  1. User triggered Enhancement Request (in a nutshell)

    • Multiple scaling options, such as 50, 30, 20, or perhaps just 80, 20
    • "New Scaling Position" dialog
      • Percentage of initial capital to be utilized: [e.g., 20%]
      • Reward-to-risk ratio for this capital: [e.g., 1:5]
      • Percentage of capital for a stop:
        • [options: 0 (breakeven), -100 (no change), -50% (partial stop loss reduction), 20% (profit stop)]

    The simulator could then execute all 1:1 trades, and those that succeed could be passed to the next scaling step. The trades from the first step would then undergo the 1:5 simulation using a breakeven stop, and the combined results could be generated.

    Many thanks @ JD - we were not able to reach you because you didnt mentioned any email address. 

    For further enhancements pls join community.

    The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (‘CySEC’) is pleased to announce that, as part of its ongoing endeavors to help investors make better-informed investment decisions and to reduce the number of people making high-risk investments that may not be appropriate for them, it is today launching a new investor protection campaign to help tackle the growing international scourge of investment harm.

    ESMA’s Statement on Investment Recommendations on Social Media

    The European Securities and Markets Authority, the EU’s securities markets regulator, explains the rules that apply in situations where someone, based in or outside the EU, spreads information proposing an investment decision about EU financial instruments (e.g. stocks or bonds), aimed at a broad audience. Spreading information would include sharing an opinion about the present or future price of a particular stock for example. In EU law, this is called an investment recommendation.

    Interesting part, last para

    What happens if the rules are not respected? EU Regulators proactively track conduct, orders and transactions by investors in the market. If there is reason to do so, they investigate. If the rules relating to investment recommendations are not adhered to, there can be fines or  further supervisory actions, which may potentially include the referral to Public Prosecutors.

     

     

     

  4. For traders facing IT and similar troubles with their favorite financial service providers we are planning to develop another Twitter-API.

    When it comes to an outage you just have add a specific key to your tweet and then the tweet will automatically appear on our news section ticker. That way everyone can easily share such information with trading fellows.

    In case you have additional ideas on this, let us know.

  6. Hello all DDH fellows, 

    we are proud to announce that we are released the first stable version of the community platform.

    The SSO from the main portal page (master) to the community (slave) is part of the roadmap our development teams are working on.

    For the moment and until we are done with the SSO stuff you have to apply for two accounts, on main page and here at the forum platform.

  7. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of Payment for Order Flow

    Very interesting stuff... I'm curious about how that kind of insights would effect the business of the neobrokers when authorities read the research

    Not sure what to think about the controversy around payment for order flow (PFOF)? While lots of opinions have circulated since GME-gate in January, we think there’s a lot more to consider than what’s covered in the articles you’ve read so far.

    In our latest paper, we break down the market structure of retail trading, introduce the topics left undiscussed to date, and support our assessment with analytics. We address:

    • How wholesaling is different from market making on exchanges
    • How much price improvement retail investors really get by routing orders to wholesalers and how it compares to price improvement on exchanges
    • How much the bid-offer spread would narrow if retail order flow moved to exchanges
    • Is the current wholesale structure monopolistic? How information asymmetry between wholesalers and exchange market makers affects bid-offer spreads

  8. It appears that the website is in some kind of "beta" modus - online but with a number of bugs and "work in progress" information.

    As nothing has changed since a couple of weeks I'd treat this provider website rather as a "Zombie".  Such a weak online communication is always a sign of missing compliance.
