And yet... 5k/month = 10% monthly returns on 50k no compound = 213% compounded. You need a buffer too, so circa 300% PA is the target. 4.5x Rentech. The only advantage you/I/anyone has here is no capacity limit. My take is for anyone seriously ...

Man you are prolific. Thanks MB

I think *there's* your answer tbh. How do you know though? Have you tested them? Because if you had, you'd likely come to a different conclusion. What works for you, works for me, works for everyone. Whether or not you follow it depends on ...

Looking for some outside help

MB, bloody good piece of coding this. I've used it as a template for something tangentially related, you mind if I post it? OP, I won't derail your thread with it, as it doesn't involve Sekanas but it has your DNA at the heart.

Easy Lot Sizing on All Assets? Meet Sekanas

I only just noticed this. Fair play - that was an epic call from where we were.

UK mini crash imminent, wealth tax to follow

Well you'll forgive my cynicism then... because outside of futures, EBS & RM make up 2/3rds of interdealer volume. Then you've a handful of D2Cs platforms like FXAll. And CLS is the biggest aggregator. This isn't a trade secret - I use RM and have ...

Nothing's happening in the bond markets... 10 yr gilts are at July 2023 levels.

UK mini crash imminent, wealth tax to follow

It's the psychology of failure. If you deep down expect to lose, you'll tune in to those that enable it. Reason doesn't play a part.

Yes they can but no they don't. Not normally. 50-100 lots is top of book - $5-10m. Obviously changes but in London/NY that's typical. You never clear out the whole book unless you're deliberately trying to be seen. VWAP and TWAP orders in at $1m - ...

Maximum lot size question for all big players

edit: just reread it, you said 200 x 200 =40,000 lots. Given 1=100,000 units, $100k of EU, you're talking $4bn max notional. Can't be right. Top of book in EBS & LSEG is around $5-10m, so assuming they're offsetting your trade, it'd still slip by ...

Maximum lot size question for all big players

I take your point Blob. The only area I know better than most is wholesale. On that... given the headwinds, they're not pointing in Ripple's favour IMO, but on the wider point of investment, fair - there's a lot of avenues including retail banking ...

XRP (Ripple)

thanks Blob. I'd give it 12 months max before the path is decided. Rather aggressive ending mind you. Don't forget we're almost all traders here, not investors. Can't speak for anyone else but personally it doesn't matter to me if climbs or dives. ...

Superior tech has the biggest market share... most of the time, but the exception is in the most risk-averse areas of business. I think we're down to one core difference of opinion here. So Fnality - no that AI overview is massively misleading! - is ...

XRP (Ripple)

Appreciate the wind-down Blob... all this is, is two different angles. It's because I'm entirely about trading FX, intraday specifically. Changes in FX open opportunities & introduce threats. Remember the Volcker rule? Gave me an edge for 7 years ...

XRP (Ripple)

Ha, yeah honest truth? I thought if I ignored yours and H2E’s posts and gently restarted the convo, we might all learn something new. Clearly... a bad trade. Second confession. I'd love to see Ripple, Circle or any of the outsiders romp home with an ...

That’s noble to correct misinformation, but you haven’t done so. RN is already used without XRP, by design. Ripple positioned it that way to attract banks first, hoping XRP adoption would follow. I’m saying that assumption doesn’t match how FX ...

XRP (Ripple)

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but my focus is just about the future value of XRP in relation to FX market. Not Ripple the company. Nor a technical question about L1 networks. RippleNet ≠ XRP. They’re not the same. RippleNet can operate with or without ...

good answer. I have several buts... but they're dependent on what else you say re the others so I'll bite my tongue. And this just in : url
