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 loss 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.

Not much going on for us right now in terms of actual trading.  Devrim has made his money for the month in fine style, so he probably won’t trade again until March.  Forexmx trader has been laid up with bad gastritis.  Armada keeps being pushed back though they may have traded today.  HVB we’ll unfortunately […]



Volatility in Forex

By admin • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: CBM, Devrim, HVB, K-3, PR Program, Paskewitz, Sentiment, Zone

K3 rips up after four losing days, still near lows.  Sentiment has another up day, 2% or so.  Zone flattish on the month, but has decided to accept notional funding which is exciting, 50k will get you 250k in exposure subject to some guidelines.  I love their risk control - as they lose they trade […]



Year off to a good start

By admin • Jan 4th, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Algorithmic, CBM, Devrim, Dr Jason, HVB, K-3, Sentiment

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.



Doing our best to make money with managed accounts

By admin • Jan 3rd, 2008 • Category: Alderon, Bankedge, BlendedFX, CBM, Devrim, Dr Jason, Echelon, Fort Orange, Paskewitz, Ronin, Sentiment, Seymour, Sorrentino

I like managed accounts.  So much cleaner than a hedge fund in my opinion - and ideally less risk, more transparency, and far better access to capital.  You can have your money any time, you can monitor risk, and they can’t run off to the islands with your money.  That being said much of the […]



Back from China

By admin • Dec 11th, 2007 • Category: Alderon, Algorithmic, Aussie, BlendedFX, CBM, China, Devrim, Elite, HVB, K-3, Nyland, Sentiment, Seymour, Stop Finder, Zone

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 […]



Forex money makers

By admin • Nov 30th, 2007 • Category: Alderon, BlendedFX, CBM, China, Devrim, Elite, HVB, K-3, Sentiment, Stop Finder, VAM, Zone

Title may be a bit misleading - VAM off a bunch again, didn’t get shut off yesterday.  Elite also off.  And K-3 off as well, all three to new lows for this drawdown period.  Hopefully we won’t be watching Elite or VAM soon.  On the good side Devrim’s flat, went to new equity highs yesterday, […]



New Forex Traders, up day

By admin • Nov 29th, 2007 • Category: CBM, Devrim, Elite, FBT, HVB, K-3, Nyland, Paskewitz, Sentiment, Seymour, Stop Finder, VAM

VAM and Elite were finally dropped by everybody I know so won’t be tracking them anymore, VAM out at a 40% loss (um, not impressed), Elite down around 16% from their peak.  K-3 down a couple percent.  CBM account was allocated to K-3, didn’t realize.  CBM closed up a bit on the month.  On the […]



Stopfinder Managed Forex and the Bulls

By admin • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: CBM, Devrim, Elite, HVB, K-3, Sentiment, Stop Finder, VAM, Zone

Went to the Bulls game last night with all the Stopfinder guys.  Suite in the upper levels - was fun to go to an American event with Europeans, always fun to see the reactions and compare cultures and thoughts.  Great time and great people, and it sure seems the product is doing well, they were […]



Managed Forex Report, new large FX traders

By admin • Nov 27th, 2007 • Category: Algorithmic, CBM, Elite, HVB, K-3, Layman, Panholzer, Sentiment, Seymour, Stop Finder, VAM

VAM big up day, 5% to recover the previous day’s losses almost exactly.  Elite down a little more, about 11% off the highs, down for two months.  CBM and K-3 moved together yet again, down .6 and .8% respectively.  Sentiment up.
Looking into Panholzer, Layman, and a handful of others.  All audited, professional groups managing 10s […]



Post-holidays

By admin • Nov 26th, 2007 • Category: Aussie, CBM, Devrim, Elite, HVB, K-3, Sentiment, Seymour, Stop Finder, Swanson, VAM

K-3 and CBM up a bit, correlation carries on.  Sentiment down again.  Devrim flattish.  VAM spanked another 5%, down 35% from their peak - add?  Dunno.  Elite off a couple % too.
Looking into Stopfinder running.  HVB been down a couple days, we’ll see what happens today.  Daytrading going well.  Off to China next week, Atlanta after […]
