1) yes 2) to you not directly to the clients; yes 3) as 2 4) Thats down to you and them but I would suggest between $60 & $100 per mth end statement depending upon your strategy and the workload involved...plus I think there was a 1 time account set up fee of approx $600 Peace and Profit

Thks, saw that. Not concerned as all of our systems have been giving bearish indicators for the last 5 weeks, so we are playing the short side more agressively at the moment!!Could see it to 7-8000, but 3600 seems a little harsh! Peace & profit

I hope it was a profitable 'lucky guess'!!!! Excellent call....we had an objective of 10812 on this move, its actaully the last of our current profit objectives on the shorts from last month. We are quantatative but I have in interest in TA & somewhere on this thread there is a mention of a...

Little off topic but do you know Mike Ratcliffe at Warwick Wines???

Drawdowns are the bain of every CTA's life....they make you or they break you in my opinion. Its all well and good making 70% per year but if you are liable to drop 50% no institution and very few hnw's will dig much deeper than the headline numbers seen on most ranking sites. I've had 2 of...

Fair enough, you started condescendingly but pulled thru with merit!!!! I was interested in your program as it is similar in nature to one of ours. I have a relatively successfully CTA which I run from SW France and am also involved with a research group based in Italy that has come up with an...

You may have already answered this question, but I only briefly scanned the jounal.....I understand very well you concept and have come across many similar ones over the years, some too good to be true (& they were) and some that just about gave you an edge (which is all you need). Thus 2...

Monday price action and today's break of 1.1950/30 is negative for the EUR. Now as long as the EUR remains below the 1.1975/1.2000 area the most likely scenario is to drop to min 1.1825/1.1770 and maybe even towards the Long Term support at 1.1640

Sorry dude...thought he'd bailed!!! or blew up!! I'm moist with anticipation! Hopefully those who have been observing this thread have learned! Peace and Profit

I trade both at the moment...(2 different systems) have no probs with the futures 24 hrs...can have small issues with FX at certain times like $/SF after 4pm London time (especially Fridays) that you don't get with futures... Horses for courses I guess! Peace & Profit

Not sure I totally agree with you there....I trade both Futures and FX and the slippage for larger orders is definitely greater on the futures markets than the FX. That being said I don't trade with retail FX houses, but unless your phone broking retail FX (as in calling and asking for...

hmmmm... 1st post newbie getting in with the Bird....haven't we seen this routine somewhere before!! To the Bird good squawking of late...1258 a coming!! Peace & Profit

Its a coming!!!:D

Last week Euro broke directly above 1.1980. This week: bullish above 1.1995/1.1950 to 1.2145. The clear break of 1.2145 will confirm a continuation of the recovery to min 1.2235/50 and even 1.2320/60. Else, 1.1950 broken, drift back to 1.1825/1.1770 and even max 1.1660/40 (trend support)...
