What march higher is there to continue? I thought we were in a pretty obvious downtrend.

Did you happen to see what happened to those segregated and guarenteed accounts after the futurewise scandal? I have a friend that still doesn't have his 100k back.

I heard there is a 15 day lock up on customer funds now. Anyone else confirm this?

It is not too difficult to make the 2 communicate now. If you are just trying to get rid of easy language, you may also want to look in to TradeStations "executescript" reserve word.

The going rate is actually quite a bit higher (for systems with actual track records). I'm sure it depends on the firm, amount of capital they are trading, etc though.

Hedge funds and large private investors.

I had a great month in July. August has been slow

I've traded through Man for quite a while now. Trading Platforms Man offers a bunch of different ones (TT, Pats and some other ones). I use Pats and don't remember going down once in the last year or two. It has been very stable. I imagine other platforms are similar, but I don't have...
