Thanks for the advice. I trade ags, no treasuries, 90 % manual.

Thanks guys, I am not american, nor residing in the US so tax rules must be different for me anyway... I will check historical prices this WE.

Of course, but it simply didn't happen with NFA fees, SEC fees... There is quite a long road from 6c to 10$...:D It's just refreshing to see a proposal that wouldn't cause Financial armaggedon, I don't say I want a CFTC fee... Also here it is a tax to fund something, there is a clear link...

They are a little more clever than that. They are trying to infect any transaction where a EU 11 institution is party or issued in a EU 11 country. What they don't understand is that EU11 issued Securities are not that important in the finance world and that if they really apply it to EU 11...
