For those of you who love magic lines on a chart, I offer the example of USDCHF, which did its big meltdown in Oct-Dec - from 2780 to 1923, about...
Re Dodge: In the Globe a few days ago, can't remember exactly when. All I can find on the web is two speeches on May 1 and May 4 in which he...
I have a diffferent trading style from most people on this list, and it has worked very well for me. (a) I hold the leverage down to 10:1 max, so...
I am personally very long on USDCAD - I believe we will be back to at least 1500 in a month or two. Today we dropped to 70 pips above a 30-year...
My point exactly. We know after the fact that jumping into the market in 1933 was a great move, just as we know after the fact that the effects...
Duh. The "Great Depression" consisted of a sharp downturn from 1929 to 1933, followed by a strong recovery. Real GDP was back to the 1929 level...
I don't use stops any more - tired of getting stop hunted. Just have lots of cushion, enter near the top/bottom of the channel, set a reasonable...

At one point I bought a block of 2 million USDCAD at 1.1080. If I had had the gumption to hang on to it, I would at one point have been down...

yep, me, at $50 a pip. If oil stays down I predict 1500 in a few weeks, especially if BoC drops rates by a quarter, as they well might
I dunno, it's not all that irrational long-term. Since 1999, there's been a 91% correlation between the loonie and spot oil prices, for starters,...
absolutely not true, sccz. I sat and watched a stop order (not a stop limit order) be ignored and ignored and ignored as the price went up and...
Not exactly TWS, but suggestions for new order types. (1) a "Market Limit" order, which would submit as a limit order at the bid/ask time in...
By the way, anyone here have experience with their Java API? I'm an old-time programmer but I've never used Java. I try to compile the sample...

dang, that table didnt come out too well. The main thing that isn't clear is that the US spends $5,437 per capita on health care, of which $2,081...
