FX Manager Update

As always Phil and Ian getting going. Ian has logins and such and has the green light - the sales fee is waived for now for clients, will be adding fees fairly soon depending on performance, so good time to get in. Phil should be starting soon too but I expect a couple more days on him. PFG to start for both. I like them both as we will know pretty quick with low relative drawdowns if they’re for real.
New month so Devrim may start trading anytime.
HVB en fuego, up nearly 4% today, nice way to start a new month.
Lunched and met with the top two guys at ADM’s Derivatives FX division, like them a bunch, seems like a terrific operation, we’ll see how that relationship goes. Low fees. Also Fimat/Newedge London going well, spoke with them this morning as well, pretty excited about a solid bank relationship. Really low fees.
Had word from our old friend who used to make money nearly every day - will be chatting with him Monday, he has a new program coming out, numbers look stellar. Have a good comfort level with him as he’s made us great money in the past. Looking forward to that call.
007 finishes the month up 1.75%, a far cry from its track record but still nice to see a positive month.
Bankedge STILL waiting for an AUD break but making money on other trades. CBM haven’t heard but I believe the month was very ugly for them. ForexMx ends the month off over 2%, first two month losing streak ever according to their track record.
Mcelhannon had a good month. Folks love listening to him and his webinars, so much experience. Retail program up solid on the month though we can’t verify that yet.
SPCM down some on the month - 2 in a row for them too.
Off to Jazzfest in N’Awlins tomorrow afternoon for a bachelor party with my sailboat racing buds - should be a great time. Get to see my friend Jimmy Buffett amongst many others play live.
