I have a South Beach apartment and am moving to Bahamas next week. But I've traded in Miami Beach for a few months via Bellsouth DSL. They are reliable for trading, use them. Here's the thing. You will probably find the connection times out on you during peak hours around 5 pm to 11 pm...

I will not be trading SSF (single stock futures), I will only be trading one thing and that is the S&P emini contract. I trade these contracts and hold them for a length of time as short as 24 hours, and as long as several weeks without changing direction. I have been informed by industry...

OK, that might work OK. Under that scenario, I would give him 50% of my performace allocation for the people that he DIRECTLY referred to me on an ongoing basis. And he would have no interest at all in a "twin pool" I would set up that makes exactly the same trades, but contains customers he...

QUESTION - If I start and operate a commodity pool, am I allowed to give a percentage of any performance allocation I earn from the pool to an individual who put me in contact with rich people that became the "seed" investors for the pool? I want to give him 10% of my allocation on a...

Ffasttrade is great if you are doing volume. They charge less overall than just about evryone else, the platform is extremely stable and very fast, and customer service is great. They always pick up the phone immediately every time. I have traded large volume with them for 8 months and...

I've been with Ffasttrade 6 months and am VERY pleased. They have the lowest rates if you trade sufficient volume, I pay $3.32 per RT plus $550 platform fee per month. System is very fast and reliable, telephone service is great too, no waiting times.

I might be named canadian_dude, but I'm living in South Beach right now at the Flamingo Resort. I plan to split my time between Grand Bahama island and South beach in 2004. No more shovelling snow for this canadian_dude, that is OVER !!! And Miami does have a real team, they're named the...

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!! Finally someone gets what I was trying to state in my original post.

How can this info be correct? Everything I have ever read about hedge funds states that your investors must be contributing a MINIMUM of $50,000 each, need at least $1 million in assets, etc. If I could take a smaller amount like $10-20 K from each investor, it would be much easier for me...

There's a lot of hedge fund talk here, and that's good, but its not exactly what my original question was all about. I will repeat it here: Does anyone know what the costs are to run a Registered Commodity Pool versus a hedge fund start-up? I would think the Pool would be much cheaper to...

I want to start one for several reasons. I engage in 3 types of trading. 1. I trade the emini Nasdaq with 4 times leverage factor early in the morning, if the opportunity presents itself for a trade. I only trade one time, if I trade at all. The position is never held beyond about 30...

The honest truth is I started with $110,000 in capital in April 2002, and in the first 12 months I turned it into over $330,000. The return was about 202%. In the next 4 months, I built the $330,000 into about $430,000 as of today, including about $10,000 in new capital investments. I am the...

Sure, I realize that, but you have to understand I have no desire to make any money from my friends $10 K investment, for many of them I would do it for free. I trade with a personal capital base of of about $425,000 these days, so all I am saying is that having their extra $10 K is a small...

I've had a lot of success as a trader over the last 18 months. I made over 200% profit on capital during the first 12 month period, trading the emini's. I do NOT daytrade, I trade only a couple times a day, sometimes I do not trade at all for several days, I just hold a position. Like...

I want to PROVE my trading results in a cost efficient way, so that I can attract investment capital for a hedge fund a few years from now. Some background: I've had a lot of success as a trader over the last 18 months. I made over 200% profit on capital during the first 12 month period...

Overnight gaps are MUCH MUCH smaller, they are almost non-existant most days. I posted a thread about this recently. For 5 years we had huge overnight gaps, many of them over 3% on NDX, and as high as 6% a couple times. But that type of gap action has disappeared during the last 6 months...

All I am saying is that if they believed so strongly in it in October 2002, they should still be mentioning it now. They should be out there stating that they don't believe October 2002 was the bottom, that a new lower bottom is still coming, and that then we will still get that 90/90 day...

Notice how these so called "economics experts" are really good at making lots of predictions, no matter how wild they are. And they are really good at pointing out all the times they were right in the past. But when it comes to analyzing just how wrong they were on so many of their past...

Another thing I notice is a lack of follow through at the end of the day in the last half year. Rarely does the NAZ 100 seem to close at its session highs or lows anymore. But in the 5 year bubble phase, it often accelerated upwards in the late afternoon on up days, and screamed downwards in...
