EU is holding it up right now on the mysql concern. ORCL might not complete if they can't get mysql.

If we have hyperinflation, your calls probably will be the least of your problems. If you're concerned, and it's reasonable that you should be, consider putting 10% of your portfolio in physical Gold. There are some risks there of course, such as outlawing private ownership and taxes on...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of stop losses either. Of course, it means you have to use more vigorous money management. Oversized bets + no stop losses = high risk of ruin.

What stocks are you looking at, exactly? What kind of execution options are there for removing liquidity under the new rebate?

Guy at DTN says it doesn't exist anymore. Bit of a curve trying to figure out what's going on with these exchanges.

Island isn't around anymore, anyone understand what IB is doing with all these references to it in their fee schedules and routing column? Also, I'm trying to get a clear grasp of the exchanges available. Mostly I see Nasdaq NYSE/Arca NYSE/Floor Bats Those are the top four main...

"for his unvarnished praised of super douchebag SOROS." Than you'll be happy to know he didn't praise Soros. In fact, really, he kind of made fun of him if you re-read it. Anyways, he got lucky. I like Buffet because he has the humility to understand that he was just the right guy at...

I love how buffet can state the clearly obvious and yet everyone ignores him until it's too late. Tragic.

Get your bum to ease drop on business types for inside information. It must work if they're arresting people over it..

I don't have time to read all the pages in this thread .. but has someone implemented the OP's strategy in MT4 that I can copy? thx

How much was the market moving? Maybe it's not worth following up on if the market wasn't moving much. Might have been some confusion and arca though it was starting on the minute.

Doesn't AMEX provide a higher payout?

I notice all sorts of different vendors, including the defunct opentick, selling or even giving the data away for free. I was wondering what the copyright law is with regards to historical tick data .. does anyone know? If the data is copyrightable, it seems to me that the original...

Bit confused by that statement. My reading of the URL you sent is that for stocks held for less than 1 year, you pay regular income tax. Type of Capital Asset Holding Period Tax Rate Short-term capital gains (STCG) One year or less Ordinary income tax rates up to 35%

When you have a capital gain, you only declare 50% of that gain as income, the rest is tax free. There is no transaction tax. What is it like in the US? Can high frequency traders just pay capital gains tax?

So I'm Canadian, and we have to pay regular taxes on frequent, short term trading. Is it different for Americans? If you are a dedicated trader and you trade very frequently, do you pay only capital gains or regular taxes? How about if you are incorporated?

Risktaker, I think your concern isn't with trading at a high frequency but rather market manipulation itself. I think everyone can agree that market manipulation is a bad thing. I actually think part of the problem here is that tightening spreads on some on low liquidity stocks...

Beware, the lower liquidity stocks are ripe with insider trading.

I'm already co-located, I need something quite a bit faster. Quickly is relative I guess. Faster than everyone else? :) I've tried the sites. I guess I'll just start cold calling.
