Forex Risk Disclosure Statement


Forex (FX) trading carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Forex can be traded with a high degree of leverage, which can work for you as well as against you, and it is possible to lose more than you invest. You should only invest funds that you can afford to lose and do not need to support yourself or your family. You should carefully consider all risks involved with forex trading as well as your financial situation, investment objectives, and risk tolerance before investing. Forex is traded over-the-counter (OTC) and not on a regulated Exchange.

Managed Accounts and Sailboat Racing Next Week

By admin • Jul 18th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Ash, FBT, Ketch, Lonestar, Mansfield, PTI, Uncategorized

I watch five managed futures accounts for a client - four of five of them are up over the last two months, which is about when I started watching them. Pretty impressive, some options sellers, some traders, one program I believe is soft closed. Anyways it’s fun to watch them run, if […]



Volatile markets

By admin • Mar 11th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Armada, Aussie, BlendedFX, Devrim, ForexMx, James B

Volatility is crazy out there.  Treats some well, hurts others.  Blended off, painful for his robotic systems.  Devrim up today, no trading yesterday, good for him, he loves this kind of activity.  I consider him a mix of systematic and discretionary.  Alderon off, still have visibility on an account of theirs, not sure why I […]



Devrim up strong

By admin • Mar 7th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Bankedge, Devrim, ForexMx

He loves this volatility.  His assets are up significantly - it’s always a worry when assets grow for a manager that they won’t be able to handle it psychologically, or the system won’t be able to take it - looks to me like Devrim’s handling it just fine. Granted it’s still small money in the […]



BlendedFX has a great February

By admin • Mar 4th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Armada, BlendedFX, Consulting, ForexMx, ICT, James B

Just got an email from Tim, they caught some big moves in the last week of February to put them up 6+% on the month, good to see after a flattish January.  Armada I believe has begun trading, waiting to see how they’ve done.  ForexMx down a bit yesterday in our first day watching them.  […]



Trading

By admin • Feb 29th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Armada, Devrim, ForexMx, Paskewitz

Ready for the weekend!  Came across a group with a huge long record, Hathersage if anybody’s heard of them.  Started some preliminary research.  Also a new futures program by a fellow last name of George, comes with a history from a previous firm, daytrader, doing about 30% with a 5% max drawdown on a monthly […]



Devrim up again

By admin • Feb 27th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Armada, BlendedFX, Devrim, ICT, PR Program, Zone, pegasus

I was mistaken, as is often the case, Devrim’s managed Forex program wasn’t finished for the month, he’s been trading up a storm and making more money, nice to see.  No big risk or big positions that I’ve seen, chalking up steady gains it appears.  Traded all day today too.  Not to say it will always […]



Pressure

By admin • Feb 25th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Armada, Devrim, ForexMx

Getting more pressure from a group we’ve covered negatively in the past to pull down all info about them.  Don’t like that. 
Devrim no trade.  Armada should finally be live tomorrow, talked with Randy.  I hope that’s a very successful product.   Lots of potential.  Alderon struggling as seems to be there MO.  Tom of ForexMx back from […]



Friday

By admin • Feb 1st, 2008 • Category: Alderon, ForexMx, HVB, K-3, Mcelhaney, SPCM, Seymour, Zone

Looks like another good day for HVB though the day isn’t finished.  Devrim flat, Alderon finishes up a bit on the month.  Zone up 1.5% net on the month.  K-3 drops a bit more than they were up yesterday - the volatility is so much higher with them than it was, bummer to see them give […]



K3 hammered

By admin • Jan 23rd, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Bankedge, BlendedFX, Devrim, ForexMx, HVB, K-3, PTI, SPCM, Sentiment

K3 kept some gains but gave back the lions share, ouch.  Sentiment off again some more, probably pulling the plug on them for myself, taking my gains and moving on to SPCM most likely.  Devrim recovered some, flat at his home firm.  Bankedge giving back some gains, building some longer-term positions.  Blended to new highs […]



K3 Rocking

By admin • Jan 18th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Algorithmic, Bankedge, BlendedFX, Devrim, Echelon, ForexMx, HVB, K-3, Mcelhaney, PTI, SPCM, Sentiment, Seymour

K-3 up strong for the fourth day in a row.  Great to see, impressive off their worst drawdown, good buy for anybody who had the courage to get in down there.  Blended is doing fine, slow and steady to the upside.  Bankedge haven’t heard from in a couple days.  Chatted with Seymour for a while […]
