Isn't EU protection much worse than SIPC's? €25k vs. $500/250.
Not possible AFAIU.
Perhaps special UK/US agreements? However this is clearly a retaliatory move by the EU, trying to remove capitals from the UK.
Thank you for the link. That's for sure, but with just one egg you have less options :) I guess SIPC only protects customers of US firms. IBIE...
Any reference to such European scheme? Then what does that €25k limit refers to, exactly?
Still unbelievable. Very unlikely IB will go bankrupt, but a ridiculously low protection limit anyway. Speaking of which, does anyone know if...
Sure. Even "nicer" is such Irish Compensation Scheme. Would an Irish investor with 1M worth of capital in the bank be compensated with just 25k,...
Today I received a proposal to migrate to IBIE. From "The Documents": "IBIE is a member of the Irish Investor Compensation Scheme (“ICS”), which...

I do that too. My trade table has a memo field that allows for inserting comments when required. I have made five such overrides since the...
Yeah, of course every mistake is such in hindsight. Should the index not have rallied, I would have patted myself on the back. Yet risk has to be...
Worth mentioning that October could also have been a winning month, if only I hadn't made the stupidest mistake a system trader can do, overriding...

Honestly I have no idea. However, that system was clearly more overfit than I cared to admit. Not necessarily a bad thing, as it served me well...

Not true, unfortunately. You can very well be fooled by intraday data. Markets do change. Just for fun, I ran the 13-year backtest on my previous...

Generally speaking, the older we get, the more we value safety.
Agreed. However, market conditions do change over time so you can be confident only up to a certain point that your system will keep working, even...
