FXUSD
Function X / United States dollar
crypto

Short version: for stocks and futures there's an exchange tape (CME for futures) that data vendors resell. For FX there's no single tape at all, because it's over-the-counter. Each bank or market maker streams its own quotes, and a broker aggregates a few of them and adds its own markup, which is why two brokers can show slightly different prices at the same second. For CFDs on crypto, indices or metals, the price on your chart is usually the broker's own quote built off some reference feed, not a print from the underlying market. So the three lines in one window can each come from a different place, and the chart you're looking at is the quote you could trade at rather than 'the market'. I don't know PrimeXBT's actual setup, so that part is general.

I love the FX senshi warrior manga. Can't put this shit down since yesterday. Fucking strangers for cash so you can fund your margin account is wild

**Four Macro Themes to Watch:**
**Fiscal Dominance** Fed balance sheet repair → Treasury personnel changes (Zervos) → Treasury searching for a breakthrough **（**Debt&rates**）**→ Potential future financial repression?
**VIX Dynamics** Liquidity squeeze → CCC credit spreads widening → Spilling over to drive up broad-market VIX?
**Japan Pivot** Fed rate hikes → US–Japan consultations → Joint FX intervention conditioned on rapid Japanese tightening?
**Geopolitical / Strait Dynamics** US–Iran diplomacy → Iran losing leverage → Desperate, all-out escalation by Iran?

I've been in FX trading for 7 years. Sa lahat ng nakilala at nakausap ko na "mentors" dalawa lang yung totoo talaga and maayos magturo.

Caress Gonzales, who used to be with the 30 minute trader, not sure kung nasaan na sya now, but she really worked in the trading room of a bank, and legit yung turo nya.

The other one is the trader's podcast, yung sa FITS 1 - 3, medyo nag lie low na din sya now, since ok kita nun sa trading.

Silang dalawa lang yung nagttrade talaga ng currency pairs, and not just rambling on xau/usd movements. Madaming gold traders, then m1 time frame nakatingin, tapos ang lalaki kumita, anlaki din matalo. That's not trading though, that's borderline gambling.

If you really want to learn to trade, study macro economics, interest rate differencials, and just the general economy of the 2 countries you're comparing the currencies with. Manage risk, manage expectations, and pwede ka na maging trader. Warning though, this life is boring. A setup can take days, or even weeks before it materializes.
Sa income din, 2-4% a month is already big. So if meron ka 10k usd, then 200-400 usd ang pwede mong expected income. Not as glamorous as the gurus say, but pag ganito kasi, it is repeatable and sustainable.

Personally, I have a few accounts for different strategies, but mababa lang ako mag withdraw, I earn about 500-900 a month, and happy na ako dun since I only do this for a few hours everyday. Please don't PM also asking for a strategy or what, since I do not share that, given that it is something I developed myself over the years. The best strategy is something you develop yourself, since it will suit your own capabilities, and trading psychology.

Sana mahanap mo yung FITS. Yun yung reason why I am profitable today.

Author also posts his FX trading journey (with manga royalties) on X. 😂

You don't know shit, what the Koreans/WSB are doing might as well be buying t-bills compared to complete retardation that is Japanese FX Milfs leveraged to their very soft and juicy ara ara tits.
The only thing that even comes close in stupidity is full porting 0DTEs on margin because at least that is only done for the memes (usually)

I haven't seen it but seeing as FX is one of the most efficient markets on the planet I just can't see how anyone would ever win that game.

author is a total active FX degen, posting P/L on twitter pretty frequent.

We now have an anime on trading:
"***FX Senshi Kurumi-chan*** (internationally localized as ***FX Fighter Kurumi-chan***) The story centers on university student Kurumi Fukuga, who plunges into the high-stakes world of foreign exchange (forex) trading to recoup 20 million yen lost by her late mother. Alongside her fellow trading enthusiasts, Kurumi navigates the emotionally volatile realities of market fluctuations, unrealized losses, and brutal loss-cuts.
Clip of her getting bulltrapped LOL:

I’m a 22-year-old FX trader who trades **EURUSD exclusively**, and I’ve been trading my current strategy for about year.
I’ve built my own framework, spent a lot of time studying, backtesting and trading it, and I genuinely believe I have a lot of potential. I’m also comfortable with the fact that trading is something I could continue figuring out through experience and learning from my own mistakes.
But I’ve reached a point where I think having an experienced trader beside me could accelerate that process tremendously.
**I’m not looking for signals, copy trading, or someone to hand me a strategy.**
I’m looking for someone who can look at my trading objectively and tell me:
* Where am I going wrong?
* What am I not seeing?
* What should I improve?
* What habits or mistakes are holding me back?
* What would you do differently if you were in my position?
I’m willing to put in the work. I genuinely believe **the best investment I can make right now is in myself**, and I’m looking for someone experienced who is willing to invest some of their knowledge and guidance into helping me develop as a trader.
I’m open to **paid or unpaid mentorship**. What matters more to me is finding someone who actually trades and is willing to genuinely guide another trader.
If you’re an experienced FX trader, or you know someone who might be a good fit, **I’d genuinely appreciate a DM.**

