I'm not dual nationality, I'm an american under a foreign residence visa in Germany because my wife is German. I think this affords me a lot more opportunities to avoid this fascist tax. And I have to agree, Zuerich is amazing. I really want to live ...

Tobin Tax Effect on Forex

99.99% of the time this would be a really bad idea. Risking your money is one thing, risking someone else's is another. Then again, if they want to make an investment in you, it's their fault. I'd be VERY careful about that.

Does anyone trade for others?

Hey guys, just picked up this thread about two days ago, and I have to say I'm already impressed. I've never seen a system that requires this little input and learning to begin working. So far so good, I've traded two days (most of which I was gone, ...

You're both absolutely right. These skills are not lost, I've studied futures and options extensively, and yes there are some differences but your skills will transfer very nicely. The trick is to be flexible, that's what this world is all about. ...

We really are straying from topic. If you guys want to make another thread called "Is forex a derivitives market?" that'd be better. As far as tobin tax goes, as I've stated before, it doesn't matter if you call spot forex derivitives, ...

Why even daytrade?

You are absolutely right. I am always astounded at the government's lack of ability to look at history. There's no doubt as to whether it will work or not, but how long are they going to try to jam a square peg into a round hole at our expense? ...

If it's already been proven useless then nevermind. Period and frequency of updating isn't that important. Just thought it would be helpful to picture the loss-win-loss cycle that the basket goes through. When I wake up in the morning, there's no ...

This was asked earlier in the thread but no one answered it. Does anyone have, or can anyone create an indicator that will show the basket's overall profit/drawdown over time? This would be perfect for visualizing the alleged cyclical nature of the ...

Scheisse... That would be VERY bad for me. Looks like it might be time to move to Switzerland after all. Torkay, do you have a citation for where you read that the tobin tax would fall under this principle?

I thought we already settled this? It really doesn't matter what it is, it'll probably be the first thing taxed. Let's move on!

A resounding success? Seriously? This is a horrible idea that will just push the little guys out and give more power to the bigger players. If that's your idea of a resounding success, then maybe it will be.

Whether it is a derivative or not is irrelevant, if they pass this no financial market will be left unscathed. They're basically pissed that the euro is falling and they want to place the blame on speculators. I honestly think forex will be the ...

Pics or it didn't happen. We're gonna need more than that.

Easy scalping

I don't mean to be rude, I in fact changed the tone of the post right after I posted it. Honestly, it's their own suicide. I actually partially welcome the tobin tax because it will be the final nail in the 12 year ridiculous experiment called the ...

We certainly could take this thread to a completely different political discussion about transparency and to tax or not to tax, or we could stay on topic and talk about the tobin tax specifically and it's effect on us as traders. This thread was ...
