Spanish FTT is effective on Jan.14

Discussion in 'Trading' started by trend2009, Jan 14, 2021.

  1. anyone received message from IB that spanish ftt will be effective on Jan.14 at the rate 0.2% including stock, option and futures?

    0.2% is huge, basically kills day trading.

    do not know when biden will impose ftt on US exchanges. if that happens, I lose my job as day trader.

    Wow sorry to hear that, 0.2% completely destroys day trading for sure.

    Do you think a successful stock market trader can be successful at forex?
    Do you think a successful heart surgeon can be a successful back surgeon?
    Some years ago floor traders transitioned to be upstairs traders. As a group they had mediocre results.

    Dream on.

    Governments are desperate for revenue for their failed welfare countries.

    My system is used on futures, forex, and crypto's. The trader has no input on the trading. Purely mathematical. So yes a successful stock trader can be successful in other areas too.

    Your surgeon comparison makes no sense as the surgeon is the main factor for success or failure.

    You can dream on... to find something similar.
    Systems are about numbers and see no difference between forex numbers, futures numbers or crypto numbers. Numbers are numbers.

    Like you say: "the group". I speak about the trader, not the group. In each group there are good and badly educated persons. A group is not identical to each member.
