You really have to know who voted, its the easy enough for a broker or vendor to get the office junior to sign up a few hundred members for this purpose. When FF made there voting transparent this is precisely what they found.
Its not really Mr Sharkys fault, but they could apply some sort of weighting to each vote to make it a bit more difficult, and of course, there could be complete transparency.
I mean, what a complet surprise it would be to see black swan voting for cmc
The biggest loss has been the credibility of the internet. Until this Wasp episode I trusted everything I read on the internet...but now...I don’t know...I just don’t know
What has happened to the T2W forums these days, not much action really, why have members stopped contributing? Have they gone elsewhere or what is happening?
spreads look terrible until you look at the date .. Monday 26th Dec at 13.49 it was a bank holiday in the UK/US/EUROPE... etc etc... when you take out all the liquidity providers then you are unlikely to get anything close to a reasonable spread .. as a point of interest i was a spot trader for a large FX trading bank back in the late eighties and those spreads would have been pretty normal back then ..and no internet instant dealing... it was all over the phone, telex (!) and reuters quoting connect.
the point about a wide spread is that 'nobody forces you to trade' .... if you really have a major move position to take then.. just do it.But if your trading is generally summed up as "hunting for pips" then turn off your PC and go and do something else.
