I saw the ES rally after it's sudden drop. I wanted to hop on real bad b/c I knew that a sudden reaction like that can have a sudden reversal. But It wasn't in my system so I didn't take it. The way I look at it is that points are only an outcome of my discipline, patience and system...

The following firms will work w/ you on capital: Bright and possibly Echo (they only need 10K) The following firms may hire you: heartland securities Worldco Genesis Daytrade Sonic Trading Triton Global First New York Securities Schonfeld If you have a long term track record, good...

Isn't that just blue collar arrogance? I used to feel the same way as you. But then, I remembered my college term paper on LTCM. Merriweather did not come from a fantastically wealthy family. Neither did Neiderhoffer or Soros. Soros came from an immigrant family much like mine. They made...

Lunch? Lunch is for wimps. :)

I'm thinking about joining your room and I was just wondering where I could see examples or explanations of your exact setups so I could follow along in the room. Can you explain what you mean by "little" discretion?

Go find Hitman's journal. He offers up a list of stocks he trades. He trades at Worldco. Is that where you're going?

LOL! Good one Bung.

Letco has laid off 10 percent (!) of its workforce. I am assuming traders were part of this purge as well. I tried to sound smart and said, "Well if volatility returns to the market, would you commence hiring?" I was told to send in my resume "in case there's another bull market." These cuts...

Letco has been bought out by TD. It is going through a "transition" time and is not hiring. It is firing.

Try Letco, Group 1, Botta. You know...the usual suspects.

Did the Hang Seng shut down after 9/11? How did react afterwards?

Those operating fees seem awful high. Would a small fund or CTA need that kind of infrastructure? I mean a 20M fund can't have those kinds of operating costs right?

Worldco won't be happy with your style at all. They have a restricted list. But w/ experience and profits, all things are negotiable. FNYS is probably not as rigid. Investors in a hedge fund may come w/ certain restrictions as well (ie max drawdown in a month or a cutoff after a certain...

It might be your answer. The one big advantage of institutional trading, even at a firm like Worldco is that compounding is irrelevant. Get yourself to a high class firm like First New York Securities. They will fund you, feed you capital as you grow and compounding will be the least of your...

Could this be because they're a startup and don't have that many customers?

Maybe you should put together a serious prospectus. PM some of the big hitters on this board w/ it. An excel file of your returns, sharpe ratio, track record, resume all would help. At least that was I looked for anyway. An open invite to 10K members may not be the best way.

The person I "represent" is looking for something safer. I however did learn something out of the search. There was one CTA I talked with who was very friendly and referred me to his marketer/broker. Of course, I was representing an investor :) His website is www.defendercapital.com. He's...

Can't you go to a big NYC bank like Goldman and ask for funding? I've read about something called "Prime brokerage." Is this the fund finding service?

Try Gelber capital. Elocaltrading does CTA funding. But w/ a track record like yours, I'm sure they might be able to accomodate you. Talk to brokers in your area. Try and find high net worth brokers. Ask the bright brothers and others on this board. You've built up a lot of good will on...

Their rates are...5.80 a round turn. I will look into Clifden's financials.
