    Asymmetrical trading ideas / Finding a fund or family office to work with.

    I think you're better off trading these "ideas" yourself. Unless you just walked out of a large hedge-fund (in which case you'd still be bound by an nda) or have other super credentials from the industry) your chances are almost 0. You will simply not be able to get through the door. Ideas in...

    Need for advice

    Your question is not as simple as you make it sound. Your age and family situation will heavily influence the answer and you haven't provided any clues for those. I went through a bank's sales & trading program many many moons ago. My view is that it is never a "right" or "wrong" time to start...

    What should a successful Trader's day/week look like?

    This is a very subjective question and it will be different for everybody. It will be predicated on trading style/approach (day, swing etc) and lifestyle choices, including geographic location. You have to make your own choices. That's the whole essence of being "self-employed". It's beautiful...

    Fund Managers

    I will assume this is a genuine and serious question and will answer it as I make a living as a trader and have also been a "fund manager". The skills required are basically the same and there are brilliant traders in the fund management industry as of course in the "retail" industry, even...

    Questions on Counterparty Risk with Trade / Settlement

    The entity that clears the trades will step in. If your broker doesn't clear trades, then the entity they clear through will step in. This is almost never a problem. Your counterparty/broker risk pertains more to what happens to your money when your broker goes bust. This should be your concern...

    How to reduce a loss

    Hi OP - it seems like you're "in trouble" based on your choice of words. In my experience, the only thing you can really do is close the position and start over. Good luck.

    New to Forex Trading

    Unfortunately your question is too generic and open making it almost impossible to answer. For what it's worth, start with one pair only and practice your methodology on it. With regards to "best timeframe", again there is no such thing. This will entirely depend on your trading style and also...

    Arbitrate in euro govies

    This is not an arb. It's an RV trade. An institutional investor, can play the bonds and/or default swaps. PS: arbitrate is the wrong word. you're thinking of arbitrage.

    Need advice

    Reading the market is quite different to trading which in turn is quite different to trading profitably / for a living. Of course reading the market in some shape or form is necessary. You seem to be focused on "knowledge" at this stage. If you're TA inclined, I would advise you to take a look...
