I remember those days and u actually new which way the stock was going to move on the level 2! U knew it was gonna move a few levels and your gonna make! Ahh the good old days! The old green instinet box!

Well Said WILT! I am with you on the IRS

Check with the accountant but unfortunatley I have been thru the same thing. I never put money aside for taxes back in 03 when I was day trading . Then I lost it all and then some on some energy naked calls . I owed and still pay on it. I owed for the last quarter about 50k and I am still paying...

If my math is correct even with 1/8 spreads say u traded a 100 shares of a 100 dollar stock you would need to make atleast 1/2 a point on every trade just to break even on the trade not including commissions and fees just the tax. So every trade you did you would need to make 1/2 point there to...

Well I do not think they will get it passed just yet, they need to look into it as John Mack said, but anyways they only mentioned stocks and bonds lets see if futures are thrown in with it. For now I am trading FX until all this crap calms , down. Now I am glad they dont have a central exchange!

Yes so they day 90% of the daytraders lose money and as you say 100% marketmakers make money. But then there goes a shitlaod of reveune, from the daytraders with all the volume, less volume less market maker jobs, , less volume no need for 10000s of jobs in the financial instituions and back...

Yeah crap gets mulled over usually from the very left leaning. In the case of the US it was Defazio, who is pretty out there anyways. So not worried until there is something to be worried about.

Yeah it seems no one broker is perfect but gft seems pretty good so far, I use gain as well just to do my trades at tradestaion(ts uses gain for FX) So I can get the free charting! I think gain sucks

Good to see the articles to keep us apprised of the situation. The good thing is that this is not definate in Germany only something that might come up on the manifesto also the article states that Merkels government is way ahead in the polls so thats nice to hear as well. Frankfurt is trying...

I use gft as well, the platform is pretty good and relaible. Never had I had an outrageous spike like the fxcm spikes I hear about or other firms. Its pretty smooth sailing, the spreads do not widen during any news time. I just wish they had better graphs, I use tradestation to graph. Overall...

look at the percent the pairs are up or down , no pounding at all, and its not even a big range, settle down

Been trading fx the same thing as always since u keep asking everytime u post a new one of these posts. Are you going to stick with one and trade it?

Yeah I am sure its maitenence, but the least they can do is post something to that effect. I thought my money was gone:)

Yeah ditto on the logon problems, says UNABLE TO ACCESS ACCOUNT.

Increasenow, calm it down you started this same thread already before and didnt get great answers. This bill was known to get passed it is no secret, so big deal. Stop all the hype already

It was riskit with a typo:)

The market knew this was gonna pass, and it was looking forward to it these past few weeks. Now that the market has nothing to grasp and look forward to it might start going down until it sees something come out of this.
