New NFA Compliance Rule 2-43 w/re to 4x....
(sorry if this has already been addressed here)
NFA has received notice that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has approved new NFA Compliance Rule 2-43 regarding forex orders. The prohibition on carrying offsetting transactions will be effective for any positions established after May 15, 2009. The requirements regarding price adjustments will become effective as to all customer orders executed after June 12, 2009.
Offsetting Transactions
New Compliance Rule 2-43(b) requires an FDM to offset positions in a customer account on a first-in, first-out basis, thereby prohibiting a trading practice commonly referred to as "hedging." A customer may, however, direct the FDM to offset same-size transactions even if there are older transactions of a different size. Rule 2-43(b) is effective for any positions established after May 15, 2009. Offsetting positions that were established prior to the effective date do not have to be liquidated, but once either position is closed out after May 15, it may not be reestablished as a hedge.
Price Adjustments
For orders executed after June 12, 2009, Compliance Rule 2-43(a) will prohibit an FDM from adjusting executed customer orders, with two exceptions. The first exception is where the adjustment is done to settle a customer complaint in favor of the customer. The second exception is where an FDM exclusively operates a "straight-through processing" model and the liquidity provider with which it entered into the automatic offsetting position changes the price of an executed order with the FDM.
Pursuant to the new rule, an FDM that adjusts an executed customer order based on an adjustment by a liquidity provider must provide notice to the affected customer within fifteen minutes of the customer order being executed. The notice must state that the FDM intends to cancel or adjust the order and must include documentation of the price adjustment from the liquidity provider. The FDM must either cancel or adjust all customer orders executed during the same time period and in the same currency pair or option regardless of whether they were buy or sell orders. All cancellations or adjustments of executed customer orders must be reviewed and approved by a listed principal of the FDM who is also an associated person. Such review must be in writing and include the documentation from the liquidity provider, and the written review and documentation must be provided to NFA at forex@nfa.futures.org. Finally, any FDM that may elect to cancel or adjust executed customer orders based upon liquidity provider price changes must provide customers with written notice of that fact prior to the time they first engage in forex transactions.
A copy of new Compliance Rule 2-43 is attached for your convenience. NFA's submission letter to the CFTC contains more detailed explanations of the changes, and you can access an electronic copy of the letter at:
http://www.nfa.futures.org/news/PDF/CFTC/CR2_43_ForexPriceAdj_112408.pdf
Questions concerning these changes should be directed to Edward Dasso, Managing Director, Compliance (edasso@nfa.futures.org or 312-781-1551) or Lauren Brinati, Senior Manager, Compliance (lbrinati@nfa.futures.org or 312-781-1215).
Part 2 - RULES GOVERNING THE BUSINESS CONDUCT OF MEMBERS REGISTERED WITH THE COMMISSION
* * *
RULE 2-43. FOREX ORDERS.
(a) Price Adjustments
(1) A Forex Dealer Member may not cancel an executed customer order or adjust a customer account in a manner that would have the direct or indirect effect of changing the price of an executed order except when:
(i) the cancellation or adjustment is favorable to the customer and is done as part of a settlement of a customer complaint; or
(ii) if a Forex Dealer Member's platform exclusively uses straight-through processing such that the Forex Dealer Member automatically (without human intervention and without exception) enters into the identical but opposite transaction with another counterparty (creating an offsetting position in its own name) and that counterparty cancels or adjusts the price at which the position was executed.
(2) With regard to cancellations or adjustments made pursuant to section (a)(1)(ii), a Forex Dealer Member must:
(i) provide written notification to the customer within fifteen (15) minutes of the customer order having been executed that it is seeking to cancel the executed order or adjust the customer's account to reflect the adjusted price provided by the Forex Dealer Member's counterparty, as applicable, and the written notification must include documentation of the cancellation or adjustment from the Forex Dealer Member's counterparty; and
(ii) either cancel or adjust all executed customer orders executed during the same time period and in the same currency pair or option regardless of whether they were buy or sell orders.
(3) Notwithstanding section (a)(2)(ii), a Forex Dealer Member may choose to honor transactions in which customer orders resulted in profits for the customers but must do so with regard to all similarly situated customers.
