How to backtest using tick data – the Tick Data Suite guide
This guide assumes that you already downloaded your tick data and processed it into an FXT file and several HST files, all of which were copied in the proper locations. If you haven't completed the steps above, please visit the How to download free tick data and the How to prepare your tick data for Metatrader 4 guides.
First of all, you have to use the Tick Data Suite installer (available on the tick data downloads page). After the install process is finished, it will automatically run the Configuration tool; you should use this opportunity to install the Tick Data Suite in the Metatrader 4 folders that you want to use it with by using the
Select Path button, navigating to the path of your choice and finally pressing the
Copy TDS button which will activate the Tick Data Suite with the selected terminal and will prompt you about the placement of an icon on the desktop for easier access.
Once the Tick Data Suite was installed, all you have to do is start it Metatrader 4 via the desktop icon or simply double click tds.exe in the Metatrader 4 folder. That's all there is to it, really. It will start your Metatrader 4 terminal and all the features will be enabled: there will no longer be a 2 GB limitation, FXT files will not get overwritten, variable spread FXT files will automatically get detected and tick data backtests and optimizations will work (assuming you are using tick data FXT files).
Multiple Metatrader 4 installations
If at a later time you wish to use the Tick Data Suite with a different Metatrader 4 terminal on the same computer, simply execute the TDS Configuration program (located in Tick Data Suite in your Start Menu Programs folder) and repeat the process outlined above: select the path of the Metatrader 4 terminal that you want to use it with and click
Copy TDS. Once you're done with that, in order to start the selected Metatrader 4 terminal with tick data operation enabled you can either use the desktop shortcut (if you chose to create one) or you can navigate to its folder and double click tds.exe.
Slippage configuration
Important information
Starting with v1.1.9b, the Tick Data Suite also allows simulating slippage in backtests. The slippage configuration is not a walk in the park so I will try to describe it here and offer some examples. The slippage settings can be accessed in the TDS Configuration tool, located in Start -> All Programs -> Tick Data Suite.
First thing you need to know is that slippage can be completely disabled or enabled by using the
Enable slippage features checkbox. If you wish to have no slippage at all in your backtests, just leave it disabled (which is also the default value).
The second very important thing is that the slippage parameter sent with the OrderSend() calls in your expert advisor matters. If your EA slippage parameter does not meet the slippage configured in the Tick Data Suite (it must be larger or equal), you will receive OrderSend error 138 errors in your backtest (error 138 is requote). The slippage is fully randomized using the current tick price as its base so attempting the order again after such a requote error will result in a different slippage value. As such, if your EA is using a slippage value that is too small for the slippage configured in the Tick Data Suite and at the same time it uses an order retry loop, it will effectively retry until it gets a slippage that is acceptable, thus the slippage that you get in the end will be within the value configured in the EA, not the values configured in the Tick Data Suite. Simply put, when enabling slippage you need to make sure that the slippage setting in your EA is larger than the maximum slippage configured in the Tick Data Suite. A special case is constituted by pending orders (stop & limit) and by SL and TP hits – the slippage requested by your EA is completely disregarded for these orders; in other words, the slippage requested via OrderClose() is always honored but the slippage requested via OrderSend() is only acknowledged for market orders. Also, it is very important to note that the slippage value passed to OrderSend is in points (not pips) so for a broker with 5 digits, you have to use a value of 10 for a maximum allowed slippage of 1.0 pips.
Third, all the slippage is logged in your backtesting journal. Take a look in there to get an idea how much slippage each order received.
If you're using the Tick Data Suite with a 4 digit broker (although I would strongly recommend against that since you lose the 5th digit precision that comes with pretty much all tick data), the slippage is rounded to the closest integer value. For example, a slippage of 1.5 pips becomes a slippage of 2 pips and a slippage of 1.4 pips becomes a slippage of 1 pip.
Before we delve into the actual settings, another thing that you should know is that you don't need to restart your Metatrader 4 terminal for the slippage settings to take effect. All you need to do is start a new backtest and the settings will take effect immediately. Note the settings will not be applied if a backtest is in progress – you must stop it and restart it for the new settings to come into play.
The actual slippage configuration
The settings that control the slippage range are
Max favorable slippage and
Max unfavorable slippage – they allow you to configure how much slippage can be experienced by your orders in your backtests. If you set
Max favorable slippage to 1.0 and
Max unfavorable slippage to 1.5, it follows that you might get between 0 and 1.0 pips positive slippage and between 0 and 1.5 pips negative slippage. Please note that by "favorable" (positive) slippage, we understand slippage that favors you, in essence a better price – in the case of a long order, this means a price that is below the current Ask quote; in the case of a short order, it means a price above the current Bid quote. Similarly, "unfavorable" (negative) slippage means slippage that results in a deficit for you – for long orders, a higher price; for short orders, a lower price.
Custom % chance to slip setting controls what percent of your orders will have slippage. If you set this to 50, half of your orders will have a slippage of 0 pips. If you set it to 75, a quarter of your orders will have a slippage of 0 pips. Please note that it is still possible for the other orders to end up with a slippage of 0 pips so the percent of orders with 0 slippage will be slightly higher in the end, depending on the max slippage values configured. In short, with a setting of 75 as in the example above, for 75% of the orders slippage is computed normally while for the other 25% of the orders slippage is completely skipped. This setting is disabled by default, meaning that all your orders will have slippage (and some of them might have a slippage of 0 pips because the slippage range is between 0 and MAX).
Custom % favorable odds is a somewhat tricky setting. Enabling this setting changes the slippage behavior in a significant way:
- When this setting is disabled (the default), slippage is simply calculated randomly as a number between -MAX_UNFAVORABLE_SLIPPAGE and MAX_FAVORABLE_SLIPPAGE (both values included).
So, if you set
Max favorable slippageto 1.0 and
Max unfavorable slippageto 3.0, you may get slippage in the range of -3.0 to 1.0. There is an equal chance for each value to show up, so, for example, -1.5 will appear about as often as 0.7. This means that with the given -3.0 to 1.0 range, there will be a 75% chance to have negative slippage and a 25% chance to have positive slippage.
As a second example, if you set
Max favorable slippageto 1.0 and
Max unfavorable slippageto 1.0, you will have slippage in the range of -1.0 to 1.0, with a 50% chance to get positive slippage.
- When enabling
Custom % favorable odds, it allows you to control how many of the trades with slippage will have positive slippage.
