all u need is for yr fund to be domiciled in the caymans here, the accts can be held anywhere else and the only restriction as to which broker u can use comes down to whether this or that broker is ok to have you as a client, but def. no requirement to use an offshore broker... if the paperwork...

simply set up a Caymans exempt fund, private equity partnership type structure, with you as (one of) the GP(s). perfectly legal even from a US Sec laws standpoint, as long as less than 15 investors (am simplifying a bit but...). if your not familiar with those schemes, and even if you are, get...

thanks xsenia, hadn't noticed...

i am surprised there is no post on this yet, particularly from a few 'tier1 banks or nothing' enthusiasts: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=conews&tkr=Rfx:US lets see how refco's going to cope with the foreseeable panic from legions of acct holders, including at fxcm & acm!

hi, anybody knows how to / via which brokers one cld trade these products, not just the nfp one but all other cme auction products? i've asked my mates at gs since they're making the mkt but no success (unless i become a gs client 'f course...) any help appreciated, many thanks

yo dude, u finished reading 'mkt wizards' #1 yet? listen i got good news 4 u, there is an addition, only its been published a few years ago, so maybe they're out of print now.... honestly your one pretty big larf tomcole! and thats the same guy who's telling us we can do big size on CME...

there r ways to do this without necessarily taking any losses, by say placing bids on one ECN and when you get hit, you 'simultaneously' sell / hedge on the other platform, at pretty much the same price level if u pick yr spots, platforms etc well. am not saying its easy tho', just that its...

your right, lets move on...

sounds like my world... thanks taboni

also, why do you think we hire guys with specifically those job descriptions in my world? http://www.net-temps.com/job/7s9o/2748/compliance_officer.html honestly just food for thought

i was on holidays the day it happened mate... so i'm told... but, feel free to believe ok, nobody here wants to burst yr bubble... not me at least. plus in a way i feel humbled, i kinda knew that there was this parallel universe where things are as they shld be, now thanks to you i am finally...

come on now tomcole, 1) yes i was, and for 17 years in banking, broking, stock & futop exchanges etc but even if that weren't the case...?, 2) what is it this fascination u seem to have with tier 1 bks??? a couple of years ago, after the internet bubble burst, and since we'd run afoul of as...

your correct all the way here dude.... if they can't hire you (and you def. won't want them to!) they will study yr trades to the extent possible, and if they manage to understand what you do, they'll front-run you if they can. what do u think the 'fx sales' guys r doing at investment banks...

FWIW, i am sitting across the partition from an FX online broker in an incubator type set-up, i've helped them in their initial devl phase therefore had and still have privileged access to pretty much everything there, which is probably why like lon eagle i am not overly worried about the credit...

tomcole - whats ya view mate? currenex & hotspotfx (incl prime broker costs) r just as cheap, half the price of futures, but am sure u've got sthg interesting to say about trading futures and via a big bank, right?? pls don't disappoint :-)))

I live in Asia... shedloads of bucket shops around, thats true, but mkt's getting more mature all 'round, like everywhere else, plus everybody has access to the net, and as far as trading's concerned, anybody can use an english-language trading station, so thats not really an issue... now...

not advisable to use high leverage, thats for sure, unless you know what u're doing... but then if you don't, why bother trading at all?

needless to say, your 200% correct... for good or bad, i was on the other side once, what do u think we cared more about, your success or our bonuses??? just think...

it does, many thanks Steve!
