U jealous brah ?

I have over a million in net worth and no credit score. Maybe you're talking about retail banks sharing credit information to each other, this has an obvious purpose to manage clients risk. But KYC procedures to know what your address is and your employment details, on an institutional /...

So do you have the name of at least 1 company that facilitates sharing with each other ? I work in a hedge fund and none of our back-office/compliance guy is aware of anything like that, so if it does exist, we'd be interested in having a look at it

I've never heard of financial institutions sharing data to each other about their clients for obvious client retention issues. I think you may be biased.

Well that escalated quickly

You're charged 8% p.a. pro-rata of how many days you keep it open

You do if you lose 50% on your stocks.

4% "guaranteed" by a structured product is impossible. you have some sort of barrier or callable product where you should make 6% with the same risk but because you buy it from the bank you end up just making 4%. Or the underlying zero-coupon is some shit company that borrows at 7% p.a. or 10%...

They're utter shit and you shouldn't touch them, it's designed for private banks clients who have no clue how the market works. If for some reason you like the payoff, you can do them manually by selling an option Yes the broker doesn't do anything, it's alla bout the issuer

Yes because those are government-issued, publicly-available, data.

Unlikely you will find anything before the 80's without a professional budget. At least I've never seen any in my career. Old data needs to be cleaned up and was often saved by different people at different time/format, providers had to buy them from those various people, aggregate them and...

Look at CQG Data api

Yes, why don't you just backtest until time T and see the difference in P&L ?

The whole point of a backtested system is to trade it unconditionally.... if you're 99% systematic and 1% discretionary then you're discretionary...

You clearly have no clue of how merchant banking works. Chambers, the CEO of Cisco, is paid 60m$ a year and you believe what... that he didn't know the IPO valued the company at 2 Bn ? Huh well thank god you're here, you should short cisco

Damned ....100% a year is very doable, wondering what all those hedge funds are doing to make 5%

It's amazing how easily the conversation's subject drifts on this forum.

@dealmaker @justrading @Michael J. Fletcher Yeaaaah TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP WOOOU AMERICA YEAH

Usually your broker (e.g. @Robert Morse) has a list of CTAs or funds that offer managed accounts with their brokerage firm and that's a good start. Another good place is a CTA database such as IASG.com, RCM Alternatives, etc. Most of these database offer you a portfolio construction service (...

You are right, newcomers usually end up with a concentrated portfolio although it may not seem concentrated until it is. In my case, I doubt that a trader that holds Live Cattle spreads for 3 months ends up correlated to a HFT fixed-income contrarian fund, regardless of what the SPX / global...
