DislikedCan't believe I never saw this until now, its been out there since July
I normally keep up to date on stuff like that. Looking over the rules makes me glad I live in Switzerland, land of the free where you can close any position you like any time you want. This is the U.S trying to shake out over leveraged retail traders and to close down those shops with 400-1. The first in first out rule is the most F@#ked up thing I have ever seen. That would kill a trend trader.Ignored

When the order came back from Japan it included the note "We are not sure why you wanted the 10% faulty units but we have enclosed some in a seperate package". I wonder how true is that story?Ignored

Hasn't this always been the same tho' - look at the Egyptians or Mayans - fantastic civilisations that turned to mush. We keep forgetting that as humans we have learned jack shit - we still make the same mistakes that we made in the year dot, but we are so far up our own arses that we don't realize it!!Ignored
