Read this post from Francesc's blog at FXStreet.com.
And here's an excerpt from the president and CEO of the National Futures Association to Congress in September:
Congress should amend Section 2(c) of the Act to require FCMs acting as counterparties to retail forex transactions to maintain minimum capital of at least $20 million.
That means that most forex dealers that you do business with are going to have to put up a significantly bigger amount of money to stay in business. The only pure forex-dealing firms that could survive right now under this requirement would be FXCM, Oanda, and GFT.

It seems that the site is just getting up and running in a few areas (the link above will point you to the book review section). But I like the premise, and the tone, and the format -- especially because there are articles and a forum as part of the site.
I've said it before, but I think the idea is cool. Take a look!
Here is how to draw Fibonacci channels (with fibbles) in Metatrader:
1. Click Insert->Channels->Fibonacci
2. You can now choose which (fibonacci) levels you want by right clicking on the channel, choosing "fibo channel properties" and then choosing "fibo levels".
Thanks to Vincent for helping me remember how this is done.
If you find that you don't like the way this looks, or that MT doesn't do as good of a job as xtick does at producing these fibbles, then you might have to switch to xtick.
"No bank - Swiss Bank or the Bank of England - would survive the promised return of Christ. Strong as they appeared, their apparent security would be broken in an instant."First, I find it odd that he would have to point that out. Second, it seems odd to me that if someone saw Jesus Christ coming through the clouds, that they would stop and ask, "I wonder if this will affect my online banking?" Third, I wonder what in the world he believes the connection between Christ and banking is. Fourth, I wonder what he is suggesting -- that his own bank isn't safe? That making money (which Mr. Costa has done a lot of) is evil?
Last of all, I thought that there must be more to what he says. So I dug a bit deeper into the subject and found this more insightful quote from Mr. Costa:
"As an investment banker in the City of London, I have read the Financial Times and the Bible almost every day for the last 30 years. People often ask how I reconcile being a banker and a Christian. There is a widespread view that God and business simply don’t mix: the competitive, cut-throat demands of the marketplace are seen as the obvious enemy of Christian compassion and love. But I have found that the God who created and sustains the world is also the God of the workplace. If the Christian faith is not relevant in the workplace, it is not relevant at all . . ."Now that sounds a lot more like someone who realized that God isn't against man being rich. He's just against man being a jackhole while at work.
NOTE: Please note that I'm not saying here that being religious is bad. I'm just trying to say that there are a lot of people trying to reconcile making money with their religious beliefs. And it's not an easy thing to do.

Spoken by Dr. Renata Felloni, in Luke Reinhart’s The Dice Man.
1. I'll have free copies of my new book, Adventures of a Currency Trader, for the first 60 people.
2. I'll have bonus CDs that contain extra material, including trading systems and new ebooks. Free again.
3. Some t-shirts and other cool things.
4. An all-new hour-long presentation, and copies of the slides.
See you there (I hope).
Traveling to Japan and Australia -- and everywhere else recently, for that matter -- has taken me to new places and people. This change in scenery and in personalities gave me a push to start thinking about teaching (and trading) in different ways. Every night this last week, I turned to Ben (who helped out with the seminar) and said, "being in all these different places is screwing up my time zone, changing my diet, altering what I see, and putting me on the other side of the planet. I am seeing things differently because I've gotten out of my comfort zone."
Breakthroughs in trading (and in teaching people to trade) have come when I have allowed myself to get out of my comfort zone. And maybe "comfort zone" isn't the right phrase. What I mean to say is that a trader can do herself a lot of good by not just reading new books or watching trading videos, but actually going outside and getting fresh air, taking a drive out of the area, meeting new people, and just changing the scenery. The change in surroundings can help one to start thinking differently not just about the world and people, but about trading.
If you're interested, let me know. Send me an email by clicking here.
More details to come tomorrow.

I'm in room 2602, which I think is cool because it has the numbers 6 and 2 (62). Surely a coincide. Here's a photo from my hotel room:
More updates (and trade ideas) coming this week.
Hope to see you there.
I hope to see you there. I will be doing a similar presentation in Australia the week after. More details to come.
We are going to hold an open house at the Piptopia office in Mesa, Arizona, on Tuesday, April 10, at 7:00pm. We'll have light refreshments and plenty to talk about. No need to RSVP. Just come. If you do not already have a copy of my new book, we'll have a few free copies of the book there.
Here's a Google Map for the address of the Piptopia office in Mesa.
I hope to see you there!

It's a shame that this happened. One of the big issues will be whether there is any money left in these customer accounts. Hopefully there is.
UPDATE: Click here for some additional thoughts on the meltdown of CFG Trader.
That's a big development for the largest retail FX dealer in the world. The tactic of buying and selling the same currency at the same time (that's hedging in retail FX) has become more and more popular. I hear about more people doing it every day. I am not sure it will ever be a part of anything that I do, but it's interesting to me that more dealers are offering it.
