ROTFL... It doesn't matter if Ronaldo was sick or not against France in 98 as the ball was never reaching him anyway. It is a great player but there is a reason why Brazil hates to play France, especially in important games...

I am sure that when he is high on crack, Lenny Dykstra comes and tells him about his new comeback...It must be such an experience...:D

If they don't manage to get simple things like position limits on commodities, there is no way they will get a Tobin Tax one day. French G20 will be a disaster...LOL. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/02/14/uk-g20-commodities-idUKTRE71D2JA20110214

Thank you for the reminder of how good they are. I was forgetting about them lately. I was listening to them continuously when "Fever to tell" came out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70sT1py0m-s There are really good groups today like them or Interpol, Frank Black... It's just that what...

He is not doing good for sure. He has lost his son Guillaume, a famous drug addict, alcaholic and "actor" 2-3 years ago and seems to get fatter and fatter every day. He told someone in an interview he was drinking 4-6 bottle of wines alone on an average day. It's a shame. He was a good actor.:(

I calculated the other day that they would need to charge 0.02 $ or so per contract to cover the needed budget, but since it is for a useless commission like CFTC they will find 0.2$ is better. Still nothing like a 10$ per contract FTT.

It's totally different than ES or ESTX. Those were "new" instruments at the time that needed to prove themselves. If you put a 0.01% tax on bund, no liquidity provider can be profitable and long term traders would pay the tax + the increased spreads and tremendously lose in the end. If say...

It's pure theft. On top of fees, they can convert at prices that never traded during the day. Everybody trading in a non- domestic currency need a broker like IB to make the conversions themselves.

And they are not par of the EU, so they don't care about their neighbors. Given the physical trading and hedge fund center that Geneva is becoming, it is fair to assume they are still opposed to it.

I must be stupid but I thought you needed to enter the formula in an excel cell to create a DDE link, be it to retrieve datas, submit orders or anything else.

You are tough with Incy. This thread is not that stupid. And lately in a thread about calendar spread liquidity, he made an accurate observation that spreads were more liquid because it was moving less than outrights, which is just right. I think he is slowly improving ...LOL If you continue...

Out of all the valuable material in the 4700 Posts that Incy graced us with( 70 % of which were about tick size and margins of different markets ), what is the most important lesson you learned from him? PS: I voted BANG! which is a lesson in itself.

Have you ever traded "exotics from overseas" like DAX and HSI? They are not broing at all:cool: Your list is quite accurate in fact except BP moves a lot , small tick size means nothing, same thing for HO and RB.

:cool:

Can I restart to send shitloads of messages now that you will have a lot of bandwidth saved thanks to Atrocious ?:D I think he deserves at least a commission free year from IB for this thread.:)
