Between 0.5-2% on each trade. Depends on your risk profile and what sort of returns/drawdowns you are seeking.

Lime is good for cheap commission and low latency, but unfortunately they only offer US stocks. I don't need ultra low latency, my systems aren't too high frequency (average trade lasts several hours).

The figure I've heard thrown around is 10%.

Hi atticus, Who offers 7x ? And what does "portfolio margin" mean? If I have $100k cash do I get $700k intraday buying power?? Leverage is actually not the primary concern here. If I can get access to platform that would give me access to more markets than IB with the same 4x as IB...

Hi Robert. I trade US stocks at the moment. But i wanted a platform that could offer me access to as many other equity markets as possible. At this stage I am only interested in stocks.

THanks for all the replies so far guys. heech - Rithmic looks the goods. Offer a nice mix of exchanges like Russia and Brazil, etc.

THanks heech. Any idea on which programming languages such professional platforms are likely to use?

Hi guys, I'm running a small fund with family and friend's money and we have about $1million. I want to look into designing systems to trade markets other than the ones which IB offer. My understanding is that the big IBs like GS, MS, JPM, CS, UBS, etc, all have electronic trading...

:D

This should be taken care of by your data provider. Unless of course you use free data such as yahoo, etc

"Guarantee" actually means capital-protected. Do you mean you will return what's left or you'll return their total investment? It doesn't matter if you don't guarantee their investment, not many funds do this. Just don't get yourself into legal trouble by offering these sorts of promises. If...

Agree that Family and Friends advisor account with IB is best, at least to start. From a client perspective its also very secure. Each client is given sole access to their own sub-account with a unique username and password.l The advisor cannot wire money in or out of the client accounts or...

Below is from the IB website http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=advisorWrapFees My understanding from this is that the fees are calculated daily, but charged quarterly/annually. I had a few questions about how the fee deduction works. 1/ What happens if you had some fees...

Thanks Jack. Another question for you. If a client wants to deposit/withdraw cash from his account, can he just do this without the Advisor even knowing, or does he notify the advisor of his attentions, and then the Advisor can okay the instructions? How does it work? Thanks.

Guys, Just a few questions please: (If they have already been asked and answered then I apologise) How is each client account funded for Family & Friends account? 1/ Does each client have their own unique account number? 2/ Is the client the only person allowed to withdraw...

If you already know how to trade, and can prove it ie. have a track record. Check out these ads below. Seems like ROI of 15%+ and Sharpes of 3.5+ is a goer. Though that's easier said than done, especially the latter. http://jobs.efinancialcareers.com/job-4000000000496959.htm...

I went to an exclusive pre-screening last week. I'd probably give it a 7 out of 10 compared to 9/10 for the Classic. The sequel is less ruthless, less about business. Gekko wasn't even in the first 30mins. They tried to make it appeal to a wider audience I think. And while it was still an...

Until the Black Swan... :eek: :cool:

I daytrade stocks, and my universe are only those tickers with $50m daily liquidity. My trading size is only $100k or so but I always buy on open. I figure as long as there is more than $2mil opening liquidity then my $100k should be okay. Of course these are just approximations.
