The best Schindler Trading can do for these brokers is to offer them a share of our fee income for a referal, but only a couple brokers have taken us up on this offer. Brokers generally want a permanent trail of commission dollars. Did you mean you proposed the client to joint your CPO...

It shows total membership is 3840. But they have 53,787 associates already. Does this mean associates do not have a membership? Even associates do not have a membership, if I add the rest of number together, it is smaller them 3840. Does any one have any idea?

But at 50k round trips per year, Schindler Trading does enough futures volume that we were able to negotiate an even better rate through Man Financial. 50k round trips are a lot. Is fee the only reason you move from interactive brokers to Man? Or Man provides better services in other...

Since Schindler Trading's trading is automated through Interactive Broker's (and, soon, Man Financial's) Do you mean you will move to Man Financial? Why? I though interactive broker fee is very low already.

Virgin, Schindler Trading can advertise because we are a registered CTA (commodity trading advisor). The "registered" part is what makes it okay to advertise, or in the words of the NFA (National Futures Association) regulations "hold ourselves out to the public" as a CTA. Can you advertise...

Does any one have any idea about how many registered CTA with CFTC/NFA worldwide?

Once your registration and disclosure document are accepted, you can call yourself a CTA. After you passed S-3 and register your company ABC, Inc with CFTC (?) and register yourself with NFA (?) as a principle, even before you become a member of NFA and before Ddoc are accepted, can you say...

I will attempt to explain my thoughts on why a CTA is better than a CPO. This is strictly my opinion and is based on my experience with my pool versus my managed accounts. With a CTA your startup costs are much lower. All you have to do is pay for the S-3, pay your registration to the NFA and...

Aaron Schindler, CTA, CFA, and formerly registered rep Schindler Trading What does "formerly registered rep" mean? Does it mean you have S-7 before, but expired?

As a CTA, do you need to register with each State? Assuming you pass S-3 exam and you become a registered CTA with CFTC/NFA. You live in Illinois. 1. Can you manage separated managed accounts (only trade futures and do not trade stocks) for the clients from the states other than...

LongView, Thank you very much. This is very helpful!

In my opinion CTA is a better structure than CPO. Why you feel that way? Can you advise us? Thanks.

I have a question about "WHO is the CTA?" Assuming I pass S-3 exam, and I also sent up a company called ABC, Inc. I register ABC, Inc. with CFTC as a CTA. I as a nature person (who passed serious 3 exam) is the sole principal of my company (ABC, Inc) which is a CTA. Now who is CTA? 1...

[b[Anyone know of good (relatively inexpensive) attorneys in Chicago to help set up a CPO? Also, who does everyone use for accounting and audit? I've used NAV Consulting and have spoken with Michael Liccar & Associates. Anyone else I should look at?[/b] How does NAV consulting charge? How...

I used to use these guys www.Futuresaccounting.com They are cheap but not very reliable. When I started doing my offshore fund I looked at Arthur Bell, very well known/reliable and very expensive. Currently for my Managed accounts I use NAV Consulting...reasonably priced and so far no...

I currently execute through two different brokers and it isn't bad. The fewer the better, though. One nice thing the futures industry has to make things easier is the "give-up". If you have your account at Goldman Sachs and I want to execute through Man Financial, for example, I can ask Man to...

[b]I have to say that, so far I have been satisfied pretty much with IB for individual accounts, however I just have opened FA account for my CTA and processing client`s accounts is very slow. I`ve been waiting for client`s account approval 2 weeks already. Did you have similar experience ...
