    What's the best risk control software for small-mid size hedge funds?

    Almost all solutions will have their companies 'anomalies' built in to them, unless you buy institutional or roll your own you need to go on a learning curve to find a 'best fit', basically trial and error for your strategy. There is 'no best' in the margins, it's 'least worst'.

    Trading for others

    That just doesn't make sense, managing money fantastic, the markets don't accept greed and when you're managing others funds you have to always choose least worst, increases profits. But that only works if you're outside of the MLM, if you're inside it then your statement increases in importance.

    Best Broker for institutional high frequency trading

    "need MT4" and "true stp broker for high frequency trading strategy" is an oxymoron, adding $500 minimum account and institutional is pure delusion. But given the world works on a pyramid structure you can see why retail fall for it every time.

    Project/idea/task management software?

    That makes it even more frightening. Enterprise software is built for the lowest common denominator of an organisation, if retail can access that same software out of the box, then they have an advantage over their competition. All smart entrepreneurs know this, which is why 99% of traders...

    The Truth About Trading!

    Technically it is correct, the older people get the slower they work and the easier they slot in to the market cycles. If you can artificially slow everything down you can do the same but human psychology, namely the conscious mind, will fight it all the way. It's very simple, to bypass the...

    If you don't have Bloomberg any more... which software ?

    Competing is a very strong word to use for Money.net, they are different markets, the other is Symphony at that level. We have our own terminal but that's a long story and is licensed out at the same as Bloomberg, $2k per seat per month. The eSignal data at low timeframes is useless, they don't...

    London Bridge

    Seriously, what is wrong with you. Any one with reasonable intelligence can make money in the markets outside of events like these, and will go neutral when they do happen, only a complete idiot or someone with no moral backbone will concern themselves with making money from this.
