Let's watch the daily traded volume as of monday. I don't think we need to wait for some quarterly exchange report to see what happens.

Have a link for that one?

"High-frequency trading will be regulated for the first time in Germany after a parliamentary committee approved a bill requiring firms that use the computer- driven strategies to register with banking authorities....The proposed law wants to change that in such a way that, even if it’s only...

Day-to-day financial activities of ordinary citizens and businesses (e.g. insurance contracts, mortgage and business lending, credit card transactions, payment services, deposits, spot currency transactions etc.) are excluded from the FTT, in order to protect the real economy; Does this mean...

What time is it scheduled for today and is there some live coverage?

This will probably make the Dutch government say yes to the FTT. http://blogs.wsj.com/brussels/2013/01/08/from-obscurity-to-eurogroup-chief/ Appointing Dijsselbloem as president of the eurogroup is a smart thing to if you want a country to shut up and just follow, so you can force...

The fdax @ 7600 is worth 7600 x €25 = 190000 A . 01% means an extra €19 to a one-side trade, €38 roundturn. A roundturn now is < €4 when using the right retail broker. That is about ten times the current costs, you need 2 full points in profits to get even plus à little gain. When...

Allways nice to see some "great" political ideas,being withdrawn in a year. In this case the idea wasn't even such a bad thing. First this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15137948 And then that: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20280863 As said by the ministry: 1...

Actually this doesn't have to be a bad thing. When a bunch of countries start implementing FTT themselves and see that it doesn't give them the revenues they expected (along with capital and company migration). Chances might increase that they won't back a EU wide tax that is powered and managed...

Wishing you a great ride some hours ago didn't help I guess. Too bad, just thought whow when I saw your first print. Don't they have some build in feature to save some profit when some sort of up limit is reached? Just curious and won't judge, it's your style and I do respect that. When you...

Well that's a nice start! Have a great ride for the next 9 trading days! Care to add some trade info, levels/size etc?

Flying has never been a hobby (stupid fear) and trading the audchf most of the time, I am able to breath for another 2 years before they come up with more crap. Was thinking of getting started in bond futures aside from fx. Now that sucks.

There is only one thing when challenging anyone who uses TA. When they blow out, you can say something like: told you so... Where you will say when you blow out: Fair enough, when trading one can blow out, regardless what method is used. The difference is that anyone you challenge blows out...
