Define working.. It has pros and cons, but generally speaking in CH everyone still gets what they need.

Thats not necessarily where the problem lies. There are working health care systems that do rely solely on the private sector (i.e. Switzerland) and there are working health care system that are run by the state (i.e. Austria, or Scandinavia). Hybrid systems are generally shit, because then...

You are aware that IB fx marketdata is only displayed in 0.5 pip increments to clients - but actual internal quotes(and subsequent fills) are in full decimal precision ? Sounds to me you are trading on the wrong venue for this kind of game..

Putting an iranian puppet regime out of business could be interpreted as an american win, i suppose. Although its unclear what Obamas plans are exactly. Only very limited air strikes, or prolongued enforcement of a no fly zone, or air assistance for the FSA? Noone knows. They probably...

What about the number of graduates? Is this declining, stable or increasing?

I think CME Europe could be a nice option too in the future, if they can get enough liquidity. They are supposedly starting in September. Contract specs are way better than what they have on Globex right now. All pairs are quoted in half-ticks, so its instantly 50% cheaper for takers. Also...

Fastmach is yet another of the dozen or so new ecn platforms trying to get a piece of the institutional cake. Its a jointventure between FXCM, SocGen and BNY Mellon. They have 3 different what they call 'trading rooms': retail(mostly liquidity provision for broker clients and what is...

Except NZD/USD, the market convention is that the roll is done at 5pm New York time. NZD/USD used to be rolled forward at 7am Auckland time. I think some(most?) do it at 5pm est now too. So, depending on where you live, these times can vary due to differing DST rules from country to country...

The glaciers in my country(and world wide) are melting extremly fast in the last 20 years. Some of them will be gone in a few years, and if it keeps up, in 20 years there will not be much left here. I dont even need any fancy scientific studies - i remember what it looked like as a kid, and i...

You didn't even clarify what you expect your assitant to do exactly. Type your trades into excel or something? Make coffee? What valueable experience could an intern gain? Presumably this would be the only reason someone works for free, no?

You could use "eSignal on demand" or SierraChart.

No firm outside of the USA, without NFA/CFTC license, can take U.S. residents as (retail)clients. Or more like they could, but they would run into trouble with uncle sam. The american authorities make it a point to enforce their regulation in an extra-territoral fashion. The CTFC apparently has...

Waste management, construction, phone telemarketing schemes, dog fights, vending machines, restaurants, seafood distribution, pizza parlors, espresso cafes, loan sharking, gambling, car theft, extortion, pornography, narcotics, counterfeiting, hijacking, bankrupty fraud, labor union...

You will probably attract top-talent by cheaping out on your assistant.

LMax is really good for fx, you can negotiate better commission than at IB too. But its not comparable to IB with their broad market coverage.

In the last draft, FX spot was exempt from the tax. Swaps, forwards and other derivatives would be covered. But, according to german comments, taxing OTC products is off the table, at least in the initial phase. This tax is probably dead in the water anyways.

Do they say that in their fineprint? And who provides liquidity for their index CFDs? TimberHill?

Isn't Java that thing that constantly and annoyingly asks for updates and tries to install the Ask-Toolbar?

You can use Oanda for that. You can make subaccounts in various currencies, and transfer back and forth on thight spreads. No fees. Although the interest-rate will probably be worse than with a CD. They are paying 0.3% on CAD deposits at the moment. But compared to usd/cad fx risk its insignificant.

Especially in GBP, the half-sized 6B makes it 2x as expensive in commissions. Also, most crosses are illiquid on CME.
