    Flash Crashes

    I might have been unclear but I am taking the risk of horrendous slippage into account. My point is that if you find yourself in the situation where price is moving sharply against you, you have the choice between : - exiting your position at the market because you are not in control anymore -...

    Flash Crashes

    This can backfire pretty badly. With a hard stop order (at the market) you can always decide to get back into the market if you think it is time to play the rebound. But if the market just keeps going and going in a runaway mode you are truly going to be decimated if you don't get out...

    Negative interest rate (Interactive Brokers)

    Would you mind explaining why you pay 0% on RUB deposits? Doesn't sound like market rates to me. Last time I checked Russian Central Bank interest rates were at 6,25%. Curious if it was 0 when the interest rates were at 15% a few years ago.

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)
