    What country has the best Forex traders

    Possibly. By self selection, the most succesful non-american, non-UK currency traders will want to relocate to the country with the best trading hours in the world. That country is the UK. Its special tax regime for non-domiciled individuals doesn't hurt either. France, Spain have similar hours...

    On Bloomberg - psychopaths make best traders

    bobbyod and Larry Wang got it right. trading correctly is not about suppressing emotions. it's about shifting negative emotions towards positive emotions. Suppressing emotions is impossible (for normal people) and it's unhealthy to try it. But you can avoid EXPRESSING that emotion. fear...

    hedge fund crisis brewing ?

    It's not the paper, it's what he wants to do with it.... he wants more regulation... What you call "insight" is so common sense it takes a big dose of arrogance to call it "original research". There are people out there that have been predicting the slowdown in returns of the HF industry...

    He's just telling it like it is. He does not claim to have a racial preference, he's just telling that people do and people can't be changed. In Europe and America they don't like to talk about it it's politically incorrect. But if you go to South-America, then you can hear 'educated'...

    Looting in New Orleans..a new low for americans...and why we are minimizing the effec

    Exactly. They come to the US with the pre-conception that all rich people here have things because they took it from someone else like in their own countries. So looting things from someone else is not bad... the rich do it too... The left makes things worse by reinforcing this third-world...

    Futures Contracts Position Sizing

    you will get a margin call if the loss puts you below maintenance margin for the 10 positions. it will not happen because by then, you or your broker should have already closed all positions. not likely an issue for the most liquid 24-hour contracts in currencies, equity indices or treasuries.

    Futures Contracts Position Sizing

    $100B hedge fund
