    Professional firms in Europe

    This London based firm is somehow affiliated with the US based Momentum Securities. Momentum is now described as a "Tradescape Corp., company.." on their web page. Tradescape was acquired by E-trade not long ago in their bid to access the super high volume trading commission business. here...

    Funding a hedge fund...

    I think I can help, here is some background first: I am just about to get started trading at Bright (took series 7 on Tuesday of this week, tough to study while world cup matches on).

    Starting a LLC (Hedge Fund Alternative)

    This is my first post, so here goes. It has always struck me as odd that aspiring hedge fund managers are quite willing to give 75-80% of trading profits to others. Limited Partners typically receive this much in a hedge fund, subject to a hurdle rate of say 6%. That is, the LLC Managing...
