MF Global missing hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money

Federal regulators have discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money has gone missing from MF Global in recent days, prompting an investigation into the brokerage firm, which is run by Jon S. Corzine, the former New Jersey governor, several people briefed on the matter said on Monday.
The recognition that money was missing scuttled at the 11th hour an agreement to sell a major part of MF Global to a rival brokerage firm. MF Global had staked its survival on completing the deal. Instead, the New York-based firm filed for bankruptcy on Monday.
Regulators are examining whether MF Global diverted some customer funds to support its own trades as the firm teetered on the brink of collapse.
The discovery that money could not be located might simply reflect sloppy internal controls at MF Global. It is still unclear where the money went.

International Forecaster September 2011 (#1) - Gold, Silver, Economy + More

The following are some snippets from the most recent issue of the International Forecaster. For the full 37 page issue, please see subscription information below.

WORLD MARKETS

We find it amusing that Mr. Bernanke in his press conference after the FOMC last week said, US bank exposure to Greece was minimal. We guess he forgot part of that $16.1 trillion and the credit default swaps from NYC banks to the tune of $150 billion. In addition we do not see the US and England escaping the fallout from Europe. From the very beginning 1-1/2 years ago we told Greece to default and that it was inevitable. Of course, the Greek government did not do that, because they wanted to hand their Illuminist friends Greek assets on a silver platter - that is public and private assets. When Greece goes eventually the other five will fall as well. Banks all over Europe are at risk even German savings banks, many US money market and pension funds have as much as 60% of their assets in instruments belonging to the six weaker nations. That represents a far greater risk than what Mr. Bernanke had admitted. The biggest question is what will the German Federal Court say? Investors had best check with their funds or advisor, or banks and S&L’s to determine just how hard they can get hit. If the Court says it is ok, then in Germany it has to be voted on. It probably will be rejected and that creates a new set of problems.

Quite frankly we cannot wait for the euros demise. National currencies will return and a great deal of malinvestment will come to an end. It is the best thing for Europe and the world. The mistake of the euro will be over and sovereign nations can return to reality, not some one-world driven philosophy.

The MetaTrader 5 trading platform is designed to service customers in Forex, CFD, Futures and Equity markets as well.

One of the main features that makes MetaTrader 5 superior to MetaTrader 4 is its architecture. A set of functions that were previously performed by one server, are logically divided between separate components in the new platform: a trade server; an access server; a history; and backup server. Such an organisation of internal interaction significantly increases the reliability and performance of the system. This translates to increased productivity, improved fault tolerance, greater stability and faster trade execution.
The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal is a perfectly equipped trader’s working tool that allows traders to create practically any trading system and actively manage it.  The platform contains all the trading functions a trader will ever need. All types of Orders are supported, with four types of trade Operation Execution available: Instant, Request, Market and Exchange.

For traders preferring to automate their trading, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is perfect. The MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user friendly. ML5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

In MetaTrader 4, you had the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN timeframes, but MetaTrader 5 introduces intermediate timeframes into the mix. Built-in indicators and graphical objects are used for quick analysis of quotes and trade decision-making. In summary, the terminal offers 3 types of charts, 21 timeframes and more than 70 analytical tools.
The terminal provides all the necessary tools needed to ensure full-fledged and flexible trading activities. With such a powerful trading arsenal, one can easily detect trends, various figures, entry-exit points and so much more, at just a click of the mouse. 
Here is an overview of the Metatrader 4 Trading Platform architecture.
