I am looking for feedback on what the margin requirements are for some other brokers on GBP/JPY? With my broker FXCM the margin requirement for one standard lot or 100,000 units is $3,600. I'd love to hear some feedback on the margin requirements ...

I think it's 100 EUR/USD = 450 USD/DKK. It is still more profitable to trade USD/DKK because you can leverage more. The more lots you are trading the bigger the difference becomes.

EURUSD

You're right dude, 100 pips of EUR/USD is about 450 pips of USD/DKK. But, in the end USD/DKK is still more profitable because margin requirements are lower. Anyway, you are right if you are used to trading EUR/USD it's not that much different. I ...

The margin requirements are also ridiculous as with all Eastern European currencies I have paired with the USD. USD/RUB USD/HUF USD/CZK A standard lot (100,000) units requires $5,000 at least with my broker. Also the spreads are not as low. I have ...

EURUSD

Yes, they are... However, NOK and SEK are not identically correlated the way that EUR/USD and USD/DKK are. Also, the spreads are a lot higher with USD/NOK and SEK/NOK and as far as USD/RUB is concerned the margin requirements are huge and also ...

EURUSD

Yes, that part is understood. However, let me put it to you this way. 500,000 EUR/USD Margin Requirement = $15,000 500,000 USD/DKK Margin Requirement = $10,000 Do the math, I already did. If you are a consistently profitable trader you can make more ...

EURUSD

Yes it is, but if you were to only trade EUR/USD instead you would not be able to leverage as much. In the end, when you do the math USD/DKK has the potential to give you far more gains. Because at the end of the day you can leverage a lot more with ...

That is very interesting, what platform do you use? How were you able to put DKK in front of USD? It sure does look like EUR/USD when you pair it together that way. lol

EURUSD

Just wanted to let everyone know in case they are not aware. USD/DKK seems to move identically to EUR/USD except it is the inverse. The reasons why it is attractive to me are as follows: 1. It moves hundreds if not thousands of pips more than ...

Good job dude. You never disappoint. I know right? I change my post almost as much as you change careers. lol If a truly talented person ever found this thread you would certainly find a way to make him want to leave. lol I have seen guy's like you ...

You missed the point completely. But, I pick up your sarcasm. You must have a really great sense of humor. Nice job. You must be a hit with the ladies.

He just likes to blab dude. He's a drama king. If he's not the center of attention he can't function. That's why I rarely post in here anymore. The thread has been dominated by an ex-carpenter/ex-truck driver lol I used to be a serious athlete, I ...

It would appear by looking at the GJ monthly chart that it has more room to run than EJ. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Do you think that overall GJ or EJ has more room to run in the long term monthly charts?

Hey Bob ... When do you like to add more to your positions? Do you have any rules about it? I think some people like to use S/R levels and others use oscillators.

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

It all depends on your time frame. If you are a hyper day trader like most of the people in here then prob. not. It depends on your style.

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

The margin requirements are extremely low for pairs like NOK/JPY and SEK/JPY. At least with my broker FXCM. These pairs also move a lot more especially when EUR/USD is in bullish mode which is where we are headed in the coming weeks I believe. It ...

I have tried trading the news and it seemed like a waste of time. It seems best to already be in a trade that has good technicals and align that with important news announcements. You could prob. place your stop at break even or some other logical ...

Bob wouldn't you consider yourself an investor? If you plan on holding on to long positions for a year or more that sounds a lot like an investor. Even the IRS would basically consider you an investor, you probably couldn't even get trader tax ...
