Nope, apparently there are ultra aggressive on pricing.They apply 1$ RT commissions for everyone with no volume requirements...WOW Exchange fees are correct in the tables it seems. If you are trading less than 1000 RTs a month, it's definitely worth considering.

Sarko is throwing the towel it seems, even on the bonus. One analsyt says in my article( Le Monde ): "It is the end of a political window. It's probably the last G20 on financial regulation". I hope he is right.

Got smoked on HO...:(

Listen to this guy instead.

They are talking the 0.005 % one. There would still be liquidity around.

It's getting ugly right in Europe. Sarko is for it, Merkel too, Gordon Brown is for it at a world level. They don't want to talk about it at G20 " not to provoke Washington"( Carla's dwarf ). There 's even a moron that thinks Europe is strong enough to implement it in EU only...

375 K Fine for a 5 billion loss... And he thinks about jail all the time... Poor Jerome.

This link is about currency transactions, the one I read was on "financial transactions". It might be an error from the newspaper. I prefer the real version from Kouchner( I don't trade forex..LOL ).

He said it would depend on the financial product. He is also referring to german asshole minister Peer Steinbruck and said that "UK would be open to talk about it in a meeting of 58 countries and non governmental agencies" ( ? ) I don't know what "group" he is referring to... But it's not...

Damn, fucking Kouchner( french foreign minister ) is talking about the damn thing in french newspapers. Didn't find a link in english. He's claiming that UK is open to talk about it in a further G20. He talks about a light version of 0.005 %. US people, you are my last hope. Obama mustn't...

Was short 22 calls for 3 months. Had to hedge with futures back and forth during all august and september...Horrible.

There was an awesome post from Cutten a few months ago about our economic role and why we should not be ashamed of what we do. The major problem is we provide a service ( liquidity ) in an impersonal, organized and remote way whereas the public would like to see personal and physical...

...:eek: Can't wait for part 3

Usually when you unwind a position in the morning in Europe, America is "sleeping"...LOL... But I agree they should have waited one day to get more counterparts. The guy who unwinded the position (which was supposed to be socgen best trader )should also have anticipated his market impact and...

What an asshole

LOL... Not even close, at least Jack Hershey has a method, as obscure as it is, Kerviel didn't have one. He simply bought or shorted ,averaged down and prayed...Most ET newbies have more common sense than Kerviel.

France had a transaction tax called "l'impot de bourse" until something like 3 years ago. It was , like the one proposed, a quite heavy one and the reason why I and other french traders are trading US markets, Eurex, Asia or Matif which was not subject to this tax... It was created by Chirac...

LOL... I seriously don't know how it works and from the answers you get when calling, I'm not sure they know it either...You got to love ICE.:D

My 27 year old brain is disfunctioning sometimes...LOL. I knew I talked about it but didn't remember it was on ET. I got that in the rulebook : "Rule 9.49. Automatic Exercise Levels for Cocoa Options After the close on the Last Trading Day in the Cocoa Options Contract, the Clearing...

Option Expiration based on settlement price = VWAP of all transactions between 11:48 and 11:50... Almost certain. Don't remember where I got this from...
