My guess it is EFP is taxed depending on whether you make money on the futures leg or stock leg. Write off the losses in one leg and taxed in the winning leg. Just my guess.

I guess patriotism would keep most of the mini volume on the OSE. From what i observe, depite the 10 pts incement of the Osaka nikkei contract, the osaka contract is still more liquide. I dont think the mini volume will transfer to singapore despite the smaller increment.

U really have a real position in the miny gold? And jan contract? 1) miny gold has no liqudidty 2) the front month is feb If u want to trade smaller, u might as well do the GLD if u have a IB account.

Realisticly, what are the chances of the EFP defaulting? I mean we are getting paid well over 100 basis point better than the 1 month t-bills. EFP's gotta be more dangerous. In a world which AAA rated companies means nothing, is EFP somewhat dangerous? And also, is EFP the only way for a...

And i want to add that i think EFP doesnt really have a clearing risk because the SSF leg is marked to market, so if one chicago were to go under, and the short SSF leg doesnt get honoured. SInce all the P&L prior to the default is already in ur account, you can just sell the stock right away...

I want to contiune the discussion of EFP strategies. I've been thinking if the balance gets too far negative (stocks going up) and you want to cover some EFPs so u dont pay IB any extra interest, you might as well do it on a tuesday. This way, it is like the forex triple interest on a wed. If u...

That was a few years ago. I remember that too. Maybe this is one of those add to position type of situation. Who knows? After all, u are getting a huge discount if u buy it today

Is it possible to make it available on DVD? because non-US residents dont get US cable/tv.

Only existing Winnipeg members have access thru ICE. My guess is that IB was never a member of the winnipeg exchange and therefore Ib customer will never have access to canola or feed barley unless enough people push for it.

Has the 9-20 days factor in the $2.50 per side commish?

Ok, assume 100K, that's 10% less on the interest. So we are talking about a 4.5% yield get knocked down to 4.1%. I am not sure about you guys, but it just doesnt sound too good to me. I am small size guy, so i go to Oanda. If u are trading a standard 100K lot, why not just go to globex? The...

The spread might be attractive in IB, but if you hold position overnight, you dont get interest on the first 10K for each currency. That kind of hurt a lot.

Oh really?? ok, then i guess as long as it goes up then i am fine with it. Is strange how positive interest gets reported everyday and they dont report the interest you have to pay on a daily basis. Here is the question. I deposit the cash on tuesday and I bought the stock on tuesday. Am i...
