There are a lot of countries with no cap gains tax that are much cheaper to live on than Monaco. Off the top of my head I can name The Bahamas, BVI and Panama

Closed out EURUSD. If the trade can't be in the green after all the headlines, it must mean its wrong

Back short EURUSD acting weaker now. tighter stop at 1.1370

Closed EURUSD short. Market saying Grexit is good for EUR, going to let that thesis play out on the sidelines

SCHAEUBLE SAYS NOBODY FORCING GREECE TO HAVE AID PROGRAM GREEK FINANCE MINISTER SAYS BAILOUT DEAL WAS DOOMED TO FAIL seems to be driving down the EURUSD pair right now. So, it appears that the market is acting according to the trade idea. We will see if that continues

Not a super high confidence trade because, who knows, maybe the EUR will rise on a Grexit. William Buiter thinks so. I think it will go down but I will try to follow the reaction to the news to see how people are reacting to the chances of that. If people start to buy EUR on Grexit indicative...

If I'm right I make 4 times my risk

Short small EURUSD. Just betting this Greece thing will get worse and the trend will take it to parity with the USD. Stop 1.165

I saw that, its cool to learn more about which routes are better, which are screwing you, etc. But I'm more interested in performance stats rather than cutting costs

I'm looking for a site/service that will compile and deliver all kinds of trading performance stats based on IB's trading records excel file. Yes, I could do it on my own but it will take quite a bit of time. Furthermore IB's account management activity reports lacks some stats that I'm looking...

I never blew up an account, its not necessary to do so to learn. If you are blowing up accounts then you either know little or nothing about proper position sizing or you are lacking discipline to implement that position sizing system. You could also have no edge. Notice that these issues will...

I'd also note that the SEK also has similar stats and trades at a 23% premium with the USD on a PPP basis. Not crazy to imagine that the DKK could actually go down if it were allowed to float

If the EUR tanks another 10-15% and inflation starts to pick up in Denmark, then the story might change

Looking at Norway and NOK (similar country with similar econ stats, both AAA rated with low debt to GDP ratios and current account surpluses), it looks like the DKK doesn't have that much potential to rise. According to the OECD the NOK is overvalued by 48% against the USD (free floating), the...

hah, I did a quick analysis of this exact trade today after the rate cut. I didn't put the trade on. Here are some quick conclusions (not enough time analyzing mind you) -Their inflation is low and economy is weak, perhaps the central bank WANTs to keep printing and cutting rates. They are in...

Didn't RSA security tokens got hacked a few years back? At least with these cards, the algorithm that generated is locked up at IB not at a firm that is seem as a pot of gold by hackers

In this journal I'm looking to discuss, share ideas and debate different methods on how to construct a balanced multi-asset passive portfolio. These days people call this "risk parity". Friends and family ask me sometimes about managing money for them, I always refuse simply because the amounts...

Get the plastic card. Make a xerox copy of it and keep it somewhere. Much better than these devices

Missed a good short opportunity at this point on SPY with a stop at all-time highs. good risk/reward that a significant correction is coming. This is the first time in a long-time the dips weren't immediatly bought all the way up
