Preston, If you have a strong record, I am sure you will be able to raise some funds, no matter your trading approach. You may want to start out by trading as a prop trader for a fund and if you're consistent, your risk limit will be lifted to a million or two in no time.

It is hard, but it can be done. I've done it personally (3 losing month in a 2-year period, all single digit while profitable months are in the mid double digits) and I think anyone with a passion and work hard enough can do it.

FX is not regulated in my country. SEC has no jurisdiction here. CFTC has no jurisdiction here. Nor does the FSA and IRS. I can take care of tax issues myself. Thank you. Could someone help me with this?

Thanks for your response! I already live offshore and am not an US citizen. I'd like to set up a company so its more official.

Hi, I've been trading FX for quite some years now and have finally been able to generate a consistent profit stream for the past 2 years. Now I am looking to manage some OPM. Right now what I am thinking is to set up a managed account service via Oanda's FXManager platform. I'd like...

Anyone?

Because it was up SO much.

I've heard Geely bidding for GM's overseas unit. Unlikely anyone would put money into its domestic business. It's a mess and plus no one wants to deal with the union.

Hi there, Sure it is legal! The CFTC and SEC have no business in HK. They can't touch you. But you should know you're still regulated by the SFC of HongKong. You need to apply for a type 9 license. Might as well do it in US because HongKong is really really well regulated. Better than the...

why would anyone post such things in a public forum? This is who I'm competing with in the market. Will he take my money or will I take his?

BTW Having a huge reserve during this crisis has to be a major advantage, yes? Simple finance, debts are more expensive in an deflationary enviroment. Yet it is something the US is accumulating at a rapid speed. Just take a look at the 5yr auction this past week. The tail was 5 basis...

Hi tradestrong, I have to differ. The dollar is primarily bought because of the deleveraging. Excessive supply of money being drawn out the system has to be bullish for the dollar. Same thing with the yen. Private equity relied on leverage. It is broken now. Repatriation from emerging markets...

Does any one have a Global Macro Investor subscription and could you please be kind enough to send me an invite? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! So if I have less than 16 accounts and <$25mm I don't need to be registered?

There is nothing they can do. If they want you to pay up, they gotta find you first.

just curious do you need to be licensed to run a managed account?

Hi there, I trade the Chinese A shares. For foreigners you're probably looking at the B and H shares market which are a lot smaller. I don't trade futures so I can't help you with that. I execute via a local broker. If you have a prime broker relationship they most likely will offer execution...

What's your visa status? Declare closer relationship with another country to avoid taxes. Also check if there's tax treaty between you and the other country. Or open a brokerage account with your foreign ID & address.

I think you misunderstood what he said. My understanding is that he meant if the US wanted more money from China, it had to first guarantee the existing debt, which is perfectly fine. BTW, this has nothing to do with markets or honor of contracts, it's politics. Who's got the leverage?

wow "Chinese are intellectually inferior" WOW....
