There is nothing new in this bucket shop, yet so many people are talking about it, this is really amazing, proselitism based on pure speculative promises. SB's are becoming increasingly a religion for the loosers. SB's will never give you the edge you need to become a successful trader. My last...

I've not yet tested the CS platform but I've traded with some other SB's. There is nothing wrong with testing their platforms and make some good money, however I suggest to the newbies to close their accounts as soon as the SB's start to play dirty tricks. Don't be fool thinking that it was a...

laptop 1 I suppose you wanted to take a personal revenge on WS 'through your sister's account' but it went the other way round and WS took revenge on you 'through your sister's account'. You wanted to take your personal issue with WS a step further and WS shot at your foot. They have been...

You will get compensation from IB if you can prove beyond any doubt that the fault has been commited by IB and not yourself, can you prove it?

Why do we have a legal requirement to declare on the tax return any interest we've received from an offshore account if that interest has already been taxed with a 15% retention tax?

You can open an offshore bank account and trade with an offshore broker, if you don't want to pay taxes for the rest of your life, then it all comes down to your residence status and where you live.

The 1 pip is surely a great thing if you want to attract clients from other sb's, there is no doubt about this, but there are other clients that would like more service for their money and by the way, it would be nice to extend this 1 pip to crude oil too. Traders that have opted for ws will...

somebody wrote earlier about expresstrade, telling us that you can trade with them from 4$ per roundtrip and I told him that you can have the same service from global futures for just 1,38$ per roundtrip.

There is some monkey business going on with ws, but don't underestimate them, they have been in the business for a long time now. I can't trade with them, cause I don't have time to waste, time is money and monkey business makes you loose time and money. Marvin will tell us what's going on there.