Custom % favorable oddsto 50,
Max favorable slippageto 1.0 and
Max unfavorable slippageto 3.0 will mean that for 50% of the orders that slip you will get a positive slippage between 0.0 and 1.0 while for the rest of 50% you will get a slippage between -0.0 and -3.0.
If you use a value of 25 for
Custom % favorable odds, 2.0 for
Max favorable slippageand 2.0 for
Max unfavorable slippage, you will get favorable slippage between 0.0 and 2.0 for 25% of the slipped orders and unfavorable slippage between -0.0 and -2.0 for the rest of the 75%.
What is very important to note is that the
Custom % chance to slip affects the resolved percentages influenced by the other settings. If you set
Custom % chance to slip to 80 and
Custom % favorable odds to 50, it means only 80% of the trades will have slippage and 50% of those (so 40% of all the trades) will have positive slippage while the rest of 50% (again 40% of all trades) will have negative slippage.
Custom % chance to slip and
Custom % favorable odds are meant for fine tuning. If in doubt, just leave them disabled (as they are by default) and tweak your
Max favorable slippage and
Max unfavorable slippage settings.
The other slippage settings are somewhat self-explanatory.
Limit orders have slippage controls whether your pending limit orders (buy limit, sell limit) will experience slippage when they are opened.
Stop orders have slippage controls whether your pending stop orders (buy stop, sell stop) will have slippage when they come into play.
Auto-closed orders (SL, TP) have slippage obviously refers to the Stop Loss and Take Profit orders and, if enabled, will result in the SL and TP closings of your position having slippage. Please note that this also includes orders that are closed at stop (either the end of the backtest or a stop out).
Slippage during optimizations lets you enable or disable slippage while you are running optimizations. I strongly recommend leaving this disabled (as it is by default) because it ultimately leads to different results with the same parameters due to the randomization of slippage, thus potentially making you disregard optimization results that might otherwise be promising.
3rd party software
What is a bit more tricky is using the Tick Data Suite with 3rd party products which assume they have to open terminal.exe. If you run into such a product, you have to rename the original terminal.exe to one of the following:
- terminal.bak.exe
- mt4.exe
- terminal_.exe
then you have to rename tds.exe to terminal.exe. Since command line parameters are seamlessly passed, any 3rd party product should work without problems. The Walk Forward Analyzer author was gracious enough to add a simple checkbox that allows using the Tick Data Suite even without having to rename.
Potential issues with 3rd party software
When using 3rd party tools that automate backtesting and optimization, some problems may come up with EAs that require a connection to the broker even when they are running in a backtest, for example Wallstreet Forex Robot or FAP Turbo. This is caused by the fact that the backtest/optimization are starting too fast since the data is already there. You will know you've run into this problem if your EA works fine with the 3rd party tool of your choice with history center data, but refuses to trade when you're using tick data; it's typical for EAs that authenticate the account number with their server. There is a workaround for this issue that involves increasing the backtest start delay via the Configuration program – just set it to something like 3 and you should be fine.
Hey Birt,
your tds is an awesome tool, great job 🙂
For v1.08 you may consider the following two options
a) integrate a button which converts unprofitable EAs into some kind of an endless ATM
b) integrate a feature which allows to backtest and optimize brokers with fixed commissions (e.g. my broker gets 0.5EUR per 0.1 Lot; 1EUR for 0.2 Lot, 1.5EUR for 0.3 Lot aso)
is this even possible? aren't there any other guys requesting this?
Glad you liked it! 🙂
a) Uhm, yeah, I wish I could. On the same topic, a feature was planned for v1.0.8 that would credit the user's Paypal account with $10000 each time it was pressed but it will not make it in due to technical issues ("Error: insufficient funds").
b) You can already simulate that indirectly by using a pip-based commission and calculating the pip value for 1 lot versus the EUR value, converting to USD (or whatever the account base currency is) and multiplying by your commission with the drawback that the EURUSD exchange rate at which the commission is calculated would be constant during the backtest. Adding the option for money commission to CSV2FXT is not such a good idea because I already get enough questions about it as it is and it would only serve to further confuse people. You can easily change it by editing FXTHeader.mqh and replacing COMM_TYPE_PIPS with COMM_TYPE_MONEY around line 88 and recompiling CSV2FXT afterwards. Note that if you do that, the commission parameter in CSV2FXT will no longer be expressed in pips, but in money using the base account currency.
See "Potential issues with 3rd party software" above. It's meant for programs that start MT4 with an INI file and automatically start a backtest – some EAs won't work in such a case because they expect a connection to the broker server to be made before they authenticate.
For example this setting is required to use the Tick Data Suite in conjunction with the Walk Forward Analyzer for optimizing EAs that authenticate with a server (such as FAP Turbo).
Bottom line is: if you don't use the Walk Forward Analyzer or any other 3rd party tool that automatically runs MT4 and starts a backtest, never change this delay.
Megadroid requires server authentication and validates your account number, so it needs your MT4 terminal to be connected to the broker. Set the Delay setting to 3 to achieve that. If you still get no trades, verify that it works in a normal backtest (no optimization). If it doesn't, use visual mode and the backtesting journal to find out more information.
As for the GPS2, isn't that a signal service? If so it's not possible to backtest it.
The new slippage simulation is amazing, I´ve just configured it for the values of my own broker (calculated everything via a Excel file of 2000 past trades on my broker), also the special ones like favorite odds, was able to calculate all that via Excel and input it into the TDS config. It´s a real eye opener for backtests – thanks a lot. It´s a very important feature that can hugely affect live-trading and hence a backtest on a strategy, especially for scalping EAs. Equity almost did go down by half thanks to this simulation and matches up very close to my live-trades. Keep it up, that is a absolute unique feature and must have been a pain to code! Good work!!!
That would be most likely because your MT4 folder is in Program Files and you have UAC enabled.
There are several possible solutions:
- Move your MT4 folder from Program Files to a folder not affected by UAC (e.g. to the Desktop). Install TDS using the Configuration tool after you moved it.
- Head to Start -> Programs -> Tick Data Suite, right click the Configuration program and select Run as Administrator. You should now be able to install it to your MT4 folder. Note that if you do this, your MT4 is still affected by UAC and you might run into other problems with the files.
- Disable UAC. See the FAQ for more information. I wouldn't recommend this, though.
I really like the slippage feature. However one thing I have not yet managed to do is the following:
1. when entering the market with stop orders you usually get negative slippage
2. when exiting the market with a hard sl you usually get negative slippage
3. when exiting the market with a hard tp you usually get negative slippage
Is there any way to reflect this behaviour in the settings? As far as I understood you can only set the odds for all types of orders right? In reality you are much more likely to get negative slippage with a hard sl than a hard tp.
