I would advise you to go and work for a hedge fund or a commodity trading house. That's where you'll meet the brightest people, have the most fun and learn the most. Your survival capacity in such a firm is much higher than in a prop-shop or with your own capital, because the expectations of...

Hmmmm Interactive Brokers offers x4. Jesus 10x is high. I never looked at leverage on stocks. Maybe something here https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/high-leverage-stock-broker.291567/

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHERE'S THE CHICK ?

If you're serious about trading and taxation you need to do it all through a trust or LLC, otherwise you'll get killed when you're under your trading high watermark.

I wouldn't agree with that. We have all the black boxes in the world that nobody needs to see and I have a beer with a quant trader at least 3 times a week in London. People just like to speak with People and it doesn't involve giving out trade secret.

I have a house in Marbella and often go there on holliday with some colleague, maybe we can have a chat next time I'm down there. What do you trade ?

France is one of the WORST country to do business in Europe. The laws they have for employment, bankruptcy and liability of management just isn't suited for any capitalist enterprise. All the smart frenchies work in London and New York and the only ones who are still in France are the ones you...

No, the central bank in russia doesn't allow you to move money out like this. Even the bank needs to justify money they take out and there's no way that the central bank would have allowed 10Bn like this. The problem is similar in Ukraine, India, West Africa etc. etc. I've heard pitches about...

You should use the Discord app for voice server. It's supposed to be used for Gamers but we use it at the office all the time with our US desk. We keep it open 24/7 and have a "push to talk" microphone where we discuss the market throughout the day. The result is not really an all time...

No the accounts are not linked. He buys a share in Russia. Goes short the same share in the BVI. He hopes the share in Russia will lose value. The money he loses in Russia, he makes in the BVI. There's no "linked account" that would be way too easy.

So.... essentially the article says that while Greece announced they may go bankrupt, nobody was looking to buy the S&P 500 ? Wow.... and 1 week later the market traded at the low of the "flash crash"....

Interesting article, took them 6 years to write so it's definitely worth a read.

Hmmm I see that when the blue line is higher it's more bearish (on your first graph) On the second graph, the first black circle you made has a higher DXI and the market went down...

Do you have any kind of track-record of your trading performance ?

Quite a lot of CTAs are making money these days. You can find very good ones on IASG (in terms of performance). The most serious ones won't be on IASG or publish anything because IASG is mainly retail money / small HNWI money and the serious CTAs / hedge funds will ask you for a min ticket of...

Lawrence, I've been involved in the fundraising of the hedge fund I'm working for, for over 9 years now so here's my 2 cents. First of all, nobody gets money out of the Internet. So you won't find anyone posting their list of trades on their website. Everyone knows everyone in this market and...

Correct but they mark up their execution with the brokers. So essentially they don't give you 60/40 because you lose 20% of your capital in brokerage cost that they get back. There are "first-losses" structures, but what's the point of it ? They're designed for stocks and instruments that don't...

The real problem is that you won't be able to talk to any family office before you have 50m$ to 100m$. You won't be able to talk to endowment and foundations etc. before you have 1Bn$+, maybe some will talk to you with 500m$+. So the real question in hedge fund marketing is how do you get the...
