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 […]
ForexMx is now up 38% for January, trading one prop account so numbers are verifiable. $250k min can be underfunded/notionally funded if need be. He does whip around some on the dailies, monthly resolution smoothes it out. Dailies for this month aren’t very whippy - up up up it looks like. Some days last year he […]
SPCM/Seymour still looking good, figuring out a deal with them. Far more professional than most of the guys we’re used to working with. A real business. Stayed in the Four Seasons when he was here, top notch everything. Up 2%+ already this month, looks like a good year. Million min but working it out where […]
Had a good time at the PFG conference in Arizona. Met some good folks, ate some great food, saw some old friends, and made some new friends. Got a few ideas on new traders. One is a fellow from Jamaica doing 10% a month the last 4 years - ponzi scheme? Sounded like it, though later […]
Dr. Jason makes for a good story. A friend had some money with him through December and had done well. Supposedly Dr. Jason rarely holds through the weekend and had told me a 5-10% drawdown was cause for concern. Apparently he held a 30% loser into the weekend, it opened at 50% down, and after clients […]
Sentiment up, K-3 up, Alderon up, CBM up, Devrim up both places after fees. Dr. Jason doing well though very short record. Echelon up, HVB up.
Algorithmic down.
Big group of new guys still researching and getting set up - lots of promise but time will tell. Attrition rate is high as we’ve seen.
Trading’s usually very light - and seems to be volatile during the holidays - Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hurts some, helps others. K-3 got hurt badly, worst daily drawdown I can remember. They’ve recoverd a bit of it since. Devrim’s been wisely sitting out, enjoying the fruits of his terrific year - what a trader he is. […]
I updated our site today, www.ForexCTAs.com - it has some of the newer guys we are talking about as well as the old ones, and has the data updated as far as I have it.
There have been some good comments - thanks for responding. glad to have folks involved and sharing their experiences, good and […]
Only to head out to Atlanta tomorrow morning to work with the black box/grey box equity trading group that does so well every day. Equities is a great place to be - the traders in China make money every day, so do the Atlanta guys. Problem is scalability, they can’t take on client money.
China was […]
Up again tonight trading and training in China. Good times. Went to hot pot at a nice restaurant for “dinner” though it was really our breakfast. Last day here, I head home Monday, will be touring this weekend and Monday.
Devrim to new highs, up a percent again today. He’s talented. Sentiment up a bit. HVB […]
