I see that you are not familiar with modern internet lingua franca. When you were told that the ES only started in 1998 you said that you had been trading the big S&P 15 years ago and "thanks for the history lesson", thus you PWND the 1998 ES commenter. BTW I still have one of those FM sideband blackboxes stored away.
Jeb do u remember being in a trade getting a signal loss and running around trying to get a signal with ur rabbit ears . I then moved on to DTN using the satelite if u could call it that . When my data went down I m standing out in the snow trying to readjust the satelite .. seams like yesterday . People have no idea how easy it is today . T
What are you looking to do with FX? Most of the FX dealers are bucket shops. If you want fair FX markets then use a broker with an ECN model such as IB or trade the Globex FX futures.
I had one of those flexible wire Y shaped FM antennas that I had taped to a window for best signal reception. It used to tick me off when sometimes a plane or helicopter flying overhead would interfere with the radio signal. The internet data feeds are like magic compared to that.
I do well in the ES and I thought I would like to get serious about FX trading at late hours , apply what I use in ES . I just want a real deal and I don t know much about it but a chart is a chart . T
If u didn't care what pair u traded u just wanted the tightest spread or most efficent cross what would u recommend
If you just want to stick your toe in the water, just open a small account with fxcm, onada, etc... Then when you get serious you can either stay or move on. As for the pair with the tightest spread itâs EUR/USD. But depending on your time frame you can trade the other majors. I just shorted GBG/USD at 1.4228, looking for 100pips. I think you will like FX, it will grow on you like a fungus
