    question for startup LLC or aspiring money managers.

    An incubator fund is the typical set up. But you still need to have enough capital to work with. 100k is not going to be enough. 500k can get you into some mini prime brokerages with nice support but you know your size is going to be small. ideally you want to have 1-3 million to work with.

    Swifttrade Interview

    No no no, I don't doubt your profitability, I don't doubt it at all. (As you've already shown) You need to make sure you're watching the downside. From what I see and I'm sure you know this as well, you're buying on the way down, in a dangerouse battle zone where stops are tripping each other...

    Swifttrade Interview

    shiko, from what I see, you're working tickets around a battle zone (6325-6375) with no core position on. You're chasing it in a dangerous zone on a subhourly template. To add, you're operating on micro timeframes with a "martingale" like template. When the big orders hit the pipe you'll get...

    So tell me why I should trade currency futures instead of forex?

    Sorry I didn't make myself clearer. *All of these apply to the inter bank market and maybe also an exchange traded currency with some sort of specialist system, they don't apply to bucket shops. 1. Commission is lower. 2. Liquidity is better. You can move a very large volume without moving...

    So tell me why I should trade currency futures instead of forex?

    what? spot FX is scam? Where did you all get this idea from? You guys are right about the bucket shops because of little regulations on the spot FX market. But the market is the real deal, I'm talking about the inter-bank market of course. Most institutions prefer the cash market than the...
