Eikon / Xenith, yours for around $150 / month. It's a cut down version of Eikon which prices similarly to BB, and they like to play around with what's included and what's out with zero notice but it covers a lot of bases.

Something different by the sounds of it. Appointed rep schemes don't offer any leverage or capital, they basically offer hedge fund as a service - license sponsorship, legal, prime broker, audit, compliance etc. First loss isn't all that common here, there's one called Falcon and couldn't see...

Makes a lot of sense thanks. Have you or anyone had experience of AR schemes; I don't know if there's any US equivalent but it's effectively umbrella hedge fund services for those not-registered by FCA in the UK. You still need to go through vetting et al, and your point about cap intro vs...

good advice Robert. Given you’ve probably seen all kinds of pitches, what have been the most common mistakes you’ve noticed?

Not sure that's right - the right to be able to appoint an AR for the principal is baked into FSMA 2000, and some of these firms have been doing it for decades. Principal appoints, FCA still has to vet the representative, but they take legal ownership of what you do. Someone round here must...

I know you've GPT'd this but yeah, I agree with this line of thinking even though it's flowered it up with some long-ass words. No coincidences.

I’ve met two professional sports betters one in football and the other cricket. Not to put you off, but both part of large syndicates, with teams including meteorologists, social media analysts, sports analysts, the traders who needed contacts worldwide to lay big bets, as well as obviously...

Yeah that sounds horrific for sure and a gruesome application of religion. But my point was, the creation story was always mythological. It was only pious Christian scientists circa C16th that applied literalism to it, and 'worked out' the age of the world which you still see today in Bible...

That’s a lot of effort to disprove a mythological story.
