IB might have a big variety of traders - but remember they're truly global and they do count. They are the biggest contributor to the CME futures with respect to #s of transactions. Since it's a zero-sum game, you want to "get" as many opponents as possible sweating in the baking oven. I'm just around 60% on spot demo now for the day.
Remember, those are delayed quotes. Better go for http://www.dailyfx.com/FinanceChart.html or similar from www.refcofx.com . At least those are real-time, and they're pretty close to the CME EuroFX right now. Don't let that happy hour get to you. I'm going to hit my Jägermeister now ... ahhh, refreshing. I once did 1 liter Southern Comfort in a night, but that cured my throat soreness for "good". Other than that, I have a affinity for double B-52s and body-tequila shots in spanish-speaking places in europe.
... and right you are. I remember they were delayed earlier, when registration was not required, or am I completely off my cliff now ? Anyways, use the chart link to dailyfx as a simple fast-chart.
Do like me, open a demo with FXCM or Refco FX. Then use the super-duper-excellent Thomson news to supplement you information. It's the best I've found out there. Sure, Reuters, Bloomberg are more in-depth ... but it's the fast up-to-date chatter and rumours that you need for confirming your thoughts that you get with the fast updates on Thomson news. Consider buying a more extensive service on www.ifrmarkets.com . Anyone else willing to vouch for them as best-in-the-industry for FX scalping ? They even cover unusual currency pairs in european session (on demo) and always on www.ifrmarkets.com .
If Bush wins Ohio now, I'm not trading short â¬s for a considerable time. Hmmm .. I don't like the FL news .. gotta tune into more of CNNI.
