On the institutional side it MAY happen that risk management systems and portfolio management systems send the allocated (block) trades in real time to portfolio tracking systems of end clients. Especially large addresses don´t want to see trade allocation after clearing/settlement but during...

PARIS (Reuters) - France is ready to veto any British request for a Brexit delay that either kicks the can down the road without offering a way out of its deadlock or imperils European Union institutions, an official in President Emmanuel Macron’s office said on Tuesday...

Do a solid 2 year track record - get it audited by KPMG/Deloitte/E&Y/PwC. Don´t overtrade. Keep your open positions low. Don´t leverage more than 1:3. Anything above will not be regarded by institutional addresses as "risk adjusted" but pure lucky "punting". And yes, FX as an asset class should...

Inside an effort to influence American elections, starting with one small-town race. [...] Psy-Group stood out from many of its rivals because it didn’t just gather intelligence; it specialized in covertly spreading messages to influence what people believed and how they behaved. Its...

USD/JPY signaled just a strong sell. I guess, we will see lower equity prices going forward.

:=) Nice try, "guru". A mutual fund that is leveraged 1:8 in OTC Spot FX and 1:6 in derivatives is not a "mutual fund". Especially since it falls under the AIFM Directive of the EU. And now go back and try your definition of a "mutual fund" again...

Anyone with half a brain in the financial industry knows what the restriction of 21.000.000 BTC means...The whole marketing set up of BTC reminds me of HYIP (High Yield Investment Programs). For the rookies out there in the crypto-world and all "evangelists" - here is a piece of research on...

Woman or not woman - she will become of interest for institutional players with at least 2 year track record (most prefer 3) and at least $100 Million not to say $200 Million in AUM. Otherwise: good job, keep moving on, make some more Alpha next year! Best, Nighthawk.

Ray Dalio is not a corporate credit officer. If so, he would need to read more about debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and FCF. Your absolute credit and your absolute loan size doesn´t define your ability to pay back the credit. In the corporate world, the free cash flow (FCF) - the cash flow being...

If you want to impress your institutional client base, you report both:gross and net-of-fees income. Thus, you are more transparent than you should be. But it gives you in bad times (the ones you are not gloating about) at least "one argument"...;=) What´s the strategy of your fund and you are...

Told you to hedge tail risk, didn´t I? Last trade: 138.01. Expect this to move above 149.71. Why? Well, something to do with volatility smiles, risk premiums and 25 delta risk....and the usual other "stuff".... I hope, the Japanese desk had their fun to run for the 105.00 Knock Outs from...

Forget about RenTec. The colleagues at RenTec are not bad - but there are even better managers. It must not always be the US centric view, right? One of the best performing hedge funds out there in 2018 (and in the last couple of years) it not based in the US but in France - Allegro by H20...

Nighthawk says: Hedge GBP/JPY tail risk, go long 137.80. Target 139.50+. Most probably target 143.99. Let´s see. GL+GT Nighthawk

Make a note: When S&P 500 hits 3 standard deviation on weekly or monthly, you buy puts for your "tail risk protection". You buy OTM calls for your sweet spot. And yes, golfing is a refreshing sport after hedging your ar$se while you are making some $ on the upside. Last check: S&P up +130 @...

It´s clear to you that execution of 10.000 shares of Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Netflix is a different thing than execution of a 10.000 order in Russell 2000 stocks, right? Try to execute a 10.000 order on OTC BB - and you will be literally "blown away" :rolleyes:

Just asking - isn´t there a thing called "internalization"? Before using external execution, I would assume Fidelity to take the order onto its internal book called "inventory"...Just my 6 cents, of course....

Both firms are professional cowards during high vola/high risk times. Their business models are based on "functioning markets" . As soon as the $h.t hits the fan, they switch- kill their "sophisticated systems"! Pu$$ies!
