Seems like the trades happen slower, but prices are cheaper... maybe I should buy on one and sell on the other?

it's probably because not a lot of folks are there and no euro transfer so far, first adopters always enjoy some advantages Smiley

People haven't yet gotten money into both exchanges so that they can profit of the price difference. I know I'm working on it. When there are enough people playing both exchanges prices will track to within the commission price.

I think they make money off the spread. Look at the buy/sell quotes.

The spread will decrease as volume increases.
