    A mentor for forming and marketing FX hedge funds

    We don't have to call it a fund at its early stage. Call it whatever you like. My understanding is probably only a POA would be required initially with individual clients, while the total number of clients is small. https://fx1.oanda.com/ma/index.shtml

    A mentor for forming and marketing FX hedge funds

    When trading with my systems based on actual trading results, my own analysis has found no particular statistical evidence for whether or not entering orders before EU would be better/ worse, over a long period of time. Since I live in Asia Pacific timezone, I don't have to wait until EU...

    A mentor for forming and marketing FX hedge funds

    I think initially a pure SMA type (hedge fund) structure would be a preferable option, mainly due to minimum paperwork and simple operations, particularly when following the business model of Oanda's FXManager platform. My understanding is SMAs are also fairly commonly acceptable by FoFs for the...

    Thanks for the input. In order to simplify the operations, my plan is the fund will be closed in the future for new clients. The total number of small clients will be also very limited. Potentially accredited or HNW clients would be the preferable ones, in order to minimise the overall...

    The required account size I mentioned $100,000 is invested capital, that could provide a trade amount up to $400,000 based on 4x leverage. Oanda's flexible lot size would be suitable and good enough for my program. Many other traders/ CTAs and funds would use non-FX instruments (such as...

    A mentor for forming and marketing FX hedge funds

    Basically I also think the managed accounts (rather than a pool) of this hedge fund would be a preferred option. It would require very simple operations to set up and manage, provides a safety ownership of funds (as you mentioned), allows flexibility for clients to withdraw funds anytime (in...

    Probably: Designing a hedge fund program using a custom made system to manage OPM. Otherwise too boring.