If you're not getting 99%, it means you are not using tick data in your backtest. Make sure that you created an FXT for the D1 timeframe and that it's in your history/broker folder. Note that right now you probably have an FXT there created by MT4 so you will have to delete that one and replace it with the tick data FXT.
Hi Birt,
I am using the Tick Data Suite and downloaded and converted a lot of tick data and all went fine. Now I have installed a new MT4 terminal of another broker and went to the whole process again (installed the TDS.exe file, converted the csv-files into fxt- and hst-files and moved them to the right directories) but if I want to run a backtest of i.e 2010 up till now, it's showing me the message that there is no data, but if I start the backtest at the beginning of 1984 is running smoothly, showing trade dates in 1984. So I guess something went wrong with the date conversion/processing. Do you know how I can solve this issue?
Kind Regards,
(I posted this question already in one of the other sections but I thought this page/section is more relevant)
When converting, you enabled the TimeShift parameter which shifts data 28 years in the past. See http://eareview.net/tick-data/convert-tick-data for more information.
1) can we add in latency for order fills? This is a little different from slippage. We can actually randomize (with minimum and maxmimum values) the length of time between the opening/closing price at time of request vs the price of the actual fill. I think this would be more accurate for some strategies than trying to manipulate the slippage artificially.
Slippage is caused mainly by the difference between when the price at order request and when it was filled.
2) can we add latency between back-to-back orders as they are being opened/closed? There are times where I do a closeAll, and I don't want all 10 orders closing in the same second. I might want to close 1-3 per second.
3) Is it possible to only enable slippage for orders when they are opened and no when they are closed. Or when they are closing, but not when they are opened?
hi birt, if i have configured TDS for 1 tick of slippage and my EA does not have a parameter for slippage (like the sample MACD EA), i should get error 138, correct?
if so the remedy would be either 1. reprogram slippage into the EA, 2. reconfig TDS for no slippage. is there some other way to account for slippage in the Strat Tester itself or something?
All EAs must supply a slippage figure with their trade requests. Just because you can't configure it, doesn't mean it's not there. Your EA probably has a hardcoded value. Now, if this value is higher than the value you configured for slippage, you will have no problem; however, if it's lower, you will get a lot of error 138.
And yes, the solutions are as you mentioned, except that if the EA already submits a generous slippage figure you might not have a problem at all. Just check for error 138 in the backtesting log.
Please see the slippage parameter at http://docs.mql4.com/trading/ordersend
The spread is configured when creating the FXT with CSV2FXT. Simply type the desired spread in the Spread field and that's going to be the spread for your FXT no matter if you test during the week or during the weekend and no matter what you specify in the strategy tester.
If you wish to change the spread without recreating the FXT, you will have to use a hexeditor, see the FAQ for more information.
Last time I checked MT5 wasn't creating FXT files, it was dynamically generating interpolated ticks from bars. Granted, this was a long time ago so things might have changed.
The actual problem is not this, though; it's the fact that it is still largely unpopular despite being here for quite a few years. Long story short, it is not really worth the time.
Hello Birt, So I have been using the tick data suite and was originally just using tickstory lite to transfer and convert the data. For some reason or another I cannot get it to work that way anymore. So now I'm trying SQ tick data downloader but I cannot get your scripts to find my csv file and in the troubleshooting section it only says how to fix it for windows 7. I have windows 8.1 so would you happen to know what I should do? Sorry man, I've been trying to fix the issue but I'm not having any luck.
Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just for reference, sending me an email usually results in a faster response time than posting here.
Your problem is most likely that you're not putting the CSV in the correct folder. In MT4, go to File -> Open Data Folder and in there put the CSV into MQL4/Files.
If you experience further problems, please drop me an email and copy/paste the relevant lines from your experts log.
This article covers how to use the csv2fxt scripts to convert tick data, including the correct folders to place everything in.
As a side comment, I use SQ TDD to download the data from dukascopy, and then I use tickstory to generate the csv files, usually in groups of 3-5 symbols at a time, with tickstory lite, you can specify the output folder and customize the name of the output file. So I drop the csv files directly into one terminal that is dedicated to creating fxt files for backtesting. IC Markets is a good broker that has all of the FX and major CFD symbols. IamFX is another one. csv2fxt should detect the symbol correctly. Global Prime Au is good just for FX. You have all of the 1-min charts open and save that profile. Each time you open that mt4, all you have to do is drag the csv2fxt script onto the charts. Always generate one less than the total amount of charts simultaneously. So if you have 4 cores, then only process max 3 fxts at once (each will use 1 processor).
I then copy the generated fxt files to a separate mt4 (same broker) launched with TDS and do 100% of the backtesting there.
Hi Birt,
i've dowloaded all cross and create FXT and HST file in a different folder from origin (in a big size disk); so, i've copied TDS in right folder and change start string with "/portable", but when start MT4, after one minute, message me with stop running and close application.
some idea ?
Is this folder on a network drive? MT4 has huge problems running in /portable mode from a network drive. In any case, I would advise trying to run MT4 from the same folder with the /portable switch but without the TDS and see what happens. Also try to run with TDS but without /portable, see what happens in that case.
Anyway, if that's the issue, I suggest using your regular system drive, getting rid of the /portable switch and simply setting up a junction for the tester/history folder to the big drive. If you don't know how, google NTFS junctions and use something like the sysinternals junction tool.
Thanks Birt.
No network drive, is internal in my desktop without network.
If i lunch MT4 with original exe in portable mode seems ok, but crash application when i activate tester strategy. If i lunch TDS without portable, it doesn't find indicators and configuration and create all folder in system disk.
I'll try with junction…see you soon.
Great product Birt,
Should I be selecting "current" for spread when backtesting, or will TDS use the actual bid/ask spread with any setting?
Also, MT4 seems to hang for anywhere from 5-10 minutes after hitting start. Journal only shows "Actual tick file "d;/xxxxx" found". Eventually , orders will begin to scroll up and the test will complete. It's a core i7 PC w/ 16gb ram, so I don't think my PC is the issue.
TDS will only use the actual bid/ask spread from the CSV if you select the "Use real spread" option when converting via CSV2FXT. Otherwise, selecting Current in that dropdown will use the current spread whereas typing a number will use that many pip fractions (e.g. on a 5 digit broker, typing 10 will result in 1 pip spread).
