Eikon / Xenith, yours for around $150 / month. It's a cut down version of Eikon which prices similarly to BB, and they like to play around with what's included and what's out with zero notice but it covers a lot of bases.

Something different by the sounds of it. Appointed rep schemes don't offer any leverage or capital, they basically offer hedge fund as a service - license sponsorship, legal, prime broker, audit, compliance etc. First loss isn't all that common here, there's one called Falcon and couldn't see...

Makes a lot of sense thanks. Have you or anyone had experience of AR schemes; I don't know if there's any US equivalent but it's effectively umbrella hedge fund services for those not-registered by FCA in the UK. You still need to go through vetting et al, and your point about cap intro vs...

good advice Robert. Given you’ve probably seen all kinds of pitches, what have been the most common mistakes you’ve noticed?

Not sure that's right - the right to be able to appoint an AR for the principal is baked into FSMA 2000, and some of these firms have been doing it for decades. Principal appoints, FCA still has to vet the representative, but they take legal ownership of what you do. Someone round here must...

From what I've seen - and good luck getting an IB rep to reply comprehensively - this is no longer available to UK residents. Family is - but friends no. I presume something to do with changes in AIFM regs but if anyone can confirm. I've accounts of others saying not possible in your...

Picking the brains of anyone UK-based out there. Given a strategy and a potential investor (s), what's the simplest solution to set yourself up as a fund given lack of FCA creds? There are dozens of umbrella services in the UK offering an appointed rep route - has anyone experience of these...

I know you've GPT'd this but yeah, I agree with this line of thinking even though it's flowered it up with some long-ass words. No coincidences.

I’ve met two professional sports betters one in football and the other cricket. Not to put you off, but both part of large syndicates, with teams including meteorologists, social media analysts, sports analysts, the traders who needed contacts worldwide to lay big bets, as well as obviously...

Yeah that sounds horrific for sure and a gruesome application of religion. But my point was, the creation story was always mythological. It was only pious Christian scientists circa C16th that applied literalism to it, and 'worked out' the age of the world which you still see today in Bible...

That’s a lot of effort to disprove a mythological story.

Your use of ChatGPT as your first post, however, shows a lack of personal effort and authenticity. While leveraging AI tools can be helpful, it's important to contribute your own insights and experiences to foster genuine discussions. This community values original input and personal engagement...

You can post all day long, I’m not a moderator. Just pointing out it’s not the best form …

Why don’t you start your own thread rather than hijacking someone else’s?

That's great. So are agent based models. But it's not this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds Mindgamer you might have noticed everyone's gone off at a tangent. 15 years back I pitched Autonomy to use their sentiment analysis to predict volatility in financial markets. My...

I hear you, the idea itself is solid but given the variety of instruments and how cumbersome data collection is I think it'll grind to a halt fairly quickly. I'd imagine you need a set of committed volunteers, one instrument and and easy way to poll price forecasts. Eikon has an institutional...

it's better known as the wisdom of crowds (betting number of marbles in a jar is the example that always gets trotted out; the more participants, the more accurate it becomes). it's already pretty well developed in finance - check out https://www.estimize.com/

Fair enough I wouldn’t argue with your experience, but for me it’s the best I’ve had so far. I’ll check back in in 3 years

Horses for courses I guess. For music it’s amazing, graphics the screen is top notch. But in an office environment it drives me crackers. Loads of minor frustrations which multiply like ebola. As rb7 says you can with a bit of work stop all that shenanigans with windows. For trading I wouldn’t...
