I have also an advisor account and never got a message concerning an increase in fees. Transferred 20 bucks to the master account and done... btw, the fee is in £, so I had the possibility (according to a representative) to convert the 20 bucks or to cover the debt in £ every couple of...

best combo out there concerning price and performance!

That's also my impression. You have to consider, that in Switzerland are only a handful of heavy active private retail traders. So the cost of control all these individuals would be high. On the other hand, times have changed and I know some cases from last year where the authorities wanted...

It's the circulaire numéro 8, this circulaire is adressed to the tax departements of the Kantons and they have to adapt their practice accordingly. http://www.estv.admin.ch/f/dvs/kreisschreiben/1-008-D-2005-f.pdf

sure, but if you trade the instruments actively during the day I really think lesser is more...

:eek: so you have a list of 2000 stocks and every day you select the ones (How many?) you are going to trade?

I second that... it's better focusing on 1, 2 maybe 3 ibnstruments than having the whole screen plastered with little charts from a big watchlist...

10000 for ES seems fine in general. A lot of people in the PA journal use this size. BUT: You shouldn't choose a size just because others trade accordingly. You should test some numbers and choose the one you are able to see patterns easily. This is quite subjective and what works for one...

I'm from Zurich using IB as my primary broker. If I have had some issues I was able to call Zug (actually their Swiss office is not in Zurich itself...) and they answered immediately and were more or less competent... (not outstanding but also not the other way round)

Piscuy: "I am going to try to explain about another of the setups I like a lot. I like it because it provides a small stop (usually) and some good moves afterwards. The problem with this setup is that it is a bit harder to define and has a few more variables to take into place, which means...

It's in the AHG journal somewhere... he describes some box breakout scalps. I try to find the illustration again...

yes, it's sufficient...

thanx for the link, ranger. These are exactly the criterias... Sure, if you don't trade your account by yourself, you won't be declared as a trader and thus pay no taxes. But trust me, if you trade as an active daytrader, you will be considered as self employed. There are several federal...

no spike here (IB feed and QT charts)...

Im using QT with IB feed. You have the possibility to subscribe to IQ feed for a special fee. IB feed is fine and very reliable if you don't use tick charts. The backfill of IB has been a crook in the last few weeks but the issue was fixed over the weekend (new servers I think) according to some...

Do you also see only one bid size on the DOM (NQ) from IB? at least backfill works fine now...

In Switzerland you pay no taxes on private capital gains. The federal tax departement has created some criterias to determine, if a gain is considered as such a profit or not. Criterias are (most important): - number of trades per year - use of leverage - use of derivatives Summarized I...

At 09.00 my backfill worked fine... Put on your machine a bit earlier :)

I'm a private retail trader (NQ, ES and 6E) from Zurich... PM please for further information. D.

Ray is correct... forget to mention, that I asked them about constant volume bars. Time based bars of course work fine.
