    Obsession with trading and the markets. Does it get better or only worse?

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

    Does Singapore tax traders as a business (regular income tax) if trading volume exceeds a certain threshold (you have a finance degree, experience from working in banks, etc.) like the majority of other countries do or will you also in that case enjoy 0% tax in Singapore?

    is it justified for me to concern about broker reverse engineering my strategy?

    is it justified for me to concern about broker reverse engineering my strategy?

    Negotiating fees with fee-paying brokers

    In the negotiation process, were you asked to submit trading reports with trades including number of shares, date, time and order types? I was asked that.

    Tradezero Strikes again.

    I think the relevant question to ask yourself is this: Why choose a broker charging 5 times the borrow fee on the first night when almost all other brokers charge 1 times the borrow fee?

    Professional data feed for personal account

    A corporation of course has to pay for professional data feed. In the old days I’m quite sure you did not have to pay professional data feed for your personal account if you had a corporate account that only invested your own funds. Has that changed?
