They are always basically at the same price at the same time, as any difference gets arbitraged away. I did see some longer lasting difference, but that was only during non functional markets, ie. no liquidity in ADR / main market, prior to special corporate action, or very hard to borrow during...

Fees are 0.5% vs 0.03% That's basically the performance difference. Switzerland stocks are dominated by a few big ones, nestle, novartis, Roche basically

I'm from Switzerland. Did you compare total returns and currency ajusted? Swiss franc is about as strong as it gets a currency in the long run

Give me one advantage of CFDs over futures and stocks with DMA? I'm curious...

That, and additionaly they tend to charge outrageous margin rates

No taxes on capital gains (as in switzerland and other places) for the average joe, even if speculative. Highly active traders (net worth several 100k, with additional indications including using leverage, a lot of trades, living mainly off profits, using options) however are considered...

It was swiss national bank abanding eurchf floor of 1.20, markets in chf literally disappeared in a second and there were prints down to 0.80... it took hours before it became orderly again around 0.95-1.05. As someone pointed out even MKT orders in futures and stocks dont get immediately...

On stocks with market cap 1B+ this squeezing happens only very rarely. On small caps it's part of the game. You need a plan for this kind of behaviour, it can even happen right after 4am. Imo you should not short small or micro cap overnight unless you are confident managing squeeze risk, ie...

Using IBKR as main broker and AMP as alternative for futures since about a year. I love the additional functionalities IBKR has over AMPs metatrader, ie. Scaling orders, conditional orders (with the ability to combine conditions). IBKR and AMP both perform well imo, even during high volatility...

Fed rate is 3.75-4% and will raise next wednesday. You can take the yield on a treasury note with similar duration like the option you want to calculate. It was near 0 for a very long time, yes. On the 2nd question about trading systems. You are right to some extend, 5% net profit now on a...

I think acceptance of SAR and AED is because of customers from this region and no indication planned of market access.

For me benzinga squack is fine

Some were some not. Problem was that in many cases losses exceeded customer balances. Ibkr had such an issue when oil went negative (google it, a canadian guy lost almost 10 Million on <100k account). Ibkr had software glitch and miscalculated margin. They however did handle that well and just...

Or bad risk/margin managment. See EUR CHF floor pull by SNB, which busted some FX Brokers.

Similar situation. Assets in USD and EUR, spendings mostly in CHF. I use IBKR too with base currency CHF. I hedge with globex futures. Rollover not really an issue as spreads are tight on my pairs USDCHF CHFEUR (EURUSD). I highly doubt a forex broker is a better choice, imo most charge...

Agree, also inflation is even higher in EU than US. And if ECB raises rates the way they should we get another sovereign debt crisis, Italy and others are simply not able to refinance at sustainable rates when ECB goes to like 4%.

Binary by definition. 20 or 0. I wonder how tight spreads will be and how liquid they will be.

This, i recently updated net worth and source of funds distribution. Had to answer a few questions afterwards (eg. What year did you make the stated trading profits with which instruments). Answered those (and offered to send more documents if needed) and it's all fine. No big deal.

nope, all good here. I check twitter and do a tweet, if I encounter some issues, usually others tweet about it too

Or go with German DAX
