Money is paper so the only thing that differentiates Fed from ECB is that Fed is printing confetti and ECB hesitates. Will see what breaks first.

Poland is dependent on German economy and EU. However, Polish Finance Minister was studying in England so he might have connections there and play the old game of keeping Germany in check which as you have noted did not work very well in 1939. World Trade proceedings would have to be...

Obama just woke up and speaks French now: Trrax Rrhrichh ! I would not count on this administration to do anything that makes sense. So they will pursue the opposite and might have a second look at FTT thinking about next election.

more crapola: In order to avoid extra-territoriality of the proposed FTT provisions it is also foreseen (see Article 3.3) that a financial institution shall not be considered established in the territory of a Member State "in case the person liable for payment of FTT proves that there is no...

Residence Principle in some foreign slang difficult to understand in North America meaning that if you smell EU on counterparty you pay tax as well because for that split second you are French: Example 2: A hedge fund established in France enters into a swap agreement with a bank established...

Unless you are using software that is specifically designed to take advantage of multiple cores then it does not make any difference which one you use. Any off the shelf software will utilize fraction of computing power of the processor probably no more than 15-20% at peak workload. For...

Discussion about extraterritorial reach of EU FTT was very unreal and hypothetical to me until I found this comment: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Worried about European Financial Tax According to The Hill, the U.S. financial...

Respectfully disagree. Consider this: - democratic win was secured by paying the electorate with deficit money and list of states that went to Dems matches sorted list of near bankrupt states - Dems will start to increase government dependency immediately by playing the same game of...

I thought so too that it is on topic. Just few points on EU FFT since many here hope that EU will fail to implement FTT or when implemented it will prove that FTT is bad idea. Yes it is but for EU bureaucrats and socialist (and also socialist blondes) it does not matter: - markets are...

IB does not return time stamp for "tick" price sampled data. Real time bar returns time stamp of the start of real time bar period. Since they create bars internally I would assume it is their server time. I do not think IB is very concerned abut ms time accuracy because their feed is not geared...

I see the light! People like you make me believe that there is money to be made in the markets. Next time you trading bring more money with you.

Yeah, I red that. I am looking for some light to guide me through the markets and I thought that he is starting new church.

Exactly. Reasons are in plain sight for everybody to see but not many want or are able to notice it.

How do you turn Metro off? The increased efficiency might be superficial only until 3rd party software or legacy software will require library or component that is not included in Win 8 anymore. They just got rid of many components and dll's to streamline Windows and ensure smaller footprint...

If you traded then then you would notice fractions 1/32, 1/64 and I think there were even 1/128 and 1/264 or something like that. Fractions would just open another way of gaming the market which is playing the spread. Retail would be sitting on 1/16 or 1/8 spread and the game would go inside...

Then start the revolution or better yet have preview and go to China, North Korea or wherever fairness for everybody was declared and check if average Joe is better off there.

Check the constitution. If it is legal it is OK to take the last penny from average Joe. This is America. There are other countries where fairness is being practiced so you may want to check there.

The data Feed was still decimal those days and they could use any fraction breaking the penny barrier except for retail. Two things were different - computer had to submit order converted to fraction and retail had limit from broker what fractions they could use. I do not see fractions coming...

Not so great. If you do not have to switch stay with Win 7 and wait for more user experience comments or new release/SP1-3: - Confusing because of 2 different and incompatible user interfaces: Metro and Desktop - 2 different browsers: Metro and Desktop browser - Distractive and lowers...
