A lot of allocators/investors...at least the smart ones will confide in you that they know that historical returns are to a great extent meaningless for reasons I've listed earlier...but investing in an established manager with a track record and maybe a few hundred million gives them an excuse...

Precisely! What is the point??!! Sheer insanity....

My humble opinion; A 3-5 yr , even a 10 year track record proves nothing unless: 1. The track reord reflets a consisten stargey that s stilbeing used n dwillbe used inth efuture wthotu chage 2. The track record reflect sall psisbel market regimes an denvironments. Thes etwo...

The above statement I think is just a misleading statement made by FoF because they know futures strategies lend themselves easily to managed accounts. They want MAs so they claim they can only invest in MAs...meanwhile they are invested in other Fund vehicles for the most illiquid, exotic...

Thanks again for sharing, heech. I've never understood the magic of 3 -5 yr track records. In the pure sense it only provides false comfort and proves not much. So are you just marketing via databases?

Thanks, heech. What have you encountered as the major obstacle to investors - - any of your investment terms or the strategy or just the general market environment?? I am hearing investors are very "scared" these days, hence the demand for ridiculous terms. Are you seeing that in your...

Thanks, heech Your CPO's terms seem fair for a futures fund. As an investor I would have no issue with this. I particularly like the )5 mgmt fee. If you had a hurdle rate, then it would even be perfect! What do you hear from investors concerning monthly redemptions. I am hearing from a...

Hello, I am trying to seek people's opinions on ideal investment terms for a Fund that will balance the investor's interests with the Fund Manager's interests. On one extreme you have some investors these days who want zero lockups, daily liquidity and minimal management fees. On the...

Please explain what you mean by the above. Thank you!

Thanks so much ScoobyStoo. I like your name...but I do miss ScoobyDoo!!!

Thanks so much ScoobyStoo. Very much appreciated! Since you use their dedicated server/basic mgmt service that means you install your app on their servers. Correct? Do they provide a VPN or any remote connection software for you to remotely control/view your system. How do you remotely...

lrm & scoobyStoo, can you please indicate how much you pay at Steadfast. I contacted them and their pricing options are mightily confusing! I guess my first question is what services are you using: renting a 1U rack and bringing your own server or using one of their dedicated servers...

How can a broker mirror (place mirror orders) for a high speed strategy?

Thank you.

Ignoring security for IP, can someone recommend good colocation or dedicated server hosting services. Also how much should I expect to pay for this service for a simple 1U rack server? Thanks.

BOTH : security against Internet attacks/hacking, system failures/downtime AND protecting my intellectual property.

Any suggestions for colocation service providers or dedicated server service providers? Thanks!

Goodness, your hostility was unnecessary!

Thanks NetTecture and all for all the insights. I am being quoted approx $700/month for a 1U rack in a Chicago close to exchange data center. Sounds high to me. What do you guys think. i don't think for my trading that I have to be in Chicago. I don't need microsecond latency. I'll...