(4) Cancellations and adjustments to executed customer orders must be reviewed and approved by a listed principal that is also an NFA Associate. Such review and approval must be documented by a written record, must include any supporting documentation, and must be provided to NFA in the manner requested by NFA.
(5) A customer order is considered executed upon the earlier of the customer receiving notification of the execution price from the Forex Dealer Member or when the position established by such order is identified in the customer's account, whether electronically or otherwise.
(6) If a Forex Dealer Member may cancel or adjust an executed order under the circumstances provided for in section (a)(1)(ii), the FDM must provide customers with written notice that the Forex Dealer Member may cancel or adjust executed customer orders based upon liquidity provider price changes prior to the time they first engage in forex transactions with the Forex Dealer Member. The notice may be included in a customer agreement.
(7) Any provision in a customer agreement or any contract between a Forex Dealer Member and a customer that reserves to the Forex Dealer Member the right to make price or equity adjustments to a customer account except as allowed by this Rule is prohibited.
(b) Offsetting Transactions
Forex Dealer Members may not carry offsetting positions in a customer account but must offset them on a first-in, first-out basis. At the customer's request, an FDM may offset same-size transactions even if there are older transactions of a different size but must offset the transaction against the oldest transaction of that size.
bless your compassionate heart.....
my partner is the feline expert & she will be happy to hear of what u r doing...she does similar stuff all the time....traps ferrals, etc....good stuff.
Indeed....there's just so much more that needs to be done....my goal is to one day put the venture out of biz....tho sadly I don't think that'll ever happen. Euthanasia rates aint goin down anytime soon & all the unscrupulous backyard breeder/hoarder situations seems to be gettin more & more oudda control these days.
So many more laws that can be written to arm the authorities w/more ammo so they can actually do something about all this.
Unreal how archaic the animal welfare niche is....w/tech the way it is we could be doing such a better job of it all. & this is pretty much in a nutshell how/why the Rescue Finder venture was born.
OK......sorry....can't seem ta keep the trap shut...u know me....guess I haven't changed much...over the past 2 mos...lol
Anyone ever wanna talk more...the contact info is there on the home page....feel free ta give me a holler anytime...if only just ta say hi. Sorry to take up the OT bandwith.
OK....gotta run....back ta doin whatever it is that I'm doin? lol
hehe......OK...Oanda still loves me.....
long xau 881.63.....back ta 1K baby...'n I don't care if the banks are passin their latest round of stress tests....nothin but some meaningless short term good news imo. We're still toast imo :0
& yes.....be advised this is stircktly playin around w/the demo acct...jus wanna be sure I keep the wheels lubed from time ta time.
OK....back to da biz @ hand....so it's back to the back of the class for yours truly.
Cheers Mates!! ;)~
Well that sure was a few quick replies....wow!!!
& a major blush w/an ahhh-shuxx ta boot ;))
All's well...just unbelievably busy these days.....mix in the start up & I've been in overload mode to say the very least.
Just doin all I can ta keep our family's head above the ever rising water line....cc's continue boostin up our rates from sub 10% to 13.99-15%....yada yada yada. Waiten on a lil of the Obama "hope" to filter on down to us lil p'on's ;)~
Anyways....no 1 likes a cry baby so I best take my ball & go home ;)~
I'll try better to pop in more often....at least shoot for a barrage of posts once a week or so....maybe Fri's after the mrkts have closed so as to not muck up the board w/OT babble as I have a history of doin :0
'n a shout out to the CaT of course...& I trust ol' So Cal/SD Jester is still kicken 'roun da joint here as well....sure do miss all those classic pix...hehe
& Javalin....jus saw your reply there from several weeks ago...pet groomin for 30+ yrs...WOW!!! When we're ready to begin promoting the animal welfare site I'll be sure ta let ya know. Right now it's still very much a work in progress....sooo much still ta do as far as content goes. So you've been forwarned....but here it is just the same so you can bookmark it if ya want & check up on us from time ta time....tho dontcha be expectin much until June or thereabouts.
www.rescuefinder.org
Cheers ya'll & as always, my very best to all & your fams....sure hope we come out da other side of all this mess in decent shape. :0
April Currency Trader
http://www.currencytradermag.com/downloads/index.php
took me jus a few days this mos ta get the link posted here....lol
& I see where I've lost my MOD doodies here & have been replaced by a few new/different faces :0
No worries....agreed in that it's best this way as I don't forsee myself havin all too much 4x time in my future...at least until I get the non profit all up & kicken. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll be able to focus moreso on the currencies.
