Does any one have any experience using https://www.hedgefacts.com ? If you do, would you mind to share some of your experience?

Thanks, Grob and Formika. I agree. Our current 8% standard deviation of monthly returns is a lot more comfortable than the 16% we targeted during 2004 when we had the 50% drawdown. I sleep better at night without hundreds and hundreds of contracts on and earlier this month I even took my first...

ib fa account = no paperwork hassles. If you have an adviser master account and client accounts with Interactivebrokers.com, do they send out K-1 for your client account? Or you as an adviser have to calculate and generate K-1 for each client account?

CPO accounting can be pretty complex (and expensive). CTAs are allowed to combine trades for multiple accounts for execution purposes provided that their procedure for allocating those trades to client accounts is fair and acceptable to the NFA. Where do you learn accounting for CPO? Any...

I think if you trade future products, you don't have to register as an investment advisor in your state. Is this true for all 50 States?

There are many profit centers within Man. Our group trades through the Global Trade desk and we have more support and service than any FCM I have done business with. TT 7.0 is availible and they cover our floor needs well. They do allocation for us at the end of day and all the paperwork for...

I like to learn more about hedgefacts as well. Did you get any inputs?

I’ve learnt in my life not to focus on why something CANNOT be done, but why it CAN! That’s my personal philosophy. I like the above statement. Good Job!

Once you have various managed accounts, you should be able to bunch orders and transmit one order to each broker for all accounts with that broker. I would recommend finding one broker and sending business his way unless you plan on managing some serious coin, then you should form a CPO. I...

Gain divided by drawdowns should be in excess of an 8:1 ratio. What does above statement mean? Does it mean if the annual gain is 16% the maximum annual drawdown can not be more than 16/8 =2%? Please advise. Thanks.

Have you seen any CTA ad on any news paper or on line?

How about international news paper?

This explains how a program with 28.9% annualized returns over 5 years 28.9% is out standing. How did you do that? What did you trade? How often did you trade? Do you do day trading or position trading?

Buy you (a nature person) is a CTA, right?

I saw: (a) 429 has only CPO members (b) 750 has only CTA members (c ) 839 have both CPO/CTA members So total of CPO/CTA is 429+750+839=2018 Total of CPO is 429+839 = 1278 Total of CTA is 750+839 = 1589 If you exclude "Exchanges 10" and "Associates 53,787", 3840...

Schindler Trading has no sales channel. I under impression that you are a CTA as well. As a CTA, I though you can advertise yourself. Have you though about put your ad on news paper, etc? If not, why not?
