100k Registered Users of TL!

Congrats TL on this impressive Milestone. High Quality board indeed!! Ingot54 +1 for the book -
BlowFish is spot on in post #5. The only advantage of spotforex is indeed being able to trade microlots. CME introduced de micro futs a couple years ago, tried them for a bit, but the volume was too low back then. Not sure if it has improved since. Having traded both i have to say the tools for future trading are also a lot better, ie. i like Ninjatrader a lot better then i do MT4. I've read that some brokers like Forex.com offer Ninja for forex but most do not.

How Much Does the IRS Tax Your Trade Winnings?
WillemDrees replied to ctvas's topic in Beginners Forum
Now there's a question i always wanted to reply to. I live in the Netherlands, so i haven't a clue how much the IRS taxes trading profits, i've read numbers between 20 and 30%... The reason i love to to reply is i still find it unbelievable that the Dutch IRS taxes trading profits a tiny 1.2%......and that's on profits OVER €25K/year. Amazing but true. This has to change at some point but it's been like this for ages.