Regarding MT4 doing nothing for 5 minutes, could you try a different EA? For instance, the MACD EA. The delay is definitely not normal. Also, ensure that you didn't select a start date that would make MT4 skip through the file until it reaches it.
Hi Birt,
What does it mean when you get an ordersend error 138 whilst doing a backtest with TDS enabled but without the slippage simulation settings turned on?
My tests keep stalling with an error message printed to the log saying 'waiting for next tick', but that tick never comes.
My coder is saying it's a problem with my data, that the price jump from one tick to the next tick is so large (4.8 pips) that it causes the error, and that nothing can be done in the code to fix it.
Have you seen this before?
Kind regards,
You shouldn't get error 138 if slippage is turned off. No idea why that happens. If you didn't sort it out already, email me some 20 lines from your backtesting log before and after the error.
A price jump of 4.8 pips from a tick to the next is something that happens quite often, on some brokers pretty much every time there are important news (e.g. non-farm payroll). If your EA gets stuck on such situations, it's… let's just say it's not ideal. I don't want to accuse anyone of poor programming, but clearly your EA has some problems. I'd advise backtesting some other EA such as the MACD EA on the same data to see if it works fine.
Newbie to backtesting and ea's in general, and a bit of a strange question:
Trying to run mt4 in portable mode due to data size issues.
When I launch mt4 via TDS via TickStory, portable mode is launched.
But when I go into my mt4 folder, and launch mt4 via TDS, it keeps going to the non-portable mode.
I feel like there's an obvious solution to this? Please help 🙂
(Also – is it necessary/better to keep launching via TickStory when I've got TDS?)
BIRT, I need your help, please, I've carefully read all the info in your site and followed the instructions but cannot get the backtest with variable spread to work.
Let me explain the two scenarios:
–Method 1–
I've downloaded tick data with a free aplication Tick Downloader and exported it to a csv file, then generated the FXT with your CSV2FXT scritp. I made a MT4 backtest and got really different results that with metaquotes data, the FXT did not get overwrited, so I assume tick data worked. So far so good. I regenerated the FXT with real 'variable' spread setting and did some backtesting and it seems MT4 takes the fixed spread value of the tester, it reacts to that value no matter what.
–Method 2–
I've installed Tick Data Suite trial with no problem. For what I see in MT4 logs, it integrates with MT4 as a plugin, and shows a new setting in the tester: 'use tick data'. Then I used Tick Data Manager to download EURUSD history and for my surprice it seems that it is not using the FXT file, it reads the downloaded data directly. So nice, BUT again the backtesting shows that metatrader takes the fixed spread value in the tester, and depends on it.
I really appreciate it if you could help me.
How do I know if variable spread values are used?
Thank you in advance
Like Jon said, make an EA that prints the spread on the chart and backtest it in visual mode. With TDS v2.1.3, all spread fetching methods should work – Ask-Bid, MarketInfo, SymbolInfoInteger. Also, with TDS2 at the end of the backtest it will say Spread: Variable in the report.
Naturally, you must enable the variable spread checkbox in the Tick data settings dialog for variable spread to work.
If you want an EA that prints the spread, I have a ready-made one, please open a support ticket and I will send it to you.

Oaxaca suffers under rebellion
OAXACA, Mexico - When night falls, protesters stretch barricades across the streets, hoping to seal off this colonial city from government invasion.
Depending on the location, the roadblocks take the form of heavy stones, thick strands of barbed wire, pieces of sheet metal or the burned-out hulls of school buses. At every barricade, nocturnal fires char the cobblestone streets.
Four months ago, Oaxaca conjured up images of a magical city, a place whose history, culture and architecture lured legions of tourists and a generation of expatriates.
But today Oaxaca, Mexico's second-poorest state, has become a catchword for unrest and social frustration that many think could spread throughout the country, already inflamed by an election crisis.
Over the summer, a teachers' strike - an annual springtime event in Oaxaca - blossomed into full-scale rebellion.
Teachers and supporters have driven the governor and police from Oaxaca City, the state capital, and now control this mountain metropolis of 400,000 residents, many of them poor indigenous migrants from the countryside.
Oaxaca's once-booming tourist trade, the city's undisputed economic engine, has been devastated: More than a dozen restaurants and hotels have closed, an estimated 1,000 jobs have been lost and trade groups put economic losses at more than $40 million.
Protesters block streets, on guard against federal forces that they fear will be sent in to restore order.
Tourism officials say it will take months or perhaps years to dig out of the hole.
"It will take a long time to position Oaxaca once again as the tourist destination it was - safe and attractive," said Joaquin Morales Noyola, president of an umbrella group of business associations.
For teachers and their supporters, the social movement spawned by the strike is nothing less than a revolution against Mexico's authoritarian past.
While Mexico ended 71 years of uninterrupted rule by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, in 2000 with the election of President Vicente Fox, the PRI has held onto strongholds in the poorer south, including Oaxaca. Much of the anger is directed against PRI Gov. Ulises Ruiz, who protesters say represents the worst abuses of the old regime - including physical attacks on dissidents and the shuttering of opposition newspapers.
"He's a symbol of a government, of a system that the people don't want anymore," said Flavio Sosa Villavicencio, a leader of the Popular Assembly of the Oaxacan People, or APPO, an umbrella group of militants. "He's like the Berlin Wall. The people wanted to knock down the wall because it was a symbol."
Official negotiations between the government and militants in Mexico City have so far gone nowhere, and with no solution on the horizon, tourism workers are entering a state of depression.
"It's a nightmare that doesn't end," said a bored-looking Luis Martinez, who has sold brightly-colored woolen Oaxacan rugs on the city's main tourist drag for 20 years. "We're not even doing 5 percent of the sales we were doing."
Taxi driver Fernando Rivas says the lack of tourists has caused several of his fellow drivers to migrate to the United States. Complicating the business woes is the growing insecurity caused by having no police in the city.
"It's very dangerous," said Rivas, a father of three who recently began ending his shift at 10 p.m., three hours earlier than normal. "You have to be alert."
Several taxi drivers have been robbed and assaulted in recent weeks. Cab drivers took matters into their own hands on at least one occasion, capturing a suspected robber and setting his hands on fire.
Such tales of vigilantism have proliferated in recent weeks as residents whisper of an influx of criminals from other parts of Mexico, drawn by the power vacuum. The APPO has also paraded wayward bureaucrats from Ruiz's government in front of the crowds in the Zocalo and splashed them with green paint.
