Electronic Spot Forex Markets
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2003 11:18 pm
I have limited risk capital and I find the mini forex contracts offered by gain capital, fxadvantage, etc. to be very appealing.
I have been researching and trading in the electronic spot forex market for the last six months and pending further analysis of cross rates I will be launching my systems on these markets. But first a few questions:
Does anyone with experience trading these markets have any suggestions, pros, cons, etc?
What are thoughts on the validity of an investment approach focusing on only these instruments? Initially I plan to only trade G7 currencies. For reference John Henry currently offers three programs focusing solely on currencies. http://www.jwh.com/templ007.cfm
Finally, any suggestions for obtaining cash forex data for cross rates?
