CP, Thanks for the compliment. Just thought I'd post this really quick. It's a list of TPMs specifically for money managers that I just found. Hopefully something will come of one of these companies for one of us struggling managers. www.3pm.org/directory.html Got get back to work...

fitrol, Where you are located is an issue. I am in Florida right now, but I am headed up to Chicago hopefully by mid summer. I am making this move not so that people can come see me, but rather because I believe I will make much better business contacts being up there. I am in the same...

CP, I am quite happy with the amount that has flowed in over the past year. Here is where it came from, myself, family and friends, the firm I used to trade at, a new fund which found me on a database, and a brokerage where I won a trading contest last year. So only one of those...

Looking for other CTAs/money managers to exchange marketing ideas with. I am a CTA with a little over $3m under management with just over a year of track record. My AUM have appreciated steadily over the past year from $250K, but it is getting to the point where I think it may be...

Anyone who is familiar with both of these futures contracts please PM me. Thanks

PM me if you want more info. In my opinion CTA is a better structure than CPO.

All this information is for east coast time: I wake up at 5a. Eat breakfast/checks quotes. Get to the office by 6:30a. Double check all the equity runs and account statements to make sure they are correct and to make sure the right trades went into the right accounts and make sure that...

24, Orlando (maybe Chicago soon). Trading professionally for almost 3 years. Trading for my CTA for about a year.

www.futuresaccounting.com I am looking into these guys. I heard around $5K for a year end NFA audit only. Other quotes I have received range from $15K to $50K. So far they are the cheapest. If you hear any cheaper let me know, please!

If I take his space do I get free oil changes? What about rotate and balance?

Bro: You don't think I am aware of that? But that would make 10% who may have office space. Thanks for the update though. Appreciated!

Come on! Anyone? With all the great traders on this site there isn't one who has an open desk in Chicago?! :D I'm not loud, I'm not intrusive, as a matter of fact I probably wont even talk to you. All I want is four walls, a roof, a desk and a T-1 line. A chair would be nice too. I bring...

I am considering moving my CTA/CPO to Chicago in the summer. Does anyone have any desk space available or know of anyone who has desk space available? I've talked to a couple people up there who will provide me with space, but they are both in brokerage offices where I have accounts set up. I...

I may show up. I run a CTA/CPO out of Maitland the trades options on futures. I don't know if we'd have much to talk about since I know almost zero about trading equity options.

Is this equity options or options on futures?

Honestly, that test is a joke. I got my materials from www.securitiesexam.com. All the market knowledge questions are easy. I even noticed some questions from my practice exams actually on the test. The only part that is "hard" is the rules and regs and those are not so much hard as they...

Or you can do it yourself and save some money. Like he said it's not as hard as you think.

Marco from Fund Count gave me an online demo of his software this morning. It looks pretty comprehensive. He also said he could customize it to fit any needs a client may have. I'm sure most of them do this but I thought it was cool. Anyhow, just thought I'd share that I liked what I saw...

Currently I don't use anything for accounting. I only have one fund at this point and it takes very few positions so it's not too much of a headache. Once I get my other fund going I am thinking about getting DMAXX for back office and accounting. At least I think it can be used for...

To be totally honest with you it is pretty cheap. My costs were 1) the cost of taking the series 3 and study materials 2) the registration fees to the NFA for myself, CPO, and CTA 3) the state costs to start two LLCs (one for my management company and a separate one for the Pool) I...