Come to think of it....I best go try & login to the Oanda acct ta make sure they haven't disabled me :0
Don't think I've even done so much as 1 trade over the last mos or 2 now.
Hope all's been well w/every1.
Cheers!!
"As The Currencies Turn" ;)~
thx for gettin me up ta speed.....much better than goin thru 2K worth of posts....hehe Guess I should be happy no one is knocked up & or has been cheated on or being held for ransome in some dingy dungeon basement :0
& no, I haven't spoken w/anyone on the phone.....I have chatted w/the CaT on ocasion..think I gave him a holler while I was on the road doin a rescue transport back in Jan or Feb...other than that, I'm way behind w/all the haps here.
Jester movin down SD way ya say....just the vision in my head of him at the beach w/that coffee cup & dry toast gives me a coast to coast wide smile.....then add a surf board in there for good measure & now I'm totally rollin oudda my chair ;)~
Off to Frys this AM....aka Daddy's Disneyland...selling my laptop to a fellow BOD (my non profit partner) & addin a few bucks to that & upgraden to a lil Toshiba....a 160GB on 2 gigs. My old one...a cheap lil GQ is 40GB that I upgraded from a 512 RAM to a gig. My buddy who works for Oracle as a server admin is goin w/me & then gonna be doin his thang afterwards....cleanin up the GQ for my friend & adden a few more bells 'n whistles onto the new Toshiba. It's a base model that's reg price is around $540....$100 off at Frys thru Tues while supplies last. So I'll be oudda pocket approx $200 after it's all said 'n done...not bad considering I'll be goin from a 40GB to 160 & uppin the RAM by 100%....hehe
So for approx $200 the venture gets 2 laptops....an upgraded, gently used laptop for someone who doesn't have a computer & then & a new squeeky clean Toshiba for the "Boss" ;)~
Now how many businesses do you know of that can get 2 laptops for a lil over $200? Gotta keep that overhead down ya know....after all, it is a non profit :0
OK...gl all w/PYPS....make it all today so ya can sit back & relax for the rest of the week ;))
Currency Trader is out.....March!!! ;)~
http://www.currencytradermag.com/downloads/index.php
See how behind I am...& Nettles, you thot the last MIA stint was a long one 4 me....lol
W/re to the move to Canada comment (I did go back & read a few posts in that thread)....grass in always greener. As bad as it is stateside....I guess I'd much rather be here now a dayze than anywhere's else....then again...word is Canada is now the new #1 :0
Haven't been pay'n any attn whatsoever the last 2+ weeks....really deep into gettin the non profit goin now. & who woulda thunk...a non profit is the best idea I've had so far in terms of a money making opp....talk about an oxymoron....or whatever the word for that is? Contradiction in terms perhaps? lol
Any CaT sightings as of late or does he continue to be MIA as well?
Hope all's been well w/every1 out in d'4x hood.
& if anyone ever wants ta say hi cuz they aint been gettin their usual Worn dose (as if...lol)....by all means, drop me a howdy from time ta time....I really don't see myself hangin out all too much....but will at least try to do a lil better job of stoppin by ta let ya know I'm still breathen.
rob@rescuefinder.org
one of these days I'll be able to remove the "Under Construction" sign....so far the only content we have up is the Mission Statement & Contact Info. The goal is to begin promoting the site by early June....or sooner with any luck.
& go right ahead & feel free ta call me as well if ya'd rather....u know me, the written word aint such a strength of mine...ta say the very least :0
Enjoy that March CT (assuming no one else has posted the link...I'm usually the only one who ever has in the past) & I'll try & put the link to the April CT up by the end of week 2..lol
Cheers!!
Thx to ya's 4 da warm frat greets....like walkin back in the door after bein away ;))
I hear ya Jester w/re to the refund. Usually by now we're gettin ours too but this yr has been a rare tax procrastination yr....still workin on gettin'em done....got the easy parts done a week or so ago...now I gotta do the real work w/all the rental report'n b4 I fire it all off to the accountant. Funny.....I put in ALL the #'s where they go & do most of everything else....then he looks'em all over...not sure what else he does other than charge the $600 & send'em out? lol
& of course he takes no responsibilty should the tax man come a knockin...tphhfftt!!! Which he never has thankfully.
