Yea I never traded pairs before and I don't really see the "benefit" of hedging a position, to me that's just limiting your upside while paying more in commissions and fees. Of course its the firms money that's on the line so they have every right to impose these rules to minimize their risk but I don't see the benefit for the trader.
Quote from trilogic:
Why would anyone trade pairs unless had very specific strategy- bright lays this all out nice and neat for the trader ?
I would think if a "trader" is looking for leverage look not further than fut's and options - why bright ?
Simple there are over 5000 stocks you can choose to trade but less then 50 futures you can realistically trade.

Are you? I didn't mention anything about leverage in my post. I simply said you get more opportunities to find trades that meet your criteria with stocks then you would with futures.
Hi, yes. Ok I understand
so with Options many of us struggle and me included to gain 30 percent a year with a decent risk reward profile. Its hard.
What would the average BT pairs guys end up with in a good year with 200k in account ? I assume same returns with up to 3mm and as little as 25k but just a starting question for the pairs
We know guys, top guys on street fair well trading equities and including pairs, would be interested how a guy in Las Vegas under BT would fair against them- would they do better becasie associated with BT???
Thank you
No reason to fight about all this... some strategies work very well, and they may require leverage...many find this useful. Some may not, no big deal.
If you're doing "ok" with $50K or $100K BP, you may do much better with $500K or $1mil BP.
If you're not doing so well, you may benefit from working within a successful group of traders, seems to make sense to me.
All the best, Kumbaya gang, LOL.
