Would this be Jack Crooks, from Blackswancapital? (mentioned earlier in this thread) If so, I read the last 10 newsletters he has online....
Yes, it was a general problem. While waiting for Customer Service to report it (as the Website said "all systems normal") I found out there's a...
Probably, best combination would be IPE on Eurex's proven platform (based on feedback about how BAD IPE is with technology). But, I wouldn't...
Any other kind souls who can help me understand this capital outflows lack of effect on assets "conundrum" ?
Ivanovich, great pictures! On the subject of forex... and EUR/USD in particular: Technically: Didn't USD just make a double top at 89.x...
My scope for asking the question, was from the point of view of "big money". E.g. let's say PIMCO has 200bn "invested" in US notes. It might...
My 2cents: 1. Elder is NOT a trader. He is a traders' COACH / vendor. 2. His first book "Trading for a living" was a big success (catchy...
