It's scary how real psychopaths( serial killers, cannibals...) look like you and I. They are a lot harder to recognize physionomically than usual criminals driven by drugs, gangs and so on. You would be a lot more likely to listen to them if they ring at your door... I don't know a lot about...

Petra Nemcova. :)

A farmer that have been pushed under poverty line by rising food costs around the world. Yeah. I would love to see the link with Zambia education system too. They forgot to talk about the orphan kid who goes to the mine to pay for his cancer treatment since the government cant' help anymore...

Common, it's not rocket science. The unknown part which require knowledge and experience is the farming and crop evaluation ( his work ). He would end up paying large fees to have a guy in suit submit the same order.

Nice thread. Keep it going.:cool:

Thanks. So you still had to have a long stock position at first... I knew stock traders were avoiding the uptick rule using options but I didn't know it was called "bullets".

Nobody on the futures side to share 1 or 2 tricks that stopped working?:)

Hydroblunt, What were bullets and conversions?

I think it is never optimal to show such size in a thin market, he should have at least used icebergs, alternating passive buy orders and removing asks... Moreover, there must be some way to fill bigger size in FCOJ directly, through a pit local or a block trade IMO.

"The territorial application of the proposed FTT and the Member States’ taxing rights are defined on the basis of the residence principle. In order for a financial transaction to be taxable in the EU, one of the parties to the transaction needs to be established in the territory of a Member...

I don't remember but I doubt a player that dumb and obvious in his order placement can make money in the long run. For what I remember, once he was done, the price was then retracing to reach equilibrium so I think he had unrealized losses right after entering. It smelled institution entering...

The criteria is residence, not citizenship. You just have to move.

This should be an interesting thread if people starts to share. As long as the edge is gone, I think it shouldn't be a problem. - Around 2008, on Cotton NYBOT, sometimes you had an algo buying/selling around ask/bid and another algo selling /buying at midpoint. So for example, you just waited...

In the GFS News article : "The draft directive reads: "Where the establishments concerned are located in the territory of a state which is not part of the Union the transaction is not subject to FTT in the EU, unless one of the parties to transaction is established in the EU in which case the...