Yet what is perhaps most notable is not the vigilantism, but the fact that there isn't more anarchy in a city without police. People still stop at red lights; stores aren't being looted; tourists aren't being shaken down leaving bank ATMs. A huge sign hanging over the street near Oaxaca's municipal market reads, "We are watching you! The merchants of this street are organized against the rats!"
And now that the police have abandoned the city, neighbors have taken to setting up their own barricades to protect their streets from criminals.
Caught in the middle, many businesses and churches hang white flags calling for peace.
Despite the anti-government graffiti splashed across many of Oaxaca's historic centers, the protest camps set up in Oaxaca's main plaza and the threat of violence, many tourists report feeling at ease in the city, at least during daylight.
"Oaxaca is operating on the honor system, and for the most part it's working all right," said Ron Mader, a former Austin, Texas, resident who moved to Oaxaca six years ago to run a travel Web site.
Tourists say that while Oaxaca is certainly less attractive than it's been in the past, there are some bonuses to visiting in the midst of a rebellion - lower prices and fewer tourists overrunning the interesting sites.
"The vibe doesn't seem bad," said Jeremy Foster, a 22-year-old college student from Montana visiting with his girlfriend. "I wanted to experience the atmosphere of the city as this was going on. The nature of the protests don't seem geared against the tourists."
The teachers' strike became a social movement in June, when Ruiz sent police armed with tear gas canisters to dislodge striking teachers from Oaxaca's main plaza, or Zocalo, once considered the finest in Mexico. The incursion backfired as teachers and supporters fought back with rocks and sticks, eventually driving riot police from the square and re-taking their positions.
In the aftermath, the teachers were joined by a cross-section of angry supporters - workers, farmer groups and more radical political associations, all forming the APPO.
Since then, protesters and government forces have battled over control of Oaxaca's media, principally its radio stations. The APPO seized several private radio stations after armed men shot up their own station. At least two people have died in the political violence.
Fox and his outgoing administration have come under heavy criticism for not solving the problem, which entered its fourth month last week. The PRI and the Oaxacan legislature have urged Fox to send in federal troops to squash the rebellion while teachers and their supporters say they won't cede control of the city until Ruiz leaves office.
The Oaxaca question is particularly sticky for incoming president Felipe Calderón, who like Ruiz in 2004, won an extremely close election amid allegations of fraud. Calderón, of the National Action Party, needs PRI support for his reform plans so he is wary of alienating the party over Oaxaca.
For teachers and their supporters, the temporary instability is a necessary step, they say. Villavicencio compares what has happened to the mind-set of the Oaxacan people to scrambled eggs - once broken, they can never be unscrambled.
"We see what is happening as a historic change," he said. "The fear that the people had before has been broken. The collective imagination has changed."

San Franciscans know a bodega when they see one. And Razan Market and Deli, at Ellis and Jones streets in the Tenderloin, has all the telltale signs.
For starters, the store is open 24 hours a day at one of the city's least savory corners -- though the doors do get closed and locked when uniformed cops show up, according to court filings -- and there's very little merchandise for sale inside.
Inside, undercover cops for almost a year sold store clerks items they said was stolen from Walgreen's, and were then offered -- and accepted -- crack for their trouble. (The market also passed a routine Health Department inspection during this time, but so it goes.)
It's farewell to all that, thanks to the judicial system -- though not the criminal branch. The market must close by April 1, according to court ruling in a civil suit announced Monday, pay an $80,000 fine, and turn over all "contraband and paraphenalia" to the city. Party in the evidence room, everyone!
Market operator Walid Adbelrahman, named in the civil suit, is among a number of unsavory merchants in the Tenderloin targeted for closure by City Attorney Dennis Herrera.
It's not entirely certain why police officers bought and sold allegedly stolen merchandise
since 2010 without making any arrests of store ownership or clerks. At one point, the store clerk referred to the undercover cop as "family," and requested that the next time he bring "aspirin, Neosporin, and Visine," according to court filings (essential gear for a drug corner, we suppose).
Cops responded to 118 calls for service at the market over a period of a year, Herrera's office said. At some point, the criminal investigation was turned over to Herrera's office, which began the closure proceedings that a judge signed off on Monday.
Herrera filed suit against Razan and Barah Market, at 200 Leavenworth Street, on Jan. 30. Barah Market is still open, at least for the time being.
Cocaine, crack, heroin, prescription painkillers, "and other drugs" were also sold at the market, along with cigarettes and crack pipes, according to a release from the City Attorney's Office. The market must close by April 1 and stay closed for at least a year, according to a Superior Court judge.

3:6 the king of Nineveh. Apparently a reference to the mighty king of Assyria. Although it is highly unlikely that Assyrian records would note this unusual occurrence, some scholars have associated this event with the religious reforms of Adad-nirari III (810–783 b.c.). The reign of Assur-dan III (772–755 b.c.) has also been suggested.
he arose . . . and sat in ashes. The king's response was as immediate and spontaneous as that of his subjects. Royal authority gave way to penitent humility. He exchanged his robes for sackcloth, his throne for a bed of ashes (cf. Job 42:6; Is. 58:5).

My last day in America!
After getting home early hours of the morning it was a sleepy kind of morning. 3.30am I ended up crawling in so it was makeup off and bed! I woke up randomly at half 7 and started to talk to people back home as it was a normal time. Then went back to sleep till 10! And then I went to check on miss Taylor and see if she was alive and kicking. She was still sound asleep with her two kitties. Got the best picture. Then I got myself ready as me ...
The Ez's Treat in Mesquite
... Arkansas River was crossed and blue patches started to appear in front. The bumps and the forests both returned. As the cloud broke up and began to dissipate, we were able to increase our height to 4,500ft and it became a little smoother. We were able to make out the Ouachita River flowing into the Missouri River as we followed Hwy 30 to Texarkana. Our friend, the Red River, appeared on the LHS, and as we crossed this at Texarkana, we were back in Texas just on ...
Last American Saturday
... place called Beauty Bar! It was just decorated in a beauticians kind of way. They had some good music & I kept requesting songs to. Taylor on the other hand had her head down the toilet already love her, she'd gone a bit hard to fast lol!! After being in there for an hour or so we had to take her home. Bless her I got her in the house safe and it was off to bed before the night kind of took off lol. So it was carlies turn to show me the town. ...
Job well done
... br> Tomorrow is golf at Firewheel country club, followed by lunch at Flying Fish. Wednesday is radio play day followed by an evening at Saltgrass steak house on the lake, Thursday, Jim's dog Mac goes to the vet early for neck surgery, we take the train downtown for the George W Bush library, then Friday is Fort Worth Stockyards.
