It is both unfair and inaccurate to consider the guys at tradepipe/RQSI/Access as middlemen.

ktm, you have a few good insights but... the situation you describe does not apply to tradepipe.com./ They have two main pools of traders. A. The Star Search pool - these are basically startup ctas or non-CTAs who are trying to build a track record. They allocate you a 'small' $100K...

The guys at tradepipe.com are professional institutional allocators and have designed the contest in a way substantially different from your typical trading contest. I am surprised no one here has visited their website., for if they have some of the comments on this thread would not have...

It is NOT paper money. They (tradepipe) have their REAL money on the line!

The World Cup Advisor does seem to have a marketing/promotion aspect to it. Hence it is of no interest to me. However, the tradepipe.com contest is meant to be a way of discovering new trading talent for potential presentation to large institutional investors and inclusion in a large fund.

I'm quite surprised that even with over 20,000 members/traders on this forum, it seems no one knows anything about this, has applied or is a current contestant. Amazing!

Anyone?! I applied and have not heard back from them. I wonder if there is anyone here in a similar situation or who has previously applied or is taking part in the current contest. Please let me know. Thanks!

Please refer to item no. 2 in my original post. If he does this correctly he will determine what is an appropriate amount for him to implement his strategy with prudent risk managemnt. I used the 25k figure SOLELY for the sake of this discussion as he said he already had 20K and was trying to...

Did anyone here participate in the current 4th Quarter CTA Star Search contest organised by tradepipe.com? If so, what have your experiences been? Will you contest again? Did anyone apply for the 1st quarter 2004 series of the contest beginning Jan 1, 2004? If so, have you heard from them-...

The free-market capitalists in Chicago, Washington D.C. and congress should be ashamed of themselves. The amount of hypocrisy in the land is amazing. Look at similar nonsense in the farm-subsidy arena. Quite sad.

Some have said that severe drawdowns (greater than 20%) could be the 'kiss of death' for CTAs/hedge fund mangers. However looking at the iasg.com database, one does see examples of spectacular recovery in terms of assets under management (AUM) and performance by some traders with severe...

Reports indicate that the CME will commence trading futures on the NASDAQ Composite Index on October 27th in E-mini format. Currently only the NASDAQ 100 Index has a futures contract. Why the need for this? Personally I think it will just reduce the liquidity in the NDX-100 or maybe it...
