The movie Schindler's List helped alot with people learning how to spell "Schindler" but not even having Moses' brother or the home run king being named "Aaron" has helped for my first name. I still get Arron or Aron (or even Erin!) all too often. :) Btw, where'd you find my middle initial?

Have you read the three manuals: Wealth-Lab Developer 3.0 User Guide, WealthScript Language Guide, and WealthScript Function Reference? They are pdfs and are on the WLD download page. Everything about Wealth-Lab is in those three books.

Like what? Could you please elaborate? I can think of a few ways, but I'm interested in what you have in mind.

Thanks for the link, chessman. I enjoyed the KWBK website. I'm going to email Mr. Rogers (the KWBK CTA) a link to this thread. Maybe he has a few comments. His fee structure is interesting. It looks like there is no management fee, only a 25% performance fee. He puts his money where his...

*laugh* Nice analogy, TexTrader. Gambling, dieting, trading, meeting girls at a bar...hope springs eternal.

How do you like that Silencer-400? It sounds (or rather doesn't sound!) nice.

Part of the reason the "attrition" on hedgefund.net is so high is because a bunch of small managers recently stopped reporting results to them. Hedgefund.net decided to start charging $500 per year to managers with < $10 million in assets. Of course you are going to get a lot of "attrition" if...

I input the same specs on both Dell and InternetiShop and found Dell to be cheaper. For a 3.0Ghz Pentium 4 system with 1GB Ram, 120GB harddrive, a gamer-friendly Radeon 9800 Pro video card, XP Professional, and various other things, Dell wants $1516 (including shipping) and InternetiShop wants...

*laugh* If you lose their money, not only will you be sad, but you won't have anyone to comfort you. :p

Definitely not. The less competition in my business the better. :) Actually, like you said, there are pros and cons of managing money for other people. Other's have mentioned the increased income as an advantage. A disadvantage is the loss of freedom. Some of the great things about being...

I talked to someone at IB who said IB will be offering EurexUS right from the start on Sunday night. He said they also are offering the BOX options exchange immediately, also. As of this morning, I think? I haven't checked. He said the unbundled commissions calculator is taking a little...

Nice posts, NihabaAshi. Thank you.

So far, so good! When are you going to cover?

"Capital management" usually goes in the management company name, not the hedge fund name. Put something like "partners" or "fund" or "investments" in the name, like "Oasis Fund, LLC" or "Oasis Investment Partners, LLC"

Most hedge fund managers are ethical and follow the investment program they have described to their investors. The reason the auditor usually signs off on the numbers the fund manager sends the auditor's way, is because they are usually correct numbers. Most auditors do a thorough audit and...

The account opening documents that the client sends to the broker are going to require that the client agree to cover any losses above and beyond the cash in the account. There is no "promissory note" or other agreement between the CTA and the client. The CTA's disclosure document (that...

Brokers rarely get into the situation of having to collect from clients. The whole idea of the performance margin system is to be sure there is enough cash in the account to cover likely losses. The likely scenario is that, as an account loses money and doesn't have enough cash to meet margin...

Then the investor will owe money to the broker. The broker will freeze the account, liquidate the positions, and try to collect any remaining debt from the investor. You as the CTA aren't on the hook. (Unless the investor wants to sue you — which is likely if you didn't follow the trading...

Yeah, like Fast Trader says, it just means to trade the account more aggressively. The account owner doesn't need to keep the extra funds on hand. Just make sure the account owner knows they can lose more than their account balance and would have to send in additional money to the broker to...
