In 2008 plenty of orders were not filled. Probably even during SNB CHF euro cap removal. I don't think brokers were ever held responsible. I have been trading for over 10 years but never professionally and I find this thread to be one of the most informative in months. I wish users were kinder...

I like XRP ripple, I think it's a very interesting project. I like their speed and cost. Its market cap and centralisation a bit less, but it might be what banks and governments like. They will never adopt it as a currency (none of them alt) but they can use its safe and near instant ledger for...

Haven't use them for a while, but a few years ago I used to shop for eth on coinbase, send it to binance for low fees trading, convert it to the basket of coins I wantwd and send it to offline paper wallets. Leaving next to nothing on exchanges, and saving some fees by not using BTC to shop for...

Several institutions are introducing their own blockchains, I read about Spunta today, Italian banks proprietary blockchain for internal transfer. Some other are adapting to existing coins and using things like ripple. Some have tried to build their own without success. It will definitely be an...

I agree to the first part, they are not willing. They are also starting to embrace the technology, not much the currencies and it makes sense. But how could they stop them? I am curious technically speaking. Making them illegal and closing exchanges might give them strength after an initial...

Lockdowns in Europe are funny... The UK has a fake lockdown, although businesses are going to hell because forced shuts, people are free to wonder around. There are rules, but zero enforcement. Masks are compulsory in public transport but only 70% wears them. There are very little penalties...

If it's for long term holding I would buy the coins and store it cold offline, even on paper wallets with back up. I have not shopped for years but I know some exchange like coinbase are now offering cold storage vaults. For short term trading any decent derivatives should do.

What do you mean IB forcefully close ITM option? By assignment or cash settlement close? I was never forced anything until now.

Demo is like learning how to drive or fly on a simulator. Does that make you a good driver or pilot? Would I trust you with my life after simulator training Vs hrs of the real stuff? No way.

Maybe a difference on extrinsic value before expiration? Like a naked put running into bigger pnl drawdowns due to extreme volatilty, Vs underlying dd.

Maroccans control Europe drug trade? Ahah that is funny... maybe some hashish.... Meet the 'ndrangheta, this southern Italian crime syndicate controls the big deals. Opium and heroin from east to west, and cocain from west to east. And you will never see a Calabrian selling smoke at the corner...

Sweden just slashed gatherings and introduced measures. Spain mismanaged? You should come to the UK...

Not an expert here but a fellow option fan. I feel like adjustments work at best while in profit. An adjustment on a green position can protect it and/or enhance it. But on a losing position, like a sell gone ditm or flirting ITM close to expiry, adjusting feels a bit like a stop and reverse...

I see a lot of people can't spell Soros around here... Funny how many hate the left, but also hate capitalists like Buffet, a man born in another era who did extremely well for himself and is promising to give it all away. All about about hating each other, correct? Trump brainwash works very...

ICU's are filling up in some parts of Europe, this is worse than March, I hear this from people working in them. Keep kidding about covid.... Masks don't work because people don't know how to use them. Ignorance is the virus we should really worry about anyway. People and governments in the West...

No idea... But it's all relative. I could happily retire by the sun and never work again with the equivalent of some trader's stop loss.

Never liked Ichan since the Herbalife saga, but I read that Buffet gives away a lot to charity and intends to give away most of his wealth before he dies.

This one just became my favorite series. Very well done, I rarely watch series as they easly bore the hell out of me. I love chess so I am biased. But even for the non chess lover, the scenary, the acting and the story are very well done, with some great references. Anya Taylor-Joy is beautiful...

I think demo is good for beginners, to learn a new trading platform, leverage, explore brand new things like strategies or different instruments, options, futures. Once the know how is taken care of, is good to get the feet wet in my opinion. You can today trade in single dollars and cents...

Luckily I don't know him that well but you might be correct.
