I think so too! If we can go over 1M and keep Sharpe~2.5 for about a year, money can find us.

I feel the same way about family's and friends' money. Anyway, I won't be able to raise money that way ...

Raising seven figure $$$ on a three month track record would be a mini or more like mega miracle :) It's more likely that he might be able to get 500k to start and then another 500k after 6-8 months of decent track record. After the first 1M, if the performance is still decent then we can have...

LaLa Land maybe... I agree 3-months of track record is nothing especially for institutional money. However, potential partner has already existing clients and relationships. He got me started with a decent amount of equity to start building track record. I think for him to raise 1-2M will be...

Thank you LeeD for your suggestions.

The track record is only 3 months old, but it's inline with historical calculations of about 20% / year with sharpe ratio~2.5. .. I think he can raise 1 M with relative ease and perhaps 2 M. Thank you.

We are planning the usual 2/20 fee structure. You brought in an interesting idea that I haven't thought of. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your reply. The problem is that it'll be almost impossible for me to raise enough money to start trading to build a track record. So I need him or similar people at this time. So the question of how to split the partnership will come up again. I also feel that 30-40 percent is a...

Hi all, I'm about to get into a partnership with another person to start a CTA venture. At this stage, we'll go for the managed futures route. I will be responsible for all of the technical stuff such as trading system maintenance, trading, research etc.. I will also do the daily trading...

Good luck with your study!

Great, thank you! It looks like a pretty decent teaching material.

Has anyone taken the Series 3 Exam lately? Besides NFA documents, I am looking for a study guide to buy. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Series 3 study guide? Cheers!

Hi all, I am looking for a utility program that can convert Tradestation tik files into ASCII format. Is anyone aware of such a program? Thanks?

Thank you very much, I wasn't aware of them.

Nice discussion here... Does anyone know a vendor like Opentick (now they are gone)? They used to provide API to pull in data and do whatever you want to it. I used their free data but haven't used their API. However, with something like that one could write an automated system from scratch...

From: http://www.cftc.gov/industryoversight/intermediaries/cpoctaexemptionsexclusions.html "Exemption from Registration as a Commodity Trading Advisor Section 4m(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), 7 USC 6m(1), provides an exemption from registration for a person who, in the preceding...

Thank you very much. It sounds like things haven't changed much then.

This is a question for people running Tradestation automation for trade executions.... I used to use TS for running strategies for futures in automation mode. I always used bracket/OCA orders and TS handled those in a peculiar way. For instance, they would only send one leg of the OCA/Bracket...

Here is the data I have...

Hi all, I downloaded data from OpenTick and would like to compare EOD data with another source for accuracy. Does anyone know a free source for end of day data for daily OHLC data including volume for ZN (10 year treasury note futures)? I built the following continuous contract file from...
