I appreciate your long and thoughtful reply, but specifically to JH and G... why would "clearly had other things going on" matter? I thought a big selling point for trendfollowing was, set it and forget it. No need to make discretionary trading decisions. JH had lots of quants and traders to...

The thread's about OP's bear call on SHAK -- anyone notice it's down 16% (!!) today?

Yes, my bad, should have written "in his current role" since 2010. In any case, remarkable they let an "Institutional Sales Rep" speak for the firm, rather than someone much more senior. A bit of an own-goal. Institutional Sales Rep Interactive Brokers March 2010 – Present (5 years 6 months)...

The calculation of "exposure" is opaque (using “proprietary algorithms”), yet IB chat tells me that it’s based on the “Stress Test”that can be viewed under "Manage Account". That "Stress Test" categorizes by "equities", "commodities", "fixed income", and fx, which sounds reasonable...

Going back to the original question, I'd say that it would be nice if IB TWS could offer a scheme involving having multiple strategy-specific pages/tabs within TWS, rather than trying to do it with multiple accounts. For example, strategy page X might reflect only the net positions resulting...

I've been looking into Factset. Went to speak with them recently (representing my firm). It seemed great, but they really didn't want to talk about pricing. They want to wait and draw up a big proposal. I'd just like to get a quick and dirty idea of their pricing. Can anyone help...
