Hedge Funds are LPs. The brokers can't go after the partners personal assets unless they sign a personal guarantee. That personal guarantee not a typical document. The same is true for LLCs and corporations like a S-corp or C-corp.

I like the news accumulators. They take real time news from many sources and place it on your desktop. It is also searchable. Check out: http://www.acquiremedia.com/products/newsedgev8. This is not cheap, but worth it to me. Bob

gariki, I can do master/sub accounts at Apex Clearing. The cash stays in the master account and the sub accounts are used to monitoring P&L per trader or per strategy. Margin is only calculated based on the net positions for ALL sub accounts combined, as you desire. Unfortunately, we are not...