Keep the comments coming.
Barry & Paul
Just a-chooglin on down to New Orleans
... because I got some beads! You know there has been lots of beers consumed when Tone is singing and dancing in public. Carol and Leanne headed off to the motel, while Jamie, Renee and I went for a walk down Bourbon St where we saw some guy get carried away in an ambulance. Then back to the motel where we talked absolute **** until 4.30am. Not a bad night as we shut down two bars and had heaps of fun.
Until next time, have fun because you know I will be.

A new updated version of calculating Battle Points is now available. We have also modified the matchmaking (QuickBattle) system to provide you with a more enjoyable gaming experience and more evenly balanced contests. All the information concerning these changes can be found in our FAQs.
Me too, its very annoying to face 30 star deck with my 22.. and not only once ..
WTF is going on? Quickbattle fails to find opponents in the DT like 7 minutes already...
It sometimes happens if there is no one with a deck with the sameish ammount of * as yours.
Basically, the match finder can't find a deck that has the same amount or close to the amount of stars to your deck. Example if you're running a 16* star deck. Out of say 2000 or such people playing online only less than 200 have 22* and below decks. What happen is either you end up getting matched by a 23*+ deck or the match finder shows the error message.
Seriously... fix the tiers or get rid of them. It's a little discouraging running a 23* deck only to face a 5 5 5 3 hand. To cap it all off you fight the same guy two times in a row!
If you don't know how to fix it, then get rid of it!!
@H-MP: Same Level.
Level 1: 0 to 23 stars
Level 2: 24 to 31 stars
Level 3: 32* stars+
I always run my deck with Level 2 ( 24 - 31* Stars ) but still half of my game time i get "No opponent... for quick battle"...

Dodge Caravan Headlights
The Dodge Caravan has been redesigned through many incarnations since it first appeared in 1984, and remains among the nation's most admired vehicles in its latest versions. Given the popularity of the minivan format it is no surprise that the Caravan is a popular choice for many, and with the current model range offering a number of different variations in terms of specification and interior trim the public gets more than they bargained for when choosing a Caravan to suit.
The latest generation of the Caravan comes with a wide range of engines, from the 3.3 liter to the top of the range 4.0 liter - all V6 configurations - and a great selection of trim levels plus a choice of four or six speed automatic transmissions. The Caravan is a very versatile vehicle, and continues to have a strong pull in a market place that is very hard fought.
As a quality vehicle in the minivan market it says a lot that VW made a version - the Routan - for sale in the North American and Mexican markets, and the Caravan continues to set the standard for minivans in this class.
The problem with headlights is that they are made of glass, and this is a fragile material; a Dodge Caravan headlight can be broken by flying debris - stones and much else - or as a result of a collision, and needs to be replaced to ensure safe and legal motoring. This is where the excellent dispatch team at Go-Parts.com comes in, for they - and the professionally trained and knowledgeable sales team - will be able to source the correct Caravan headlight for your model year.
An efficient order tracking system, coupled with a limited lifetime guarantee and a simple to use returns and replacement policy, ensures peace of mind to the customer, and we at Go-Parts put the customer first.
With membership of the Auto Body Parts Association, as well as CAPA, providing greater peace of mind and assurance, and the knowledge that your Dodge Caravan headlight will have been supplied by market leading manufacturers such as KOYO, TYC and DEPO, you can relax safe in the knowledge that you are getting the service you deserve at Go-Parts.com.
The parts I received from your company fit perfectly, were of high quality, and best of all, the price was reasonable and lower than your competitors. Quality at a fair price is what I found at @Go-Parts.com.

nice chairs, [...]. [...] The chairs have a pleasant design, with the slightly bent backs, and are a little taller and wider than other Windsor chairs that I had previously owned. The legs are reinforced, and they feel sturdy. The light oak color is pretty and matches my floors perfectly.
LOVE my four(4) chairs. Chairs are a perfect match for my talbe.
3 years - still like new!!! Combined this chair with a desk I made. Its color matched the desk perfectly, but the best part is that it might be the best made chair I've ever owned. After 3 years of everyday use, it still looks like new and is as sturdy as day 1.
Great chairs! [...] Easy to assemble. Sturdy, quality construction.
Rich Design Meets Ultimate Comfort. Once again, I was able to find the design, quality and value I was looking for in this product. [...]
EXactly what I wanted. Needed 2 more chairs for a set I had bought 3 years ago. SO happy I found their matching chairs. Just in time for relatives coming in for Thanksgiving. The table looks so nice with all 6 chairs now that I have decided to leave in the extra leaf.
great. we have a small house. These chairs are dressy enough for extra seating at holidays, great for poker games in the back garage, in summer can set outside for extra seating for parties. Have to have multi-functioning items when low on storage
Very nice chairs. We use them as extra dining room chairs. The seats are the same height as the other chairs, so guest are quite comfortable.
Perfect for our needs. These chairs have been perfect for our needs. They are lightweight, so the kids can easily move them about, and have a small footprint so they aren't sticking out from the table, and in the way. Best of all, they easily wipe clean with a wet rag or sponge.
beautiful contemporary. Great chairs for both traditional and contemporary settings. Medium height back opens up space around them. Lovely natural color. Clean elegant looking legs.
Sturdy Chair. great sturdy chair with many options for vinyl/fabric.
Beautiful Chairs. Took forever to ship. Even after 3 calls. I had to threaten to call the BBB.
Great Purchase. Great chairs, especially for smaller spaces, easy to put away. The look is simple and modern, you can even mix with rustic looking furniture and still looks great...
Good sturdy chairs at a fair price. Bought 2 packages (there are 2 chairs in each carton) to replace our aging dining room chairs. While they required assembly, this was not hard and the needed allen wrench was supplied. Very happy with these chairs, have received good compliments on them.
Nice chairs. Extra dining seating, extra seating when entertaining
Nice Chairs. I've had these chairs for about 3 months and I am happy with this purchase. The color charts are accurate and the chairs are super easy to assemble. I use them in my dining room with an Ikea dining table and the colors match very closely.
Dare to be different with this selection of dining chairs that will dwarf the limited selection you usually find at your local furniture store.

We began Water Babies in 2002, inspired by how much we loved taking our own daughter, Imani, to lessons. (And our son, Jai, now gets just as much pleasure from it too.)
Passion and enthusiasm are infectious and since then, we've grown to become the world's largest baby swimming company, teaching more than 28,000 children each week.