Yeah....usually our refund takes care of 50% of the prop taxes so that's why I get'em in early...so we have the refund by early April at the latest...tho this yr Arnie was threatening refund IOU's & quite frankly, I was a believer that was gonna be happen'n so I figured, no rush this yr. We'll much to my (happy) surprise they finally did ink a state budget.
OK....back to "work" for me...as much as one can get done w/the ankle bitter run'n amuck. :0
Once the mrkt winds down for the week I'll return a lil later on & fill the place up w/a few rants ala Worn & even give ya the non profit update/skinny.
In short, I (we) hope to be on a real honst to goodness VC server later on today...this outfit has offered my venture free web hosting & support/consulting. Of course by being on a VC server we'll be able to have more professional lookin email addys....instead of the cheesy hotmail addy we have I'll be able to have a .org addy w/my name in it...good stuff.
Hopefully they'll (Ocean Eclipse) will also come thru w/round 1 of a lil seed $$$ in a few mos. Tho of course since the mrkts are in the crapper OEV is a lil timid right now to throw any $$$ our way..or anywhere's else for dat maddah. So even tho I'm a Chick'n Lil Doom 'n Gloomer, u know me, I am a rootin BIG TIME for camp Obama ta do SOMETHING....ANYTHING & PRONTO!!!
OK...havin said that...back to 4x & all things finance.....& speakin of which.....what's da 10-20 (aint that the location call?) on da' feline roady? Hope all's been well on that front.....guess maybe I should go take a gander at the GT site for any recent update(s).
Back a lil later on....& a Fri Worn cheers 2 all my 4x Frenz ;)~
Ahh..u sure b 1 lil Sweetie of a Sweetie.....
no time for 4x.....guess itza good thing I (we) couldn't gedda March comp off da ground...woulda been hard pressed to hit the minimum 2 trades/week....lol
Still workin on gettin the non profit off the ground & hope that it will be this way for quite sometime....which would mean things continue to roll in this direction.
Tho it sure as heck don't mean I aint thinken 'bout all my 4x Buds 'n Budettes.
Really ugly out there...but for those who know Worns take on it all....can't say that I'm da least bit surprised....still thinken 5,750 is a 50/50....or better now...or at least a better prop than the last time I was here....a lil under a week ago was it?
Unemployment is in the 5th/6th inning as is everything else.....here's y I say this.....it's March (OK, u know that...lol) & I happen to subscribe to the thot that the balance of '09 is toast & IF we're too see any foothold for the econ it'll be early 2010 @ best.
Now I recall this time last yr when things really began to look sour...tho many were hopin it would only last a few mos..maybe a Q or 2 b4 a decent recovery (tho most of us here knew much better of course...not so sure I can include you in on that 1 Daiello....lol) & thus we were hearin a late '08 recovery & surely by end of Q1 '09. Well here we are & things are bleeker than ever.....heck, even Jester's Obama dry toast is lookin dark 'n crusty 'round d'edges these days :0
As for me, I continue ta think it's foolish at best for anyone to make calls more than 2 Q's out...no one knows what "fixes" the Obama regime will try & put into play....let alone when. Thus far however the mrkt is voting a HUGE NO CONFIDENCE in whatever it is camp Obama is tryin ta do here.
Having said that, I see no reason to even begin thinking there's any light at the end of the tunnel....& if anyone tries telling you they do indeed see a light...careful now....could be the Midnite Express rollin your way (this is where I start singen..."I got d'ol Instanbul Blues):0 If anyone gets that ref than they get the prize for the day.....which is nuttin more than a lil pride 'n props from your buddy Worn ;)~
OK....to keep it simple here (you know me, that's my M.O.) unemployement will continue to go up for at least another Q or 2 (hunchin any further out is message board fodder) & we all know things can not improve when folks aint makin money....unless of coruse they're Jester's on d'Obama free ride program...so perhaps there is a lil of that "hope" still left ;)~
& I wont even bother to go into all the dirty deets as we all know those are on the ugly side as well.
