Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Hils,

Wonderful, although without wanting to 'dampen' your enthusiasm I suspect walking away could be a little too ambitious. Fyi I am running some automation software, but things like the broadband going down, and Newsy stuff on certain days, tends to screw with your life. Nevertheless please keep us all posted on your endeavors. Great that your attempting this. Best, John

Funnily enough, John, the prospect of waking up in the morning to a train crash is my biggest concern. But then I think "Hey, isn't that what the stops are for?"

Besides, I wouldn't walk away completely. I'd still look in frequently to check that it was working. I can also envisage that a major hardware upgrade would be on the cards.

All of this may be jumping the gun though. Firstly, I've read that coding projects have a habit of over-running by a factor of between 2 and 5. Secondly, even if the coder delivers, I'm still not 100% sure that my system is flawless and profitable.

It may all turn out to be a major embarassment!

joh/hils...there is free software out there that will monitor your automated systems for instance i have a monitor running from another location (my mates house!) that pings my autmated set up constantly...if for whatever reason the internet connection dies it will text me straight away or you can even set ip up to call your land line.

also if my broker looses connection from routing software or chart packag looses its feed I am instantly notified and if I am not in the house you can connect via XDA

i have been doing this stuff for a long time and it is no longer difficult or expensive

there is no need in this day and age to be sat at a screen.

if you need info on any of it let me know, as i say it is all FOC

That set up sounds terrific, Treble. I did a quick bit of Googling, but nothing immediately stood out.

Does your software have a name per chance?

hils.....will drop you a note later...heading out to the gym right now...if you get nowt by tomorrow MAM mail me as i have shit for brains

very quickly

have a look at above...you need to sign up for a text alert account (there are loads) and you need to embed a line of code into the source of the utility above that will be supplied.

email me and i will send more detailed repsonse later.

peace

Thanks for that, Treble. I can now see how that would be a starting point and it's certainly sown some seeds.

I'll be in touch again if and when I can get this up and running.

FX thread is OK for me.

Dollar appears to be in freefall

Hadnt been paying attention the last couple of days but you are right. Did you catch any of it.

yesireeeeeeeeeee. back to uk tomorrow, so good morning to finish my trading week!

Just made a few on the retracement, and there was moneyweek predicting a crash in sterling this week! May be next...

We are just about start writing to a new GTIS feed which will have streaming spot, forward and outright forward rates for the following pairs. We will stream all of them on one page, what other tools would be useful as we now have the data? Sensible suggestions please Delboy and Daisy!


AUDUSD
EURCHF
EURDKK
EURGBP
EURJPY
EURNOK
EURSEK
EURUSD
GBPUSD
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDCHF
USDDKK
USDHKD
USDJPY
USDNOK
USDSEK
USDSGD
USDZAR

As you've got a SEK feed, Doris, the Dollar Index (USDX) would be useful imo.

USDX = 50.14348112 EURUSD^(-0.576) USDJPY^(0.136) GBPUSD^(-0.119) USDCAD^(0.091) USDSEK^(0.042) USDCHF^(0.036)

Daisy: Ruddy heck, i failed O'levels maths but got O'level woodwork so you lost me at the first = sign :-). I'm sure someone here went to Uni and did maths.

possible to have gbp/jpy.........can be a luverly mover.........!

goforit. These are the ones in our current feed, I'll look at the pair for you

bought some USD/CHF at 1.0036

Bullie/Doris/Mike: I'll give you a call. (I feel strangely uncomfortable with that Doris moniker . . . )

My mother nearly called me that :S

And before you say anything - she wasn't English.
Well that's the only excuse I can come up with ;)