"Stop hunt" is muddying together several different things.
Stops absolutely cluster around predictable levels (NOTE: *cluster*, not "to the tick"). That’s not ICT lore. Carol Osler documented it using actual FX dealer order data: stops tended to cluster around round numbers and technical levels, and when triggered they could accelerate price through positive-feedback order flow. The NY Fed published the research.
But that's very different from saying "the market saw my stop and went there to take it."
You're paper trading, so obviously nobody is hunting *your* stop. And on CME, stop orders generally aren’t displayed as resting liquidity before they're triggered.
Actual deliberate stop running does exist. The CFTC has prosecuted precious metals traders for intentionally trading through levels to trigger customer stops they knew were there. But that's a very specific thing. A wick through a swing low followed by a reversal is *not* evidence that happened.
The more useful model is simpler.
There's an obvious low. Lots of traders independently put stops below it because they’re looking at the same structure. Price reaches that area. Stops trigger and become aggressive selling.
Then one of two things happens:
1. Passive buyers absorb that selling and price rejects the level.
2. Or they don't, and price keeps going.
Same "liquidity sweep". Completely different outcome.
So "wait for them to take the stops" isn't much of a trading model.
The reaction to the order flow is the information.
And if you're consistently right on direction but getting stopped first, test that instead of explaining it as "manipulation".
Take your next 50–100 setups. Measure the maximum adverse excursion (MAE) of trades that eventually worked. Compare that with your stop distance, local volatility, and where the trade was actually invalidated.
If your winners routinely trade through your stop first, your entry/stop model is wrong for the normal noise of the setup.
If they don't, you may just be remembering the spectacular "one tick through my stop and gone" cases.
One explanation is testable, the other is a story.

Can u explain further plz ? like : One purpose for the FCNR deposit was FX reserve , then why RBI swaps and defeat the purpose ? RBI swaps with banks right ? If so then isn't initial swaps of banks with RBI for USD to INR useless ?

I’m comparing an Activity Flex Query XML report with IBKR PortfolioAnalyst’s “Change in NAV” breakdown for the same cash account, date range (Aug 25–Sep 25, 2026), and base currency (CNH).
The MTM values differ:
• Flex XML mtm: 840.5028271 → 840.50 CNH
• PortfolioAnalyst MTM: 848.14 CNH
Beginning NAV, ending NAV, deposits/withdrawals, dividends, interest, and combined fees/commissions match.
The adjustment breakdown also differs. PortfolioAnalyst shows Other = −20.14 CNH. Flex has other = 0, with separate fields for withholding tax, changes in dividend/interest accruals, and FX translation. Those adjustment fields together total approximately −12.50 CNH.
Both breakdowns reconcile to the same ending NAV, but MTM differs by approximately 7.64 CNH, offset by the adjustment categories.
Does anyone know the exact classification difference between these two IBKR reports? Could cash FX effects or option exercise/assignment be allocated differently? Which Flex fields would let me reproduce PortfolioAnalyst’s MTM and Other separately?
I’d appreciate a documented mapping or a reconciliation example.

Goddam I just watched the new FX warrior anime (the one about forex trading) and that shit was too real and traumatic

The first episode of FX Fighter Kurumi-chan came out this past week. Its about a college girl trading the forex exchange trying to to get 20 million yen. The first episode had me laughing at the parallels to this place and options. Still has the traditional Japanese cartoon tropes so beware of those if they aren't your thing.

Friendly reminder: [WSB: The Anime](https://myanimelist.net/anime/63337/FX_Senshi_Kurumi-chan) starts today.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have practical experience with larger FX conversions on Interactive Brokers?
I’m considering the following:
\- deposit around 80M HUF to IBKR from my own Revolut account
\- convert part of it from HUF to CHF
\- invest part of the funds in ETFs
\- withdraw some CHF to my own Revolut account
I would also use IBKR for investing, but I’d like to occasionally take advantage of FX movements and make currency conversions (perhaps once a month) when it makes sense.
The main reason for using IBKR for the conversion is that its FX rates/fees seem significantly better than what I can get from my bank or Revolut/Wise.
A few questions:
Has anyone done something similar with IBKR, especially with larger amounts?
Could IBKR flag or restrict the account if some CHF is withdrawn relatively shortly after conversion?
Given that I would also be using the account for ETF investments, would occasional FX conversions and withdrawals still be considered acceptable, or could IBKR view this as “FX-only” / money-transfer-style usage?
Thanks!

20% a year.
I've been trading FX and Rate Swaps for 30 years (25 for banks and funds. 5 in retirement as a hobby)
Last year I made 25% which I am very happy with. Any of my previous employers would have been happy as well.
