I prefer managed accounts so much over hedge funds. The great liquidity, no lock-up, transparency, watching your own risk in real time, nobody running off with your money. It makes so much sense to me. Hedge funds just seem more risky to me in so many ways. Whether the account is in stocks, futures, FX, […]
Spoke with the Genoa manager at length today. He has always adjusted to the market, shortening and lengthening his timeframe as the markets indicate. He has been papertrading with the shortened hold time in hours instead of days. He says volatility is through the roof and it’s not safe for him to hold the longer term. He’s been […]
Not a whole ton of movement going on the last few days.
Rove still off about 5%, Opulen (Forex System Research - Opulen is the name at a new broker he may be added to) off about 14% for me since beginning. Devrim also still about the same. Genoa still the same. UFX the same, he’s […]
Opulen trader called today. They were very upfront about their recent drawdown, I like to see that. They have recovered a good bit and are doing some intensive research to try and avoid it in the future with some additional filters, they think they’ve found some they think will be effective. We’ll see what happens, hopefully […]
Found out my email wasn’t working on the www.ForexCTAs.com site and tried to fix it and managed to blow it up, and then after a good bit of work, fix it again. If it still comes up goofy for you, clear your cookies and all should be well. Let me know if you need help doing […]
Had Genoa in today to meet with a group of investors from a fund based in the Caymans. I always like listening to Ian’s story, I pick up more details every time and more questions get answered. I found out today that he increases or decreases his trading timeframe depending on the markets and volatility […]
Hm - I’ve put up several posts since the end of July , something happened, they’re gone or never went up, maybe it was a switch to using Firefox instead of MSExplorer that messed things up. I’ll recap the last week or so in managed accounts over the next few days.
Genoa has some trades he thinks […]
Had Genoa/Ian up about 2% gross on the month though I suppose he could still trade this evening but I doubt it. We’ll see how he does on his next trades, curious to see if he’s for real.
Devrim up, recovering some from last month, well off his lows. Investing with him has big downs but […]
Genoa Capital (Ian) has some trades developing and very close to putting them on - we’ll see if he gets something on, it’s been a few weeks since his last trades. Says he has multiple good setups pending so we should get trades across all FCMs, though some may be different. He says […]
Opening up some new guys - none of which are compensated on trading volume, which I like. Rove started today, Forex System Research we’ll get opened over the next week or two, and Long/Short Timing mailed in yesterday, which is actually a mutual fund timing program with solid numbers we’re excited about, low drawdowns […]
