Easy. You take total profits and subtract losses from it, but only up to a certain amount (20k in Germany). So at the end of the year you can pay tax even if your account is negative. More info here: German derivatives traders shocked by new tax law

Has anything changed? Was it just some kind of a mistake? Or are they really serious about limiting taxation of losses only up to 20k for ALL derivatives? The middle of the fiscal year is almost here, there's still time to leave the country ... or not.

Regarding my previous comment about Lynx: I got more into options trading and found out Lynx has double the commissions of IBKR. So I've opened an account with IBKR (UK) directly. Everything is the same, even the bank account in Frankfurt at Citi is the same. Just instead of Lynx Basic there's...

Speaks in Booleans ran a text analysis on their reddit and Twitter accounts and found out that there's a 87% match in their vocabulary, phrases and sentence structure. They both post during the same hours. And jartek was the only one who ever "verified" and "spoke" to the WSBGod.

Well thanks, but lets not detour from the original question, I don't care about Cypriot banking.
