6 months ago I left a job at a hedge fund as a developer to pursue other interests. Whilst it is indeed true that outsourcing to india saves time and money in reality, depending on the bank/fund there really isnt as much work that can realisitcally be outsourced. A small-to-mid sized hedge fund...

you forget one important factor that can help a large amount .... luck! The hedge fund I used to work for was mainly focused on convertible arbitrage. Not the easiest strategy to trade requiring a good grounding in the equitiy and fixed income space. However, one of the top cb traders now...

grads going into ibanks on a desk with a view to get into trading (wont come for at least 2 years unless you including executions trader) in uk are getting around 35-45k depending on which bank. FX Options traders in general get more than spot fx traders and currently even though i think their...

it is the most volatile of the major US economic releases and becasue of that I wonder why the market palces so much importance in it

That felix guy is a genius .... charging 1k a month for smthing that he got some poor developer to knock up. It's the perfect scam, he recommends a whole list of brokers for his subscribers to use knowing that during each news event, a few of them will get good fills, encouraging potential...

it'll depend on your bb settings. You can set it up to take it's feed from a number of sources but most likely the default if you havnet changed it will be the bb composite

well friday before christmas ... not really surprised. IF fxsomeone is still here maybe get a email off him. They were extremely helpful and fast at replying when I was setting up fix, but of course you'll prob have to wait till next wed

oh ... you decided to call did you? Joking ...... let us know the outcome

I know this is late in the day for you but was wondering why the big change in the platform and whether you intend on sending mails re the updates and changes that will be made in the upcoming release. It's a small thing but most annoyingly in the recent upgrade was the retraction of the ability...

In the Done tab under the cpty column. However, with the latest update of the platform and even before then I think, it has not been possible to see whether bank or customer was cpty to your trade. For reasons you'll have to ask your cnx rep.

he hasnt replied for the last 4 hours. One would think that you could have gotten all the answers to your questions by now by simply picking up the phone and calling cnx.

Hats off to your charity ... Perhaps you should contact cnx directly

you seem to be content with using oanda. Is there any reason why you're looking for smthing else?

most prime brokers are banks or other such institutions with the necessary capital to provide the highly leveraged transactions that retail traders using cnx are looking for.

a rep from cnx will have to answer that but I'm pretty confident it would be a striaght no. As to what cnx will offer you? You'll have to try them out and decide for yourself. Personally, ignoring the fact that cnx has gone down a few times in the last 3 months, i fail to see how anyone who...

The pairs you get depend on your prime broker. As to showing fills and times, the cnx platform shows these to the second for all pairs you are subscribed to.

Until recently when retrieving the trade details from the cnx platform you provided the cpty to the trade. Whilst I am most def not representive of the total set of cnx users, I do tend to trade more during fast mkts when you yourself have stated where most cnx transactions occur. I can state...

apologies ... someone with merely a years experience in programming could do this. There are free fix engines out there like quickfix whcih require little changes to suite the different fix version and any custom fields that cnx et al use. And to make things easier, the cnx guys are actually...

currenex, lava, hotspot all support fix so aggregating those three would be the easiest and tbh adding other brokers with their own propietary apis would be fairly simple as well.

The majority of hedge fund investors, high net worth individuals andinstitutions alike usually have someone in their employ who can identify whether the fund's risk profile is suited to them.
