    Monaco traders US tax withheld?

    Since there is no tax treaty between Monaco and the USA, does a US broker have to withhold taxes on trading gains made by a Monaco resident? In the W8BEN form a Monaco resident declares: "The beneficial owner is a resident of Monaco within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the US...

    Quotetracker - Ameritrade wants to kill it

    Anybody knows Advanced Analyzer. A great program that's not listed on the Ameritrade website anymore. The data download is often a day late though. I have used it for many years. I wonder if a new client can still get a login. My login that I got about 6 years ago still works. Felix

    EurUsd trading demo test run .... :)

    Which timeframe are you trading? Trading low timeframes is dangerous. I trade 4 hour timeframes (on EURSUD) and following the ideal signal points make about 350 pips a week in theory. In real its about 150 pips per week on average. Low drawdown and about 2 trades a week on average. Hardly any...

    Anybody Trade from Monaco's Monte Carlo ?

    Most people looking for zero taxes rent and don't buy. Real estate prices have doubled from 2003 to 2008 and have increased another 20% since then. One can rent a simple studio for about EUR 1'000 per month, including all the charges that comes to about $ 15'000 per year. A decent 2-room with...

    How much upside after Ben cuts?

    Since everybody knows, there is going to be a rate cut, it's already priced in. There are usually some wild swings for a couple of hours and then a lot of disappointment - meaning down. Happy trading, Felix

    The Wizard Trading Software

    I subscribed for a few month. Their signals are good for longer term traders. I trade swings with 60 min. charts and indicators and compared to Wizard was often a day or 2 earlier entering and exiting. A drawback in their statistics is that they don't list the exits at a loss. So a reader...

    there can never be a trading system

    I have spent a lot of time developing trading strategies which work very well manually (>80% winners). And I have spent tens of thousands on having them programmed. They produced not nearly my results trading manually. I am still looking for the program or programmer to implement my...

    LOVE TradeStation!!

    Placing new futures trades online before 8.30 am EST is not possible, only exiting positions. This is no good for Europeans who like to trade in the morning, say from 8 am CET on, which is 2 am at TS in Florida. They don't even accept phone orders before 8.30 am EST. Felix

    CHF 'No longer a safe haven'

    Although the Kantonalbank of Zürich and of Vaud had some problems in the past, they are all quite safe. The customers deposits are guaranteed by the Kanton's (province) government. Actually these Kantonalbanks are owned by the Kanton's governments. I guess the safest are the ones in the small...

    CHF 'No longer a safe haven'

    UBS, CS and some other big banks with international business are riskier to have one's money in than the Raiffeisenbanks and the diverse Kantonalbanks. These are involved only in local business and are the safest banks in Switzerland. Quite safe are also Swiss government bonds. Less safe are the...
