I have not received an estimated K-1. And I cannot file a return without the taxpayer ID of the firm.

There are many quant funds assuming an EMH/random underlying in their models and make a ton of money. And there are many funds that don't have that assumption and make a ton of money. But lets put that argument aside for now. My main point is that the theoretical EV of an option purchase or...

Assuming: EMH is true and the underlying is random; isn't the EV of every option trade essentially zero (not taking commissions and slippage into account, after which the EV is negative)? So selling a put is no more riskier than buying a call. Buying calls results if lots of small losses...

I traded for a Dimension sub LLC for a few months in 2007. I'm still waiting for a K-1 for 2007. The LLC owner is saying that Dimension still hasn't released the master K-1. Is this true? Are there other Dimension traders that have not received there 2007 K-1? Or is the sub LLC owner just...

I had a thread under career trader titled: 2008 K-1, Still Haven't Received It. I made a typo in the title, I meant 2007 so I asked her to change the title and she deletes the entire thread.

I was wondering if you're a hedge fund and you had to hire traders, how would you get around the 90% failure rate? 1. Trade only fully automated systems that have been carefully researched and back tested. Remove all discretion. 2. Hire only the smartest guys (top tier MBAs, PHDs, etc.)...

I'd like to know too.

Can someone post the timestamp for Bernanke's remarks. Thanks.

Probably 5% of brokerage accounts generate 95% of all trades - these are the accounts that care about commission costs - the active trader/investor. The other 95% that do 5% of the volume really couldn't care less.

Bank of America offers it and so does Zecco - I'm sure many more brokers to follow. I wonder if anyone is doing it and how is it going. Not exactly a real platform for active traders - and there are limits to the number of trades. So I guess not exactly designed for the active trader in mind...

Assent only takes on licensed traders to trade their account. Since I'm not licensed, I'm looking to join a group where I can trade a sub account and avoid letting licensed.

Looking for a deal, please pm me, or post any helpful information here - thanks.

I created a similar thread here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=89569 I decided against getting registered for the compliance reasons, a bit too restrictive for an active trader.

If you trade a sub account as an unregistered trader then NASD regulations don't apply to you, and you get all the leverage they're willing to provide. If Truff is right then compliance with NASD as registered rep. goes beyond just sending your broker the trade confirms - you have to get...

So if you like to trade options, futures, and other instruments I guess its better to trade as an unlicensed trader in a sub account (llc).

Lets say you get registered by passing the Series 7 and 63 exams. You trade at a prop firm like Assent. And you have another brokerage account outside of Assent. Do you have to report all trades on the outside account to Assent? If so is it simply reporting of trades that you have to do or...

I'm looking for some Assent deals. I got a couple of proposals. I prefer the Hoboken office but will consider NYC offices as well. Please pm me. I'm not a licensed trader and not too experienced either. Thanks.
