This is basically binary options on CFD. Crazily expensive! Only advantage to me: it requires lower capital than futures options but with the micro futures, there's not much difference.

Huge spread +1$ trading fee per contract... Expensive!

Good question! I think we'll get the answer tomorrow when they will publish their fee schedule.

Thanks for sharing. So according to the article, on options like SPX, TDA charges no commission, only 65 cents regulatory fees. That's competitive, even more than IB.

We wouldn't hear about the "rogue trader" if he had made the right bet. Like for J.K., senior management calls for risk limits manipulations when it turns bad

Haha I like it. It's not the first time Houthi rebels try to attack SA oil supply, There was no guarantee of success and they could have failed in many ways like before. So long the oil on Friday before market closes in hope for this successful "project" is a risky trade. Did they? May be...

Exactly same experience. It's even worse for options. I believe this is a recurring issue with IB, that has been around for years.

Thank you

Hi, How to see the Indicative Opening Price on IB? https://www.cmegroup.com/education/indicative-opening-price-overview.html Thanks

Clickbait title!

I agree. At the end, it's mostly a tax question. @Jason11111111 I believe you got all the information you need. If you want more details, there's also a paper published by the CME (may be biased but still interesting)...

3M Lib at expiration but integrated in the futures price

No expense ratio for holding ES other than the financing cost.

A non-US resident needs to pay withholding tax on dividends and coupons payments. That will be the case in SPY dividends. ES doesn't have this issue as dividends are included in the price (No payments!). Though, you will have to pay financing cost (also included in the price) but you can invest...

It depends! Are you an American resident?

Being long on all US banks while interests may fall to 0 soon is very risky to me. European banks sector have been shorted for quite long. Search the ones that have been too shorted and offer great values especially when they have the insurance division that contributes significantly to their...

The goal is to find the ones that have great potentials. There are some great banks. Focusing on the very troubled Deutsche Bank that had and still have numerous issues is not representative of the rest. Short the bad, long the good.

Deutsche bank is one of the worst performance of the Euro-Zone if not the worst. I am not sure why it should be compared to the top American banks. There are European banks that do much much better.

I know it's not yours. No worries
