    Trader accused of high-speed trading to make millions in 'illicit profits'

    Oh, he most certainly owes taxes as most of the expenses claimed to offset the huge income were likely not related to the business of trading. I think I read that in one year with 7 million in revenue, he claimed a net loss profit-wise on his trading company's tax return. Now that's ridiculous...

    Oanda bizarre order handling...

    They are obviously treating your order as a STOP order, not a LIMIT order. Sell stops are when order price is below market and vise-versa for buy stops. It appears you did not specify the correct order type.

    QE Lead To Deflation?

    The reason for this: The regulators are in bed with the likes of CME Group's Duffy and others. This is such B.S. They are going after the "small frys".

    Selling naked puts option strategy

    Sell puts only if it's a credit spread type of position. Otherwise you'll eventually end up like Vic Niederhoffer.