We operate through a remarkable network of family businesses - and their teams of meticulously trained instructors. Just like us, most responded to the call of baby swimming having first experienced it with their children.
The concept behind Water Babies is simple. We are teaching you to teach your baby to swim. Yet from this basic premise comes so much more.

Kidney cancer (also known as renal cell carcinoma [RCC]) is diagnosed in 36,000 patients and is the cause of death of 11-13,000 individuals yearly in the US;unfortunately (and for unknown reasons), the incidence of this disease is increasing in all groups. One-third of cases, many of whom are asymptomatic, are metastatic at diagnosis and there is currently no available biofluid diagnostic test or adequate treatment once diagnosed. Given the relationship of the kidney to the urine, RCC is ideally suited for identification of urinary markers. In this revised proposal, we will exploit the new science of metabolomics to discover a pattern of urinary metabolites which serve as biomarkers for RCC in patients who are at high risk for this disease. We will support our biomarkers discovery by using pathway and network analysis to confirm which metabolic pathways go awry in this disease, using RCC tissues and cell lines. Finally, we will test our biomarkers in new samples from both RCC non-RCC patients, including as controls patients with non-malignant renal disease as well as patients who have non-renal cancers. For this revision, we have improved the proposal by adding all of the requested preliminary data. We have also submitted two publications related to RCC metabolomics as well as proteomics. Our proposal is extraordinary in that we have assembled a unique cadre of collaborators: a cell biologist who is also a clinician- scientist nephrologist (Dr. Weiss), a proteomics and genomics expert (Dr. Perroud), four metabolomics experts (Drs Fiehn, Hammock, Michelmore, and Grant), two biostatisticians (Drs. Kim and Rocke), two oncologic pathologists (Drs. Grizzle and Borowsky), and two urologic oncologists (Drs. De Vere White and Evans) to utilize metabolomics to tackle the problem of diagnosis and treatment of a cancer which is difficult to diagnose, whose incidence is increasing, and for which current treatment options are dismal. We are pleased that the reviewers agreed that the experiments in our proposal were sound. Successful completion of these experiments will result in a major advance in diagnosis as well as, ultimately, the selection of optimal treatment regimens for this disease. Ours will be the first described use of this technology in urologic malignancy, and one of the first to exploit this technology in any cancer. Furthermore, our work can serve as a model for using metabolomics to glean oncogenic pathway and network data from a variety of cancers.
Kidney cancer is the 6th most common cancer in the US. This disease, which often has no symptoms, is frequently diagnosed at a late stage when the prospects for cure are dismal. This project will set the stage to ultimately lead to a simple, office-based urine test for detection of kidney cancer, which can be utilized in the primary care clinic and which will lead to many lives being saved through early detection of this deadly cancer.

when i was little, i had the same dress as the little girl crying in this picture… tho im pritty sure my parents never took a picture of me crying in it xD
Mom's shoe is missing because there is no way she could have positioned her foot in that awkward yet photographically appealing position with the shoe on. It makes total sense, sheesh.
lol i noticed that!
everything about this picture is awkward. to the maxx.
Who cares about the kids shirt. WHERE is her other shoe?????
the kid in the blue sweater looks like hes photoshopped on lol
The Dad looks like Jim on "The Office"!!!
HAHA! I'm so glad you saw this.
The king of awkwardness!
haha! he does!
I disagree.
In the little town of Stepford, Chucky "The Dragon" Kowalski had convinced his brother to work with him to take mind control of all the parents in town. Now if their sister would just stop resisting!! Mom had tried to resist but destroying one of her expensive Manolo Blahniks broke her and she quickly gave in.
FTW! Too funny – I hadn't even noticed the missing Mom's shoe.
I would TOTALLY wear that sweater!
Agreed. I'd feel unstoppable in it.
I agree MollyT: In that sweater, you're bulletproof.
that sweater is badass
I think the middle child may be smiling, because he's squeezing a nice hot one in his diaper.
I gather that Mom was willing to take this photo come hell or highwater, hence the missing shoe and screaming kids.
hahaha this comment cracked me up. i was thinking the same thing. what the hell happened to her shoe?! lol
The only one enjoying this at all is the kid in the middle. And by the look on his face, he seems to be enjoying it because no one else is.
I thought dragon-boy was a ventriloquist's dummy. I'm not totally convinced yet that he isn't.
That's the funniest thing ever!
Or is that a skirt?
I see a dinosaur, a penguin, and a candy cane. I don't understand the dragon reference. Is the off camera dragon what the lady and baby are looking at?
There's a LOT going on in this photo.
My first question was: Why did the photographer have the parents crouch in these odd positions? Why not have the kids stand on something? Mayhap the photog wanted to get the whole dragon sweater.
The screaming baby. The one happy child. The unhappy parents. They mystery of the missing shoe.
Now, that I think about it, that happy child looks very pleased with himself. I think he's behind the missing shoe! Perhaps having something to do with the baby, hence, her crying.
this is too funny, lmao!!
That's like a Surrealist painting.
More like a Fellini film.
Agreed, this is classic Fellini. Why is dad kneeling, why is mom with one shoe? So many questions. The most important being, why would any photographer in their right mind take the shot?!!
On top of everything else, the baby's dress has a candy cane and holly so this means it's also a christmas pic? Now that's awkward . . .
And what about dad's tie? Can't anybody straighten a tie for the poor guy?
This photo is the epitome of awkward… only normal thing about the picture is the dragon on the sweater… 🙂
Dragon Boy has that look in his eye – like we just took him off the sent from "Children of the Corn"!
He appears more of the "RED RUM!!!" type to me …..
I love love love the bald baby girl screaming for her life.
Is that a girl? I thought it was Mcauly Culkin.
OMG!! She DOES look like him!!! AAHHHHHHHH!!!!
has anyone asked about mom's other shoe?
i was just wondering the very same thing…where id it go?!?
That was the first thing I noticed….thye just seem ill-prepared for a family photo….
Nope, no one noticed it at all.
Dad must be kneeling down or he is very very short.
i thought i was the only one to notice…
The photographer has mom on a kiddie chair, dad's kneeling, what was the photographer thinking. Just get this done and get them outta there??
LOL I pity the boy with the dragon sweater he looks like he wants to breathe fire.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop…
The boy in the center is the only one smiling. I think he and dragon are in cahoots.
Looks more like a dinosaur than a drago to me.
I think Mom's missing shoe must have something to do with obvious lack of sleep from that baby that won't stop crying. This looks like a "take me away Calgon" commercial.
