    Registering a Company in London Online

    Setting up the company is relatively easy but you will need to provide your passport to complete the process. You can get your FSA Securities and Derivatives License. 12 years ago when I was thinking of doing it, it was like a 4 hour exam of 1000 multiple choice questions. Which sounds easy...

    Mark Cuban breaks one of tradings golden rules

    In terms of value and current revenue growth, I think the stock is worth $21. At $21 I'd be prepared to buy and hold. And given the fact that the market rarely goes up between may and september, I wouldn't hold a long position until October. So 21 or 22 in October is a good risk reward...

    By November, Facebook will have reached its true value of $21 a share. That's when you buy it.

    Mark Cuban breaks one of tradings golden rules

    He did piss it away because it was a dumb ass low probability trade. Never try and catch a falling knife. Facebook was falling hard. It hadn't put in a base. There was nothing to suggest it was a buy. In other worlds and in his words. It was a gamble. But it was also a long shot. Not a...

    Mark Cuban breaks one of tradings golden rules

    With all the smart guys that Cuban knows, Im surprised no-one told him that facebook is only worth about $18 a share.

    Todays massive up move in the market

    The odds that Obama will launch QE3 leading up to the election are about 99.9%. What other tools do they have at their disposal to try and win the election? QE3 will make the market look better than it is. The US public will think that the economy is improving and they will have a chance at...

    THE END GAME 2012/13 - Ex Goldman Star - Trading Will Be Banned

    You can't ban short futures without banning long futures because there would be no-one to take the other side of the trade. Its not like shares where you buy an asset.

    Gifted trader: Andy Priston

    Guys, If one firm offers me a 30% payout and lets me trade 200 contracts and another offers a 60% payout and lets me trade 100 contracts, isn't that kind of the same thing? I don't really get logic in any of this? Runningbear

    Gifted trader: Andy Priston

    Holding 5% of open futures contracts in a market is completely different to doing 5% of the daily volume. If you bought and sold a 300 contract position every minute for the 14 hours the bund trades each day, you could theoretically have traded 500,000 volume without holding more than a 300...

    Bund options pricing/implied vols

    I'm with The Breaker here. Every now and then a market has a monster move based on drastically changing economic circumstances. The bund is currently in such as move. This could just be the start of it.

    Selling Credit Default Swaps on Sovereign Debt

    Given that Greece technically defaulted but managed to negotiate a 60% write down in debt without actually defaulting, then your pretty spot on. Default swaps are now not worth the paper they are printed on. Any government can now write off 90% of their debt without defaulting. What a joke.

    People Are Finally Figuring Out: Austerity is Stupid

    That's a sobering statistic. I bet that most of the Occupy Wall Street protesters probably earn enough to be part of the 1% they are protesting against.

    New eSignal 11.4

    Can esignal 11.4 chart 2 day bars? 10.6 can't and it gives me the shits. It's seems like such a simple thing. Even most free charting packages offer this function but esignal doesn't. I think this is just plain weird. Runningbear

    High Frequency Trading is dead.

    What people call HFT today will be the normal of tomorrow. Pretty soon small GPU supercomputers on co-located servers next to exchanges will be used by mum and dad investors to make rapid buy and sell decisions. Complain all you like, it aint going away.

    Patenting a Superior Trading System

    OK. While I can't believe that anyone that has their own money management firm could be so ignorant about the patent system, I will take the bite and answer. The patent system is a public declaration of your claim to a novel idea. By its very nature, it requires you to reveal the details of...

    MFGlobal bankruptcy claims

    If you don't sign it you'll getting nothing. I don't think you have anything to gain by not signing it. Be prepared to get less than 10c in the dollar though.
