Thread: The One Nobody Talks About

    [quote=gt;Apocalyptolt;;2565469]if it was that simple.

    Tidion makes a great point , many brokers have a shut out amount state 75% of the deposit....

    If it ticked up 1000 there will be minimal chance for the auto stop to fill u and is there a price?? Technically no not till the tick comes and u have a new traded price when this is 900 over your stop well you could owe your broker a lot of money depending upon the position and your cash.


    Practically, I wonder how many will last with a broker that they owe after being full of beyond what they've. . .That should be lousy debt, I suppose.

    How right you are.

    Td brings up a valid point, clockwork provides the simple and only answer.

    Abuse of leverage is a recipe for disaster.

    Howdy. Been quite awhile getting prepared for a move to Germany. Oh , SL and myself will be neighbors. That might be a reaction in itself.


    When the 5,000 people lost their lives in 9/11 - and as tragic as it was - we are still left here to live. So - I will always have an eye on my account, since I have obligation to take of my family.

    The real reason I pulled this thread from the bottom of the sandpile is to stress the importance of a huge slippage. This won't happen during trading hours - look at 9/11 prices and you will see the pentagon was hit by a plane and it was a day that is regular, though wallstreet shut down.

    However, a nuke going off in a central bank - which would be altering, would not it? A definite concern of mine, as unlikely as it is.

    Now, the actual issue is the weekend difference. This has been noted when a nuke goes away, and the banks have time to pull on orders on one side of their resting price. Since it is not actively traded resting. So you have your difference , and come in Monday.


    So the actual question is, should you buy from the money puts and calls on currency futures - how much could it cost? Ultimately, it is YOUR money. And if other people didn't get this insurance, at least you had the foresight to protect yourself.

    That is one of my biggest worries,I mean the market gapping against me during the weekend so I never have any open positions at friday.
    During normal market times a huge gap down,1000 pips or some thing similar to that in a major currency pair,is not likely as there will always be people willing to take the other hand because some people today tend to learn news quicker than others.
    It could eventually move 1000 pips down in a matter of minutes if something of that magnitude happens. . .but gap down I dont really think so.
