Blogs: ASF features Blogs on the website, however, these blogs are rather a billboard where forum members post messages not necessary relevant to forex trading.


High Points

The forum provides exceptional information about forex trading in Australia and is also sufficient to get general information about forex issues. The forum is set up with a Calendar which provides actual posts as per the day/week/month/year in question. However, this option is available only for registered users.

 
Low Points

A significant part of the published information is available for registered users only.
Only registered users can post, search the forums, view attachments and access other advanced features.

The organization of content is somewhat embarrassing, a visitor encounters the same threads in different subsections of the Forum.

Placement and Retraction of False Bids/Asks Prior to Open
I reckon Smack has a point as well: On many occasions, bidders and sellers are jostling to get the iap to where they want it. It's particularly obvious in the pre-open depths on options expiry day.
