    Major Market Makers

    Just wanted to know if there was a place that listed all of the MAJOR Market Makers positions that heavily influence FX. Also something that shows FX option strike prices would be beneficial. I'm more or less looking for the things that supply Support and Resistance you can not typically find in your technical indiors.

    Any comments is appreciated. Thanks.

    AlphaPip,


    FXCMtr possess a demo platform with a news plugin you can add in, it's the exact same feed as COESfx uses but with a much nicer interface, also with an added extra called an Order Board, it basically provides a overview of a number of this Option Barriers, Bids, Offers and Stops, RUMORED to be floating about. You still need to sift through the news items seperately since the Order Board just skims above the information and sometime they don't cover everything. Just put in a .com to some of the above addresses to see their web site. Here is an interesting item.

    [04:23 GMT May 10th] Talk of large [USD/JPY] 107.95-116.50 double no-touch options expiring June 28. Pay-out $10 mln. (hello )

    I am new at this and am trying to figure out which, if any of these levels, are a great place to draw support or resistance lines....

    Thank you for the heads up! That's a much nicer interface.

    To answer your question, try 5-10 pips before the choices...

    Thanks all for your input. I love the link Jos. I consider myself a newbie and I am trying to gather as much information as I can. It just appears that several times each month there is a big swing which is not preceded by some technical or economical indior, and you find out later that the Bank of Japan or any other huge Market Maker made a huge purchase to protect an option strike or something. Was just hoping to loe information that would limit the blind-sided swing like this.

    I am new in this and am trying to figure out which, if at least one of these levels, would be a fantastic place to attract support or resistance lines....

    Deanz - Simply to know your case above, it says that GBP/USD provides are in 1.8700 and 1.8730/35. Should I presume that those points will offer resistance because that is where the Big mammals are searching to sell out and T/P?

    AlphaPip,

    What Darkstar just said was to attempt 5-10 pips ahead.... Of where Alternatives are said to reside.

    I had been trying to make sence, after the fact, of this move in the EUR/USD, from the news articles form FXCM, perhaps it is of assistance to somebody. Comment on what you see if you really feel like it. The zip file contains a screen capture that is bigger.

    Dean.

    EDIT: Woops, the Chart time is not GMT, but GMT 1
