T fx mrkt is just marketing pitch by brokers..... but for us at...

Let us be prof. and tackle the points: "Hence, it is not HOW big a market is that matters.....but where you can maximize your rewards at a targeted risk"...............What you say to that "Veteran Member"?!

Two points: (1)-If the Fx mrket is 3T or 1B it does not matter....What matters is at level YOU trade. CDO market is 650 Trillion in the US alone.....So what??!! if it is ALL done between banks, investment banks and hedge funds. If you are none of the above what good is that to you?! Same with FX...

meanreversion says: "FX is the most liquid market in the world, daily turnover in spot is $3trio a day" What is this?!! 99% of the 3Trillion you are talking about is done on the wholesale level among banks.......You do not even see it, let alone trading it?! it is like a GM deallership in...

Paranoia?! I hope you can tackle the facts.......... Mr. wackypete2 says "You can also trade the spread between the futures and spot price, OR suppose your spot broker prices lag the futures by 1 minute...wow this could be a goldmine!" I say not true

"OR suppose your spot broker prices lag the futures by 1 minute...wow this could be a goldmine!" who says that FX futures contracts and spot have 100% pstive coorelation in the short term? OR that they have to coverage....Have you not heard of contango!!!!!

(1)- Regu. in the US are inane plus there is no one to enforce them. (2)- large spreads is just one way to manipulate the mrkt among many others. here is another one for you to think about. let us say for example that Trader X has 100 contracts Eur/Us$ with 100 contract stop that is thirty pips...

What about re-quotes? when FX broker add/subtract pips hey are not juts out there to get me, per se... They are out there to get everyone that trades on their platform and NOT just me!!!

Since there is NO centralized market for FX and no regulations whatsoever, it seems to me that retail FX trading is just numbers moving around. What stops a retail broker from adding 5 pips on the offer rate and subtracting 5 pips from bid he gets from the so called market maker or ECNs such as...

If you place an order to sell 100 shares of company x at market price and the top two orders to buy for company x at the NYSE:: (1)- buy 60 shares at 20$ (2)- buy 40 shares at 18$ while top of the book orders to buy at NASDAQ: (1)- buy 40 share at 10$ How will you be filled?:-0
