    How did they come up with the futures month codes

    like H, M, U, Z F for January? Doesnt seem to make much sense, apart for Z for Dec and that they are at least in alphabetical order.

    Bitcoin Futures Set to Start Trading as Regulator Gives Thumbs Up CFTC says it will allow launches b

    I guess liquidity will suck in the BTC futures, at least at the beginning for sure. As far as i was able to find out, CME has not announced a lead market maker program for this contract. I suppose it would be difficult to find any, since with all the KYC and AML requirements its difficult for...

    UK’s FCA to regulate binary options brokers from 2018

    It doesnt even need to be a scam. They paylike 80% on 50/50 bets. You just need to aquire enough new fools every month who press the buttons and the money keeps rolling in. Its really silly but apparently there are enough idiots out there who would go for it, given enough ads.

    Global Brokerage files for bankruptcy, delists from NASDAQ

    This FXCM. They blew up when SNB gave up on the CHF floor, and a lot of customer accounts went into debt they couldnt collect. Jeffries bailed them out, and their ass belongs to them ever since. This is just Jeffries doing some sort of restructuring. Apparently Fxcm retail client funds are safe.

    Soros Says U.K. Is Approaching ‘Tipping Point’ as Brexit Bites

    Soros just fits the bill (jew + wall st + globalist conspiracy and so on , that gets them going). I'm more surprised the americans are responsive to this, since afaik he is mostly active in the CEE region. It might be a side-effect of the Kremlin propaganda&spin on the eastern euro information...

    Trading Stocks in Germany

    Degiro sells or more like just gives up the orderflow to its own hedgefund HiQ. Thats even worse than your usual payment for orderflow. In options you may end up thinking you did an on-exchange trade, while in reality your trade is OTC with an underperforming hedgefund as your counterparty. Not...
