I read the German newspapers and they want both taxes.

When you read all these articles online and you see and hear that some big countries like Germany and England are actually pro FTT and all the stupidity that comes out of the mouth of these politicians than you get a "little" worried. But when you take a deep breath and your mind becomes clear...

The financial markets are not any different than any other market where supply meets demand. If something is too expensive it will be sold and if something is too cheap it will be bought. This wont change by implementing a punishment tax on every transaction. So if you think that a financial...

Could you please explain what you mean by showing me an actual example?

Maybe you can check your assumptions again. A higher gamma means that the delta of the short term call goes to zero quicker than the delta of the long term call. And as we all know the lower the delta the less an option is worth. So in this case the short term option loses a lot more percentage...

Companies like GS but also market makers on the exchanges will not pay this tax if it ever happens. If they do have to pay this tax than liquidity will drie up in the stock market (wel maybe they think thats not so bad) but options trading for example will be completely dead. So the the group...

Problem is completely solved with disabling UAC!

Thanks! I think this has solved my problem! I hope I dont create any new ones by disabling UAC :-).

Thanks for your reply. On windows XP it worked fine but can you can confirm that in vista there is no possible way to get dde to work?

Euronext Amsterdam and Eurex.

Hi riskfree. I think when teaching people your trading style and splitting the money so he can pay for his tuition can make the student lazy (just my opinion off course). There has to be some drive to make this work. I think it would be better to teach him step by step what you do and...

Pairtradefinder :p !

If you buy 1000 shares for $40 per share you pay $100 if you sell the same shares a couple of minutes/hours later you pay a $100 again. Thats $200 in taxes. This is the end of the world for day and short term traders.

You dont know what you are talking about- and thats for sure.

Are you serious? I never knew this! Whats the reason for this and are US residents allowed to trade foreign shares?

If TOS can create a backtrader like optionvue , add volatility scans and show the P/L after you made your adjustments on your trades together with some upgrades on the analyze page than Optionvue will be out of business.

The impact of a tax will be huge except for the buy and hopers among us. Less liquidity, bigger losses, smaller gains, higher tranaction costs to name a few.

It s totally irrelevant if high freq trading adds "valuable real liquidity". Its about punishing the wrong group with this stupid idea of taxing wall street.

No I meant I lost only a small % on my total account while I invested about 70% of my account in short premium strategies like butterflies and calendars. I lost some money when the market went crazy from september 15th until september 18th. I then closed my positions instead of adjusting them to...
