From FT: Dodd-Frank act presents companies with a PR minefield By Jean Eaglesham in New York Published: August 30 2010 22:01 | Last updated: August 30 2010 22:01 Is a chief executive’s job 19 times more valuable than that of the US president and hundreds of times more valuable...

The first link points to someone else's post (not ForexForex) in teh same thread where FF claims to have baught a put on the previous page.

There is a difference between closing US clients' accounts (which sure would raise a few eyebrows on this froum) and not accepting new clients, which may be a temporary compliance issue.

Compare this to the number of "work-shy" people: "Almost five million people are stuck on out of work benefits in the UK, with 1.4 million getting hand-outs for nine out of the last ten years."

It's because GPs were no longer required to work in the evenings or on week-ends... or visist patients at all for that matter. On a serious note, doctors were paid for reaching targets, not for keeping patients healthy... and the system was made very easy to game. Just give panadol to nearly...

Profit factor is quite solid. However, I think the number of trades is a bit small for a trustworthy backtests. See if the same system (with exactly the same parametes) works on other instruments. This will give much larger sample size.

It's a sad realisation... but so true

Then you have the answer to the question in the first post of the thread. There are lots of reasons people may prefer to conduct transactions in cash currency and not futures, one is taking currency on a holiday abroad.

In fact, none of the equity trades are sent to GLOBEX. GLOBEX is a futures exchange. Further, bulk equity transactions are conducted in private by the buyer and the seller (recently often via a variety of "dark pools"). There is an obligation for the buyer to report aquiring a substantial...

bearice, it would make the discussion more substantiated if you named a few people who actually made it into the billionair list by trading forex. (Hint: there are a few.) Before you do it, this thread is pure speculation of the kind "with extreme luck and leverage some people could have done that".

No, like it has never got there with "bulk" equity trades.

Read this thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=213858 especially posts by Martinghoul. In brief, with the advancement of "discount" brokerages prop firms are no longer attractive to small traders due to lower commissions alone (as whatever is saved in commissions...

I guess this is the end of the thread. The OP wasn't looking for contructive feedback.

gsgs, if you are ready to dedicate $5 mln or so to credit default swap trading, ask any of the major prime brokers like Morgan Stanley and they answer most questions. One of the caveats of trading CDS is like with non-exchange-traded options they are a contract between a "buyer" and a...

NVS 450 cards "suck" big time. Lots of peopel hae problems with some monitors not being recognised. It may require a few reboots till NVS 450 sees all 4 monitors etc... If it takes the manufacturer over 2 years to fix the drivers, it's just not a problem most people want to deal with. I'm sure...

Agree, it's pure populism targeted at aggressively ignorant people (I don't know and don't wanna know time.) Or worse, pork. The issue of who receives the monetary rewards from sale of iPhones and iPads (which is discussed in the article on slashdot) is irrelevant. Even if the Chinese who...

I assure this is exactly what happens in Belarus with books on a pretty industrial scale... and with movies on DVD too. This is not a human rights issue but a legal techinicality. The library paid for the DVD. Further, they paid extra to get a copy licensed for rental, not just home use. Most...

TSA don't seem to be doing anything useful as it is. If nothing happens it's either because the threat is hugely exagerrated or thanks to undercover police officers infiltrating radical groups. For example, Steven Greenoe smuggled over 60 handguns from North Carolina to the UK in his hand...

Exactly. It's private property and the owner can refuse entry to anyone arbitrarily. There are wide-effect laws prohibiting racial discrimination but any other kind of discrimination is perfectly legal. For example, casino owners refuse entry to people who win too regularly. Or a Polish shop...

I think Microsoft Excel is the best for this purpose. Can you post a screenshot of what you are looking for?
