    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    This is where you did not read correctly. ALL OF OUR OTHER SYSTEMS ARE SCALABLE. IF WE HAD THE CAPITAL WE COULD SCALE THEM. Our main system now simply funds the company on a monthly basis and any small profits after our costs go directly into the other systems. The issue is that its not...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Don't you wish it was that easy. There are things called "fixed costs". It is a business.

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Thank you for your reply, however, you are incorrect about this being "nonesense". Our main system is limited to the AMOUNT OF MONEY it makes on a monthly basis NO MATTER HOW MUCH CAPITAL you put in. Our shop has a fixed operating cost (ie. Payroll, rent, ins) and that system covers it. The...

    Obtaining Funding/Trading Capital

    Hello. I have a question. There is so much money out there and to me it is amazing how hard it is to find that money sometimes. We are a black box firm that has been in business for 3 years. During that time, we have been heavily into R & D with our extensive datasets for trading system...

    Another Arbitrage Question

    The obvious: It then goes against you. :) What you need to do is go long and short in two accounts and give the bad account to someone else. :) Gee, didn't our former first lady do that? :)

    Another Arbitrage Question

    Why not just pick a starting point and create buy stops and sell stops "x" points away rom your starting point. It saves you a trade. Once one side is hit, cancel the other side. You could still get screwed though. :)

    Thanks for the response. So proactive outside of its own book? YUK! If I want that I can go to Arca. I like the fact that Island/Inca do NOT do that. It depends on trading styles. Also, will they be accepting odd lots? I really wish they would stay in their own book for speed!

    Does anyone know if the new merged INET book will be proactive outside of ot's own ECN? I mean, I can see getting best price between Isld/Inca books, but will this be another Arca situation? We don't need that. I hope they at least keep in internal for speed purposes. Any ideas?

    And answer me this: In a fast moving market when all you want to do is GET OUT, my execution times to Island are 20 milliseconds whereas my execution times to Arca and all of it's proactive capabilities are at 300 milliseconds. Which do you prefer under that type of situation? Nice to have...

    Instinet/Island

    It's not about transparency. It's about different trading styles. Inca will not break up a round lot to fill an odd lot. Island will. With one book, which do they use? Will the institutional person want his order picked off in odd lots? Even if they put the whole platform to OUCH, there...

    2 Different business models and 2 different types of traders. What benefit is merging the books? Sounds like they will be cutting their own throats when what they should be doing is grabbing as many styles of trading as possible.

    Instinet/Island

    I tell you. Both business models do not mix here. I hope they keep them separate to some degree because I cannot imagine any institutional traders want their 20000 share orders being picked off in 50 lots!