So there ya go....Dow 5750 lookin bettah 'n bettah as we "March" on (sorry...hard ta put at least 1 of my lame arse double entandre's in there)...tho one thing that continues ta baffle me.....I don't know about you JRB & all u other Goldbuggers....I'm havin a hard time understanding why it is that gold is sub 1200...& that's a conservative # I feel....heck, I think it should be closer to 1,500/oz.
Sure wreaks of manipulation imo...as in, maybe Uncle Sam & da powers that be dont wanna be freakin folks out anymore than they already are...& having the xau @ those #'s would simply be a confirmation of just how bad things really are. I don't know...all I know is gold was higher when things were better....& that's not to say things were all that good when gold was higher..the last time it busted thru 1K.
On that note....xau to 1500 later on this yr...& yes, I do think that's a conservative figure. Once the powers that be let the chains of manipulation go w/that, it'll take no time at all for it ta rally well north of 1200....& really, if it does indeed play out as such, what's stoppin it from a 1750-2K handle?
OK....eggo time here.... & give my regards to Chick'n Lil who continues 2 b on the mark thus far.....& on that note, 1 mo Daiello dig (hehe).....dis'here be 1 ugly 'n mighty double bottom....need I remind you? lol
Cheers my fellow 4x Guru's.
P.S.
d'CaT still MIA? Sure hope all's well "on the road again"
Sure....I can handle that....d'Donald ranks up there in my book 2....especially these days....after all, who else can pull of goin banko & come out da other end smellin like a freshly bloomin springtime rose? ;)~
March Contest was rejected for some reason by Oanda...
was it cuz I stipulated all contestants must post who they are on IHUB?
I haven't a clue.....so sorry folks (Sherri & whoever the 3rd person was?) don't know why I got the Oanda boot there?
Maybe we can start up another one that begins a lil later on in the mos?
Truth be known I wasn't all too pleased w/jus 3 of us....shame on you all who dint sign on....lol
Seriousley tho....as mentioned, it aint like I got a ton o'time to be messin around w/the demo thing these days anyway....& if I did.....jus imagine how dangerous I'd be....199% last mos & I was jus 'kidden' (pun intended) 'round....lol
I aint so pleased in "my man" as of late.....gettin harsher than usual press.....1st he says he's a buyer of US equities...but how he's really been settin it all up (from my understanding....havin been payin real close attn on the matter....jus da usual sound bites) is that he stands to do well if the US continues to tank.
Kinda sounds as if he's tryin ta play both sides of the fence....which I totally understand of course....it's just not like him to either mislead & or not be entirely forth coming w/his genl position.
Ya can't (or shouldn't) go around sayin u r a buyer of US equities here & then stand to gain as it continues to falter.
Maybe d'dreaded alzheimer's is maken its' way in...sure hope not....overall I love the man.....as far as I am concerned, he's still the grandpappy of US equities/finance.
I am....got tons of start up venture work ta do today.....1st honest ta goodness meetin w/another BOD member later on that I need to prep for.
So I'm tryin ta get a lil personal stuff done earleir than usual for a Sun....bills, workin on taxes & cleanin up the place.....the meeting is here...lol
Bein that itza non profit watchin the $$'s are even more important.
Guess that person who posted here back when is no longer around....wasn't there someone here who was a former dog groomer or somethin like that...maybe a DVM Tech?
Anyway....it's an animal welfare non profit....& today's Sun AM front page headline...."Non Profits Hit Hard Times"
Wonderful!!! now there's a nice early AM how do ya do.
Then again I very much expect this to be the case...I do follow 4x & the mrkts in genl ya know...lol
Of course we gotta be creative (as the article states) & try & use the net to network even more so.....some NP's may even join forces & merge which aint all that bad of an idea in this enviornment/mrkt dynamic.
I do have an Angel who wants to invest (he's been providng free consulting & has offered free web hosting services (I'll have a professional lookin email addy up soon instead of my cheesey lil hotmail box I've been usin) & he says when the equities pick back up & his investments begin to show some returns, it'll rain on my venture a bit...maybe come Spring or early summer. Nice thing is it should cost approx 6-8K to get full lift off....not much by VC standards at all. & 1 benefit is....being that itza non profit, we'll be taxed on a different level...an added bonus when making the Pitch.
