    Becoming a CTA, CPO, or manage futures

I'm paying $80 per client per month at the moment and it seems like money for old rope, especially as i was paying $25 for the same service, complete...

    Becoming a CTA, CPO, or manage futures

    While I am here..here is my 2 cents... I have been registered as a CTA in the US since Dec last year. Before then I used the loophole of less than 15 clients and not actively marketing yourself (holding yourself out as a CTA) to trade client funds as an exempt CTA. It doesn't make any...

    Ego and the ET Poster

    Good call London...this sites had its day...overrun by ego/testosterone....adolescents running their mouths...(reminds me of the Liffe floor 10 yrs ago) and truth is your probably right in that most of them will be humbled at some point soon and won't make it to adulthood, they'll just disappear...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Came across this by accident, but you guys have amused me intently for the last 1/2 hr or so whilst I perused the comments...some pretty techy people out there!! On a serious note, I am a CTA looking for a Third Party Marketer and wondered if any of you could recommend some? I am listed in the...
