    Samuel Araki wrote a new blog post: The Joy of Olympic Madness   6 months, 3 weeks ago

    As the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics were getting closer and closer – as the months quickly turned from September to October to November to December – Christmas and New Year’s passed – I was pretty apathetic about what was soon to hit our beautiful city.

    I complained – groused that there wasn’t much Olympic [...]

    The team here will tell you that I have a love affair with white board sketches. I just love writing thoughts, processes, anything, really, on white boards. I have a particular white board that I love to write on – which you can probably tell below.

    We’ve recently had folks tell us how confusing [...]

    Samuel Araki wrote a new blog post: Trader Diagnostics, Trader Evaluation   6 months, 4 weeks ago

    Diagnostics sounds too much like a car going through some testing. So I think evaluation is a better descriptor.

    Whatever the case, we’re working with a potential partner right now who has developed a Trader Diagnostic program, where a trader can continually see where he/she is strong/weak in their trading.

    We’ll [...]

    Samuel Araki wrote a new article: Trading Expectations Gone Wrong   7 months ago

    Who has lost their lunch trading? I’m sure if you did, you’d be the last to admit it. Unfortunately I know many who have lost a lot of money trading Forex. Recently, I seem to have had more poor trading records shared with me than at any other time. So I decided to [...]

    Samuel Araki wrote a new article: CFTC Regulations on Forex   7 months, 3 weeks ago

    I posted a comment on a LinkedIn discussion today – a little random, but as a trader I see the motivations of the NFA and CFTC as … interesting. It’s no secret that US-based accounts have been fleeing for off-shore dealers, who are reaping the benefits of CFTC regulations. I guess in the CFTC’s mind, [...]

    I just came across a great white paper today entitled “The Inconvenient Truth About Active Investing.” Steve Merrell is the founder of Willow Ridge Capital Advisors and he writes of how he changed his views on Active vs. Passive investing – and the fact that Passive is the way to go. Read through and [...]

    Strange really. Weeks go by with no or relatively little news from Forex brokers, then in the days leading up to US Thanksgiving, a number of things come out. Yesterday Interbank FX sends a notice out that it has officially announced plans to open a United Kingdom office (Interbank FX UK [...]

    The recent revelations of a International Energy Administration whistleblower that the IEA may have distorted key oil projections under intense U.S. pressure is, if true (and whistleblowers rarely come forward to advance their careers), a slow-burning thermonuclear explosion on future global oil production.
    The Bush administration’s actions in pressuring the IEA to underplay the rate of [...]

    NW Trader … There are some stock, options and futures groups in Vancouver … Meetup.com is a place that seems to be the best to find such groups. I haven’t been to any of them myself, but if you just search for Vancouver and whatever type of group you’re looking for, you’ll find one or [...]

    Much has been made over the past year or two about the evolution of the Forex industry and how Introducing or Referring brokers are compensated.

    To be fair higher margin requirements isn’t solely on FXCM as it is something that the NFA has mandated be implemented by Nov. 30, 2009. What is interesting is how FXCM has decided to approach this. There are two different announcements it sent out to its US (or FXCM LLC) customers and its [...]
