    How do you go about changing the name of your fund?

    Dude, If you are planning a hedge fund, you should be talking to lawyers and CPAs, not anonymous people whose opinion should not be trusted for such critical efforts. unless hedge fund means "the $30,000 that I and a couple of friends scratched together." GL

    The 30 most costly trading errors

    One I do not see on the list, is people scalping who have no business scalping. You can pay the same entry/exit costs at 30 seconds as you do for 3 days. And that slippage/commissions/errors/fees/etc. can eat up all or more of your expected profits. It is the house rake. Learn to trade...
