This is awesome, great work guys! Just need to get peripheral European equities and debt, some CDS, and we're all set.

OANDA Discussion

1. First of all it's not just market orders that move the market; for example, whoever's making the spread/market can adjust their bid/ask up or down without any orders being executed. Same when there are multiple participants all creating the ...

Order flow in the aspect of ordertypes

Just wanted to note something regarding risk on/risk off (RORO). What you described may be how it is at present; but RORO and the assets which correlate to risk are not constant, they vary and change depending on a number of factors as well as the ...

Event Driven FX Trading

Hi, just cause something is going up/down doesn't mean it's capital repatriation. For example in May you got a whole bunch of risk aversion flows. Some may have been capital leaving euro-denominated assets and going into safe havens such as USD or ...

Repatriation of Capital EUROs and Dollars

Good stuff man!

It's Really All About Consistency...

Jordan's speaking tomorrow so it's not inconceivable there could be some short covering/buying in anticipation of him saying something big... but that's not likely to move the market above 2030 unless he actually DOES say something big. If not then ...

Is Long EURCHF a Sure Bet?

Not a "sure bet" of course but I think it's a high probability bet - if you're betting they will maintain the floor i.e. sell unlimited quantities of francs for euros at 1.2 (they can just "print" francs to buy as many euros as the market wishes to ...

Is Long EURCHF a Sure Bet?

I think it's incredibly stupid to think the SNB would raise the floor due to mounting pressure on the floor. What will a higher exchange rate do as far as money inflow or spec attacks? Well it provides the "attackers" a better price to sell at, sure ...

The Confession & The Secret

If you want to use 3:1 leverage only then you can't risk 2% over 50 pips. £20 divided by 50 = 40p per pip. Therefore your position size would need to be 4 times whatever position size gives you 10p per pip; assuming 10p per pip = 1:1 leverage, your ...

Order Flow - Achieving the mindset

Since I have no idea whether he will be reading this or not, let me attempt to reply. The spot market is about $1.5 trillion a day (BIS 2010). A large percentage of that volume is "hot potato trading" by dealers (Lyons). Therefore a given ...

US Debt Ceiling Crisis Thread

I agree but I suppose it depends what your end goal is. For example I am currently educating myself in a number of different economic and market subjects, in order to get a more "holistic" understanding of global capital flows and be able to ...
