What your saying doesnt agree with Saxons site. They are suggesting that traders receive a small salary when they become trainees, and no desk fees are mentioned. Perhaps their site has changed since I last visited it.

You don't pay that desk fee upfront do you? I'd assume it would be taken from future earnings no?

I love the classic neiderhofferian vic-tim What about all the Seykota addicts?

No, I just know its the most well run bank I've seen. As a foreigner it was never challenging for me to get cash. The Marketing they do is excellent in comparison to most european and north american banks, and they support good art and literature. Ilhan Berk, Can Yucel, as examples.

Perfect then. Yapi Credi is my fav bank in Turkey. Maybe your going there! Eric

I know that opening a bank account in Turkey is hard, I had an emergency and had to get the local bankers help in order to open a bank account. If you choose to open an account to trade Turkish Stocks, you might have a hard time.

Great. I'm Canadian and live in Canada, but I did live in Ankara for 4 months in 1999 and visited different cities. This was before I got interested in the Markets, otherwise I would have stopped by the Exchange in Istanbul.

Are you Turkish?

My problem is I have been using Yahoo data for quite some time. I recently downloaded the data again, and I noticed changes in the data that changed my backtest results. The changes occured on trades several years past, but it made me question my data source. CSI looks interesting, I'll...

Why not just set up a company make him a shareholder and sell shares to him? Then its a private company and no one can say anything about who and what you trade with. Thats what I plan on doing.

Anyone have information on the best source for EOD US Data? I need data for the following: NYSE, AMEX, and Nasdaq. I use Amibroker and need adjusted raw data, not proprietary. Thanks, Eric

Soros just gets into systems how models are reflexive so you have to look at where and when the model will reflex.. in currency, bonds , etc. Not much math. Remember he is the ultimate discretionary trader, he doesnt really have any system that hes follows other than some mysterious back...

We should tie this thread in with the trend following thread at some point. Its interesting how these market times always seem to blow certain kinds of traders up, but the trend followers are the only ones that live to tell the tail. Neiderhoffer needs a 42.857% return to get back to...

Thats something Im not sure about. As I understand it, Companies don't have to report short positions. Puts and Calls however are shown.

Have a look at what they own. I have no idea myself. AQR Quarterly Report: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1167557/000108514606000385/0001085146-06-000385.txt

Kevin, is this Sigma broken down here? http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001167507&owner=include&count=40 It still seems like suspect returns given the holdings Eric

Could be. Personally, I don't understand how they generate billions trading stocks like Altria and General Electric. Similar thing with SAC Capital's Quarterly reports. They dont add up to 65% annual returns, and I went back through them to 1999 and found nothing exciting about their...
