I do not know much about HFT business but can make a guess that due to computer intensive nature of business with high power servers needed to have a microseconds edge over the competition, even quants making $400K before taxes, living in NYC, kids in private schools etc. etc. would not have...

Does anyone know how much more returns the HFT firms make vrs common mutual or hedge funds or prop desks of big banks that conduct old fashioned analysis based trading? Have heard that several HFT firms "did not" report a single losing day for weeks to even months at a time when the HFTs were...

For only stocks, he might not need any registration. Even percentage incentive can be charged for upto 15 clients in both stocks and commodities (not sure, so correct me if wrong).

It was around 2006 when an article mentioned that majority of trading will be taken over by algos and it proved true. However, performance of trading desks and big funds did not improve by leaps and bounds. Hence, the automation helps only to an extent it seems.

Basically, you are running a newsletter service for which no registration is required as long as your advises are general i.e. for all and not specific to single clients on individual portfolio basis. It would be a good idea to check with one of the similar services that you plan to offer...

Same fu**king "bait & switch" model although this one is "trap, loot & run". In 2000s I got scammed by a free internet provider to buy their software service for $169 and get free internet for life for having ads every now and then on screen if not continuous. It ran well for 3 months with...

Things like money, life, health etc. command good specialist service and thus payments. Ex: Airline Pilots with responsibility of 300 passengers. A plane is put on autopilot within minutes of takeoff and remains there until minutes of landing. Everyone can complain that Pilots get 200K for...

90% of PMs do not bet the S&P 500 index. So their bonuses must be hurdled with some lower benchmark. Still, being an analyst or PM is an intense job of reading, phone calls and even travels. Requires very high level of organization and energy. Base salaries of 300-400K are about the same...

He is not successful in trading himself so has a room for subscribers. No wonder he is an ex-bank trader ;-)

I see a sharp sell off followed by a atleast a medium term bull market.

Until you know how to quickly take losses.

Check out various channels of youtube on trading and forex. Tonnes of vid and quality information. :thumbsup:

The lesson is "Do not try to reinvent communism or hard core socialism". These systems have been "tried, tested........over long time.........around the world and FAILED". PERIOD !!! Follow the Canadian or British model of free market economies with free healthcare and some social support...

It does not matter if a Noble Prize winner with Goldman Sachs experience is at the top. In the third world, what matters is how well the system is able to handle/win over corruption and resulting inefficiencies in the economic machine.

Some PE's have a hurdle rate of like 5% or more before they charge 20% incentive. However, IRR does not jive to me. When "raw" money is at play then "raw" returns need to show up. Any slick play in financial maths is all marketing nonsense.

Eocnomy is growing decently so no need for tax cuts atleast for now. Trump should try to bring trillions of corporate funds parked in off shore havens instead.

How many students does WT have in the room? in order to make such a huge front running advantage.

What does he mean by verified profits? Account statements of real money trades or verbal calls punched into a time clock. Interesting, WT has been around for a while but on what basis, performance or churning new subscribers every 3 months based on aggressive marketing.

After three months, these accounts if not generating enough commissions will be charged $10/month, hence more revenue for IB which they should divert to better customer service.

This stock is doomed. I see lower than $1 soon.
