haven't seen a similar thread here on ET and thought it may be of interest 5,000,000 would be 50 lots / 40 6E contracts 'GammaJammer, besides being a regular contributor to T2W, is a sixteen year industry veteran with wide ranging experience at a variety of tier 1 trading firms. He has worked as an interbank spot FX market maker, institutional currency trader, broker /dealer and even in his early days had a short stint as a LIFFE pit trader. He is currently head of Spot FX trading for a small institution in London.' "06.30 On the way to the tube station I will have a quick scan through the news headlines on my phone, check my e-mails, check the spot market levels in Asia etc. By the time I get to the tube station my phone has downloaded all the early morning research pieces that I've been sent so I have something more stimulating than the free papers to read on the train. It's a pretty short hop down to Bank (usually around twenty minutes), but by the time I'm there I usually have a better idea of what has happened of note overnight. Over the years I've found I have improved immensely at 'skimming' the morning reading, and can fit a surprising amount into the time available."

Hey wallace you advised a new guy on ET that FXCM account is fine to have anyone who reads anything from you from this point on is a fool
GJ is definitely for real, anyone spending a few years on boards such as ET, T2W and Trader's Lab should be familiar with him and his contributions to discussions, particularly macroeconomics, FX and bonds/notes.
I know, because I trade with him, if you must know... Whether you want to believe me or not is entirely up to you.

Again, feel free to believe whatever your heart desires... What I have told you is a fact, however. Why would my employer care whether I post here or not?
