so worth busting your data cap for.

You still have a data cap? Who is your ISP?

xnet $1.00 a gig, VOIP phoneline, bye bye telecom!

i think I need more than luck to pass exams on tax and law and insurance stuff and understand equations like this for share value analysis
so I guess I better do some study!

noticed an arbitrage opportunity this morning - doesnt happen often in forex.
EurUSD had gone about about 40 pips with a 20 pip spread.. Of course dont usually trade under these conditions
but USDCHF or EURCHF hadnt moved no doubt just due to the thinness of trading.
Sure enough bang USDCHF dropped 40 pips a bit later.

USD/CHF dropped 50 pips last week(spike),eur/usd just sat there for a while then away it went in the opposite direction,gave lots of time to get the jump,which is why I have apposing pairs such as these on the screens at all times as one will often give you the jump on the other to varying degrees.