NO Fed tax & the State tax is minimal.....then again Arnie's been mess'n w/that too as of late...."Mr. ol' Vee vont vraise u r taxes....u can count on dat"....yea right, tphhhfftt!!!
OK....enuff Sun AM OT...back ta work....
Hey Gurl...can I hit ya back?.....
how can ya not love d'lil dude....even when spitten up :0
Is that a scuba tank.....or Worn's oversize coffee thermos?
but what about Jester's play acct?
Or do we not acknowledge our losses & only our winners? That live acct is a winner I hope...no kidden 'round w/that one.
But agreed.....Worn feels confident w/the training wheels for now....was live for a spell there but that was just to play 'round ta see how d'blood changes.
As mentioned, I just don't have ample time to give it all the undividing attn it deserves & requires. It's like when I go to Reno.....I don't like to play games were the odds are stacked too far against me....AND ONLY play games (Sportsbook) for which I know inside 'n out. I hate playin 21 b/c I don't have a decent card countin system....I know one of the systems but not well enuogh ta feel as if I can implement it on a steady 'n consistent basis.
Anywho....yes, I'll say it again since we seem ta have several new faces 'round....ALL of my calls are on a demo acct...BUT know that when I do make the calls, for the most part, they are calls for which satisfy my genl parameters.
& as you can see by last mos record.....if folks woulda mirrored me they woulda fared fairly well. Just gotta be able ta stomach that drawdown......& 50K is quite sufficient....works for me...lol
LOVE that pic Generic.....
WOOF!!!
Have yet to get all caught up....still tons of posts per each 24 hr window here...at least way more so than usual....don't get me wrong....VERY good stuff. Just wish I had me the time ta keep up.
On that note....have we properly acknowledged the Feb Winner? ;)~
Guess I should go see if I can approve the folks who've signed on for March....gotta few 4x mins here this early left coast AM ...& yes, w/my warm wknd venti quad soy Buxter in hand...no cheap ass Obama beans 'n dry Jester toast here....were goin down in a flame of glory here....'n proud of it :o
For fans of ol' Maxine
"Bail Out
Back in 1990 the govt seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in NV for for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.
They failed & it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country & OUR banking system to the same Nit-witz who couldn't make money running a whore house & selling whiskey."
This really makes it all even sacrier! :0
go w/your gut 'n do d'opposite....
now I see 3 who've requested to join but seems the contest itself is still pending approval (by Oanda I imagine)....thus I gotta assume I can't approve any pending requests til Oanda gives us the 2 thumbs up.
unless anyone knows otherwise I will asumme this is the case.....3 so far & as always...the more the merrier....& BTW....who is #3? In my best Emmineem....."will #3 please stand up please stand up!
So far there's yours truly (Raiderdad) & Sherri.
https://fx2.oanda.com/mod_perl/fxcontest/fxcontest.pl?rm=contestDetails&contestId=1045

Tho Reno is more my budget :0
OK....only 8 more left...time ta make'em count.
Happy Fri all....seems like a choppy day (more so than usual) settin up so indeed....caution should be exercised....especially bein that it's an EOM Fri ta boot.
I went over to the contest admin page, logged in & still can't figure out what it is (how) I'm supposed ta do to approve requests....I see 2 requests still pending (mine & Sherri's I assume) but see no link to where I can go to actually approve....wonderin if it's b/c Oanda hasn't officially approved the contest itself quite yet? That to is still pending I think.
Remember....the admin here is someone whose been known ta join the wrong contest himself...should that worry us? :0
Agreed Nettles...today could be just as tricky as any Sunday.....so why not...let's start the wknd a lil early....on that note....ya know what makes me ill.....someone thinking a 25M/yr Sal aint enuff.

Guess I'll go look....I signed up myself but have yet to figure out if I (contest admin) needs to be approved.....anyone know how to approve? Jester, CaT, et al?
Do I owe d'CaT an apology?
I didn't mean ta have him take his ball & go home....don't see him on the stat page anymore? Let alone here. Hope all's well....anyone hear from him?
OK.....I'll assume it's closed/over so I'll just play around this AM a bit....

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -
