Will CQG let me route orders through multiple FCMs? I have a huge institutional client at GHCO and 1 and Dorman - Neither will do give ups or move - pita so I need to route orders simultaneously to both FCMs - tx

Hello. I am a CTA and I have a few prospective clients that refuse to use give-ups or move to a new FCM but they want my system manage their account for obvious reasons. I need an execution platform that can send orders (entry, stop and multiple exits) to multiple FCM's and allow me to manage...

I charge either 0/35 or 1/25. Managers that are more interested in management fees and not losing their jobs (most guys running billion dollar hedge funds) are happy not gambling for big returns and collecting the 2%. When I get to a billion AUM I will let you know what I do:) I hope I have...

Assuming that you can scalp 1500 ES contracts (not for as tick but a few points) without more than a tick slippage maximum, how many SP (big SPX open outcry) can one trade in the same trade? How deep is the open outcry contract? Thanks.

Its not the TradeMaven software cause the code hasnt changed so it has to be the people they are getting their data through or the people they send their data out through since they got greedy an dwent out on their own. ITS GONE TO CRAP. I've used it for about a year and it was steady and...

I'll make it very simple. Here is what should matter to a trader (not in any particular order). 1-Initial capital available. 2-Upside, additional capital to grow into as you show success. 3-Environment, support, training, mentorship, etc. 4-Software and hardware made available. 5-Costs...

First of all, SAC would hire a Schonfeld trader if his track record suited their requirements. Having worked for them, and having a few friends at SAC and Schonfeld still, the time parameters of your trading style do not matter. What would matter is that it can trade in all types of markets...

I've been a money manager for 8+ years so this is not a newbie question, but WTF is CBS? Also, since the article on Steve C at SAC every fish has thrown stones trying to get in the door but believe it or not, there are bigger fish, some private, some not. Japanese banks have prop desks run...

Pro_trader - good idea except for a few things. say i trade a moving average cross to make things simple. say im using a 30 and 50. part of what i need tested is 1 - is the 30/50 best or do i get better results with a 25/55 or a 31/49? 2 - what time frame is best? 1, 2, 3, 5, etc...

Thanks Nana but I have narrowed it down to the last few candidates. As soon as I get a free minute (lol I used to have a lot of them, wonder where they went:)) I will speak to both and make my final decision, hopefully by the end of the week. So unless you have unreal credentials like say Al...

I want to thank everyone for their input and offers to help code. I have received over 50 pm inquires. I will go through all that I have got and pick someone in the next few days. Please be patient and I promise everyone will get a response by Friday night, even if I do not pick you. Once...

Problem with that is every "pro" coder I talk to, I get the feeling they are just going to turn around and sell any system they get that is decent to a hedge fund. Im willing to work with someone out of the biz that trades for themself. Someone that will sign off that they will not use the...

I have a KISS system I use to trade the ES Eminis for the last 5 years. It is really unreal, but I want to code it and backtest certain aspects of it to maximize my returns. Should i get in when the signal hits or for example if it is a short, at teh begining of the 1st down candle after the...

Ive used them for a few months now. Not 1 problem. They handle every thing I throw at them, and they have a good price. Good back office too. They answer your questions fast. Go with them. I definetly recommend them.

I found a home and a good deal but thanks. Now I am just looking for more funding or a equity partner.

Their interface is terrible and they have no customer service. i looked at that pro active Truff posted about. rates similiar to IB.

True Jay. For the most part I trade the ES and NQ Eminis. I intend on adding trading vehicles as capital under management grows. I have approx. $600k pledged from people I have traded with in the past, and I expect to take in atleasst $450k of that for the initial wave of fund raising...

After 8 years of trading OPM for other people I finally left a top named prop fund and started my own CTA. Im talking to a few IBs and Im looking for a good rate, good service and maybe some assistance to raising capital or access to their clients to so such - any ideas or recommendations would...

The Industry standard in test preparation is STC (Securities Training Corp) and its a lot less than the ones you mentioned. Buy the book. read it once, take the tests 5-6 times each and take every quetion you got wrong another 5-6 times. when you start getting 85%+ every time you are ready

I just started a CTA and would love a few acquaintances like that. Care to share?:) BTW nice home page.