I'm guessing it was like a bad sitcom episode. They just went through a 15 minute session of chasing Mr. Giggles, a tantrum from Sweater Boy, and a diaper change for Susie, hence the crooked tie and missing shoe, which got lost in the midst of the hijinx and will turn up in Mom's purse when she takes out her checkbook to pay for this lovely portrait. Hilarity ensues!
Ha ha! As the mother of two who has had such moments before a professional photo, I can just picture that whole scene. Mom's hair is a mess too so I'm thinking it was one of those "just take the damn picture already so we can go home!" moment!
I have to go with this explanation! Been there, done that, too……
lol, I love that! There are too many damn lets get it done moments for me. Just had my b'day and the kid was crying for the damn cake, hubby was still clicking the pics, the cake was getting mushy… aarrgh
Where is her other shoe? Did they think we wouldn't notice if she tucked it back at a weird angle?
So much to be confused about in this picture…
uh, whats with her other shoe??
Also…one shoe?
Mom has only one shoe…. but dad has no legs!
Did the dragon chop his Dad in half?
The dragon ate mom's shoe, and it's not stopping there!
Why is the mom only wearing one shoe?
I find the fact that mom only has one shoe on a little more odd than that kids sweater!
What happened to the Moms other shoe?
The Dragon must have eaten moms other shoe.
I am laughing so hard I am crying. Love your comment.
hahahahahahahahahahah 🙂
this is thee funniest thing ever 🙂

1: Swarrrm – Pain ~ Panthersan
I realise that Japanese grindcore may not be immediate Earworm material, but I played this LP a few nights ago and the bluesy riff that runs through this track has been in my head ever since. Don't forget to play it LOUD……or perhaps cover your ears and hide behind the sofa!
2: Curved Air – Backstreet Love ~ Severin
Much though I love Sonja's recent adventures into ambience (aka Mask) I do find that this song takes me back to the age of thirteen and that performance on Top of the Pops. I saw the revamped version of the band in London recently and they can still send shivers down your spine.
3: P.J. Proby – Nikki Hoeky ~ SpottedRichard
Jim Ford wrote this song. Although it's been covered by Aretha Franklin, Bobbie Gentry and others, this is my absolute favourite version. P.J. Proby rocks!
4: Scarlet Fantastic – No Memory ~ Zalamanda
Apparently this song's parent album was rereleased last year, "due to popular demand" (I'm happy with my vinyl copy). This – the hit – is easily the pick of the record. Upbeat 80s pop-rock, slightly cheesey, sufficiently alternative/indie in feel to belie its PWL source.
5: The Housemartins – Flag Day ~ bishbosh
Is it juvenile of me to want to play this VERY LOUDLY every time I hear the words "Diamond Jubilee"?
6: Darden Smith – Little Victories ~ SweetHomeAlabama
Texan Darden Smith had one of those careers that never seemed to fit any defined radio format. After recording country in the '80s, his biggest hit "Loving Arms" was lite rock, and "Frankie and Sue" was a perfect retro-pop song that became an unlikely college radio/alternative hit and reads like a romantic comedy just waiting to be made.
PLEASE! Send your juiciest worms plus a line or two per song on how you got hooked: to either email@example.com or a wormbank near you. Thank you.

My first jeep
Joined the forum Saturday undecided what to get. Stopped at the dealer today and left with a new Wrangler Sport. It's the basic model with AC as the only option. I went this route because I'm planning on changing the wheels and tires and lifting it. I'm also going to put in a nice sound system. When its all said and done my jeep will be a head turner for sure and I already love it. I have a lot to learn and I'm excited to start from scratch. I will post pics of the progress once I figure out how to and actually have things to share
Congrats you will love it!
Welcome ... :wavey:
Your name implies you survived owning a Busa... let's hope your wallet survives your jeep. Welcome to wf.
Yes I survived owning one. Still do but it's for sale. I've had a few neat rides in my time but I think this will end up being my favorite. I'm already putting a wish list together. Lift, wheels, tires, fender flares, and upgrading the sound system. I'm hoping to have all this done in a few weeks. Just need the Busa so I don't drain my bank account. I'm looking forward to meeting other owners and taking mine to jeep week at the ocean
I was stationed in Japan and saw some Busas with freaking turbos! Unbelievable.

TDCC marks first partnership with ICSD participant
By Ted Chen, The China Post April 16, 2014, 12:04 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- In an effort to expand Taiwan's international bonds market, the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Co. (TDCC, 集保中心) held an account opening signing ceremony yesterday with Clearstream, an international clearing Europe-based counterpart.
The event yesterday marked TDCC's first direct partnership with an international central securities depository (ICSD), with Clearstream becoming a market participant via its account at the TDCC. The partnership is expected to bolster Taiwan's backend operations and bridge gaps between the local and international bond markets by utilizing the same global platform, while bringing in a more complete array of services to the investing public.
Previously, on April 4, TDCC established a similar partnership with Euroclear, the world's largest ICSD. The arrangement, however, required the facilitation of CitiBank Taiwan, who will serve as an agent financial institution.
Central Bank Deputy Director Yang Chin-long (楊金龍) stated in his address that the partnership will aid efforts in promoting the market for Formosa Bonds and renminbi-denominated financial products. Yang also stated that through the leveraging of Clearstream's established channels to the global markets, Taiwan's status among the major financial hubs is poised to be elevated. Yang mentioned that the government is entering the fourth phase in plans to improve the foreign currency clearing platform and begin promoting delivery versus payment (DVP) transaction mechanism.
Clearsteram Chairman Jeffrey Tessler stated that the opening of an account at the TDCC represents the first vital steps in bringing availability of the Taiwan market to investors worldwide. In her address, Wang Li-ling (王儷玲), Vice Chairperson at the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), mentioned that collaboration with Clearstream also extends to its futures exchange subsidiary Eurex, whose bid to acquire stakes in the Taiwan Futures Exchange (TAIFEX) has been approved. In addition, the TAIEX Futures based on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index is scheduled to be listed on the Eurex in the middle of May. Wang also stated that similar to the cross-straits ECFA trade agreement, the partnership with Clearstream is designed to lessen the hurdles restricting overseas investors and simplify required application processes.
TDCC Chairman Ding Kung-wha (丁克華) stated that in addition to the partnership with Clearstream, more milestones are set to be attained pending ongoing negotiations with depository and clearing institutions with 14 nations including the U.S., Japan, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong.
