    Quants --Alive and Kicking

    A number of the quant models worked off the assumption that the price of housing never went down. On that note I think it should become a standard requirement that any person who is majoring in quantitative finance to take a class in common sense 101.

    ECN broker for managed accounts

    "This might be a good option for me, it's just that I have zero experience with prime brokers and don't really know what to expect in terms of market/execution, pricing of their service/financing and also what their minimums are. I think both IB and HSFX offer give-ups to a prime broker - does...

    ECN broker for managed accounts

    Cable is right about the number going to matter. if you are trading in smaller size you could add MB Trading to you ECN list. But if you are doing large size then MB wouldn't be a good fit. If I may ask why do you want to stay away from a prime broker? Just curious.

    ECN broker for managed accounts

    Currenex will vary depending on the broker because no 2 have the same banks . But - The Currenex FX trades ECN is rather consistent. The think is some places only have the ECN. If you compare that against another firm it could be about the same. Although - Some firms have both ECN plus...

    Warning FXCM MICRO

    Not that I would ever trade with a dealing desk but what's the idea behind FXCM micro? At quick glance (I missing something) is seems like just a recycling of the same old BS.

    Speculators pushing down price of Natty- Where is the outrage?

    I can just see the expression of the faces of some people for dragging execs for a grilling because the price is falling to fast. Now that would be one time I would actually have to tune into to C-SPAN. I guess their defense could be you told us to use or lose it so we used it.
