Hedge fund performance has really been quite abysmal this year, just came across this: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/charting-hedge-funds-abysmal-2011-track-record-and-mid-november-performance-update

Ya and you would think somebody out there has done that. I remember searching for it a while back and had no luck finding it.

correction :*100,00 shares will get you 500/dollars a month in commission.

Well it just about moves up every day! You can't expect it to not take a break every now and then :)

I can see what you are saying...you are looking at price relative to reference points to establish trades. Mav is just taking a step further out with product selection, spreads, longer holds etc. , he is still looking at price relative to something else...he can just be alot more flexible...

Idk what firms you are calling but this is not my experience! OP you should ask around a bit more. When I first started at my firm, I got charged .004/share and when I went to other firms they offered better. In fact, they told me I was getting ripped off! Depends on what the training is...

Do you trade Crude outside of the intraday time frame? Its right back at that 100 level...seems to want to hold higher. Any opinion?? Seasonal strength doesn't look to come in till around February in Crude tho...so we might have to wait. I'm a believer in Commodity super cycle theory so I...

Man, Vol has really got crushed this past month. I know it is a seasonally weak period for volatility, but looking at this chart really sheds some light on this. That 25 level is pretty important, a monthly close below there and we could possibly get a lift for a while. Looking back in the...

lol, anybody only putting up 5000 with that type of overhead cost and that leverage has almost no way of succeeding. Bring em in and churn them...it like a revolving door lol I bet he could get a much better deal as well, regardless of his situation. I know of some here in Chicago.

agreed, wonder who they are targeting?

Insert: "scalp for show, spread for dough" ...fits nicely. I'm Scalping for now, but looking to take a look at the puzzle pieces and piece together some dough! On some days, I take at look at some spreads that I was watching and they resemble some really clean holds. You know when you...

Any desk fees? 20 to 1 seems relatively low relative to what most firms give as a max. .005 a share is relatively steep too!

I can relate to the comment about letting trades fall in your lap and staying out of the noise. I find some of my best trades are the ones that I anticipate and then just wait. If they show up under the right conditions you hit em', if not then you don't do anything. I get in trouble when I...

Words of wisdom...and with 15 years you are one of the survivors. I haven't met many traders who consistently stay in this game for that period of time! That alone means something, getting in the game and staying there . BTW you say you are "often wrong"...i'd beg to differ. LOL

That stock finally broke out. I've played that thing near the highs so many times when it looked like it would be ready to breakout, gave up on it and there she goes lol

Me too! Just put it on and let it run

....

SPY-FXE spread with a nice breakout today

slipped right past that 35 level ;)
