i trade futures (mainly fixed income), no stocks. have changed the clearer and will see how things work out there in the new year...

that´s what i suspect. I´m actually going to switch to a different clearer and see how things work out. is there anything i can test/check/ask ahead of starting to trade? I´m thinking of number of connected remote traders for example or other things that could impact performance...

I´ve traded in arcades for years and have tried to switch to home trading a few months back. Have a 100 mg fiber-optic line and ping time to my clearer´s server of around 40ms. Most of the time the connection was quite good and I didn´t notice any differnence vs. what I was used...

Agree on aircraft engines, can't really say much about the educational system and regarding pharma... In my previous professional life I used to look at some of the big pharma companies and their patent situation at the time looked dire (expiring patents vs. newly registered). Could have...

Don't want to spoil the party but what does the UK produce that the commonwealth contries can't get cheaper (China) or better (Germany) somewhere else...

Hey there, posted this question in another thread but without getting any reply... so once again. Can you guys recommend any good/reputable performance tracking software/platform? The intention is, obviously, to use the tracked results to try to raise capital down the line. Thanks.

my apologies in advance if it has already bean mentioned/listed somewhere earlier in this thread but could you guys please tell me a few credible performance tracking sites / platforms for the purpose of later raising capital from hedge funds / venture capitalists? thanks.

I think it was invertedCurve who mentioned that correlations (obviously historical ones) have not been working at all lately. Having been successfully trading for a couple of years now several of my correlation-based strategies are struggling big time (actually I know for a fact that I am...

Take it easy man. I am not selling any tax advice or anything the like. My primary objective was to find other traders willing to share an office in the area. In the process I mentioned that there my be some efficient tax-solutions for the individuals depending on the specific...

The best option I came across is Hepps but that is just worth the effort if you make enough. There are a few more exotic structures but these are, as far as I can tell and I am not an expert, more grayish.
