    Need some help with first trend-following system

    Questions for Tradestation users

    CPO startup

    I think the one piece of advice I can give to anyone who is planning to manage money is, to get a good attorney to do all the paperwork. You need someone who you can filter your inquiries through. When dealing with the NFA you can get inconsistent answers to your questions. When...
