i usually tend to ignore trading on sundays, just to feel out the market pulse before i jump in, so I don't really pay attention to gaps..

what's all the noise about the gap? Do they usually close?

Seriously guys, bring it back to real trading and stop fuking around...

There is certain things you have to do if your a scalper, I am not but I can trade that way... Not making more money by doing so but here 3 things you have to do if thats how you want to play it...

Wait for at least the kiwi bourse to open, that is in 20 minutes..
wait for some momentum
wait for a strong up or down trend and scalp it...

so wait... you don't want to be in a crap position...

what I have read so far makes me sad...

I haven't really looked into it as I have never had an overseas broker, it's the idea that gets me fired up in the first place.

I don't know how it hasn't been challenged yet... it has to be unconstitutional.
I love our constitution and bill of rights, remember ... history does repeat itself and there can be a point into which the 'people' rise. We just have to keep in check.

I am not to afraid anyways, to much money in this game to give up ... to much power behind that to persuade.

I personally would have my wife and I move overseas also or just work for a buddy and give 'advice' on trading and get paid for that ... there are ingenious ways around anything ..

Tell that to Homma Munehisa.

Considering he developed the Sakata Candlestick system, amassed a fortune of over 100 Billion dollars in today's dollars using that system, and was the greatest trader the world has ever known, I think I'll give more weight to his outlook if candlestick trading works than someone posting on a forum who's trading a $400 account.

But that's just my outlook. You're welcome to your opinion as well.
naah.. he was the lucky one.. :nerd:

Can't you technically become an 'employee' for an overseas trading firm and get paid on commission?

aka have a buddy start a business and trade under that business?
Better don't. Then you have to pay taxes on the profit.

As long as you are trading privately, then you not pay any tax over profit. There is a tax called capital gains tax though, but the IRS assumes 4% profit and wants 30% of that. It is levied on the averaged capital (liquid - debt). Instead of 4% gain, you can have like 100% gain, but the IRS only looks at the averaged capital. If you have -50% gain, you still pay this 4%*30%=1.2% tax over your remaining averaged capital.

Not every EU country's IRS is this nice though!

When these gains were made on the account of a company, you pay like 30% tax on the profit...
