      Gerade dieses Segment schreit schon lange nach ständigen Kontrollen. Die Broker, die nichts zu befürchten haben, juckt das nicht
      und die anderen werden gnadenlos aussortiert und dabei dürfen Namen überhaupt keine Rolle spielen, wie man sieht.
      Möcht nicht wissen, wie viel Leute da schon abgezockt wurden, bis die Klage zu stande kam.
      Und wieder bekommt PTs Meinung über MMs neue Nahrung.

      Da scheint FXCM ja einiges in die Software implementiert zu haben:

      a. Slow Server Command: When a customer is engaged in profitable trading activity, Defendant routes the customer’s account to a “slow server,” causing trade execution to be slowed down, and allowing Defendant the time to hijack any potential profit in the trade by buying and selling in-between the customer’s order and the real market, with Defendant’s taking any profit and leaving the customer victimized with no money for his or her effort;

      b. False “Error” Messages: Defendant uses its administrative back-end software to prevent the customer from closing out a profitable trade and instead causes the trading system to generate any one of a series of “error” messages to the customer, blocking the customer’s efforts to finalize what would have been a profitable order;

      c. Flash Trades: Defendant, in a practice known as “stop hunting,” manipulates the market price of the traded currency, including printing bogus “flash trades” which move the “market” to trigger the customer’s stop order for a given trade, essentially closing the customer out of that trade;

      d. Arbitrary Margin Rules: Defendant arbitrarily changes the margin rules on Fridays for an ensuing week without any notice to the customer, which results in the customer’s being deprived of any trading advantages or leverage opportunities they may have, and again causing the customer’s account to be closed out in favor of Defendant;

      e. Abuse of “Slippage”: Defendant, in a practice known as “slipping a trade,” takes advantage of “slippage” in a given trade. “Slippage” is the change in price between the time when a price is quoted and a market order is placed. It is customarily caused by market movement while the trade is being executed. The incidence of “slippage” should roughly be equal in favor of the customer and the broker. Defying all laws of probability, in almost every case, Defendant’s customers suffer losses as a result of “slippage” at grossly greater percentages than Defendant does, which can only be explained by Defendant’s manipulation of pricing; and

      “Slow Fill” and “No Fill” Commands: Defendant often fails to execute valid and profitable trade orders entered by the customer and instead causes the trading system to generate a “slow fill” or “no fill” message to the customer as the customer attempts to close out a profitable trade, preventing the customer from making a profit while generating illicit profits for Defendant.

      Kurze Unruhe am Geldmarkt - Banken ordern Milliarden

      "Die Banken der Euro-Zone leihen sich in der Nacht zu Freitag erneut überdurchschnittlich viel Geld bei der EZB geliehen. Aus der Spitzenrefinanzierungsfazilität borgten sich die Banken 16,009 Milliarden Euro nach rund 15 Milliarden Euro am Vortag. Geldmarkthändler führen dies auf Probleme beim Hauptfinanzierungsgeschäft der EZB von Dienstag zurück..."

      I go for it!

      Die Lage scheint interessanter zu werden. GBP Zinsspekulation, Bahrain - Emirate - Saudi Arabien, iranische Kriegsschiffe auf dem Weg ins Mittelmeer, ägyptische Muslimbrüder haben angekündigt sie würden im Falle einer Machtübernahme alle internationalen Verträge überprüfen.
      Der Stillstand könnte langsam überwunden werden.

      Woher sie kommen weiss ich nicht (eventuell FXCM), ich habe die mal getestet, das war auch intraday brauchbar. Du kannst aber einen Gratis Test mit Real Time Daten für ein paar Tage bekommen, dazu musst du dich kostenlos registrieren und den Test anfordern. (soweit ich mich erinnere musst du dazu eine Tel. Nr. angeben)

      Irgendetwas ist da im Busch. Das sind ja geradezu Stillstandsversuche im Majorbereich. Inflation? Arabien (Oel)? Regulierung (G20)? (US) Fiskalpolitik? Bondmarkt?

      NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Currency investors should brace themselves for volatile trading in major currencies including the dollar, the euro and the yen over the next two to three years, said Edward Yardeni, an influential financial markets analyst.
      "There is an ugly contest among the major currencies," said Yardeni in a phone interview with Dow Jones Newswires on Wednesday. "Easy monetary policy and lack of fiscal disciplines would have been bearish for the dollar but the euro and the yen are also on shaky ground due to their own fiscal and economic problems."
      Yardeni, 60, is president of the independent investment research company Yardeni Research Inc. in Brookville, N.Y. His reports on stocks, bonds and currencies are widely followed by many global investors. He coined the term "bond vigilantes" in 1983 to describe those Treasury investors who sold bonds to push up borrowing costs for the U.S. government as a way to force it to adopt fiscally responsible policy.
      Yardeni said he expects the euro-dollar, the most actively traded currency pair in the global foreign-exchange market, to stay in a range of $1.15 to $1.40 for the next two to three years. He recommends that investors sell the euro when it approaches $1.40 and buy the common currency when it approaches $1.15. Wednesday, the euro bought about $1.3576.
      In contrast, he is bullish on the Australian and Canadian dollars, saying that the global demand for commodities is likely to boost the value of the two currencies versus the U.S. dollar. He expects the Australian and Canadian dollars each to appreciate 10% this year against the greenback and gain a further 5% against the U.S. currency in 2012.
      Turning to the Treasury market, Yardeni said the voices of bond vigilantes have been muted in recent years because inflation pressure in the U.S. has been relatively tame compared with that in many other countries. The Federal Reserve has been a main buyer in the Treasury market to support the economy, which also has tempered bets on rise in yields from many bond bears.
      The impact of bond vigilantes was most pronounced in late 1980s and early 1990s when such investors pushed U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton into adopting austerity measures including tax increases and spending cuts to reduce the budget deficit.
      Yardeni said he isn't a bond vigilante himself because he doesn't manage bond portfolios. Instead, he had bet in the 1980s and 1990s that Treasury yields would fall and the bond market would rally as bond vigilantes pushed the U.S. government to be fiscally responsible. He also coined the term "hat-sized bond yields" when the benchmark 10-year note's yield traded more than 10% in the early 1980s.
      The yield tumbled from a record high of 15.8% in September 1981 to an all-time low of 2.03% in December 2008. The yield has risen to 3.599% on Wednesday, near a nine-month peak, amid an improving economy, growing anxiety about inflation and a ballooning fiscal deficit that the federal government forecasts to hit a record $1.6 trillion for the current fiscal year.
      President Barack Obama said earlier this week that he expects to trim the deficit by about $1 trillion in the next decade, a plan that Yardeni said fails to address the core issue--cutting spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
      "The Republicans immediately criticized his budget plan," said Yardeni. "There will be a long negotiation process and the process won't finish after the presidential election in 2012. Obama is hoping that the bond market would be patient."
      Still, Yardeni said fiscal policy isn't the only factor shaping the bond market. At a time when the economic recovery is still unsteady, the 10-year Treasury note's yield is likely to peak between 4% and 4.25% in the middle of this year and then fall back to 3.5% by the end of 2011, he said.
      Yardeni recommends investors buy Treasurys should the 10-year's yield rise to around 4% area, as higher yields could undermine the economic recovery.
