    Anyone heard of Savi Trading?

    Just checked the original and on my reply to tomsmith's post about one of the 'big guys' being on a demo account was deleted. I also said that if they were legit, they should show you anything you wish.. Maybe someone is trying to cover something up? I don't know but I am not here to slag off...

    Anyone heard of Savi Trading?

    Good spot but I think its probably just a coincidence. Countless prop firms are based at 4 Broadgate. If I am correct, its owned by a company that offers off-the-shelf solutions (office space, bloomberg etc. everything you need to start-up) to prop firms, hedgefunds and financial services. This...

    Extracting Alpha from Futures trading

    If your interested in learning about futures trading - I would advise reading up about the market profile. This works great on Eurostoxx and Bund (never tried it on S&P so cannot comment). A fantastic book is 'Mind Over Markets' by Dalton. The Dax can be extremely volatile and hard to trade at...

    Anyone heard of Savi Trading?

    Hmmm. There was a really interesting post from someone called Tom (which most of my post was referring to) Although in the space of 10 minutes while I was writing my reply, it seems to have disappeared?

    Anyone heard of Savi Trading?

    I don't know anything about Savi Trading but I think paying for training is pretty useless. If you cant get a paid position, you can learn everything yourself, the money you were going to give to these 'prop firms' save and put into your own account. Although I can understand for a complete...

    The Battle

    Option 2. The market is one big auction. When I first started trading, I was made to read Mind Over Markets by Dalton which explains this perfectly that the market is simply one big auction. Makes sense to me! I would recommend anyone to read Mind Over Markets by Dalton or any of Steidlmayer's...

    All trading systems fail

    Most purchased systems fail simply because they have been purchased. This shows that: 1. The trader can't be bothered to work it out himself 2. Why are they selling this system if it makes XXX% much per month? If its that great, they shouldn't have to waste their time selling that crap. This...

    can you trade Binaries / Fixed Odds for a full time living: disscussion

    Cheers for your help Crushabet. Much appreciated. I am currently using Betonmarkets but it looks like IGindex have just introduced custom bets. Initial view, the price feed seems to be 'live' and doesn't lag by a few seconds.

    IG Index: New custom binary bets

    Hello, IG Index have just launched a new service. Custom Binary bets - a lot like Betonmarkets although everything seems to look a lot better. It doesn't have the annoying price lag like Betonmarkets does. Hopefully this service will be good. Anyone used it yet? I would be interested in seeing...

    US visa for self-employed traders

    I have already done a lot of searches on the web and haven't found any definitive answers. No I mean an E2 Visa, its a non-immigrant visa granted by the US embassy for investors with $1m+. Someone mentioned it on here in a previous post, although I am sure being a trader falls into the category...

    Exotic Options Broker: Anyone?

    Hello, I have a quick question to rack your brains: I have always been interested in options but the otherday I saw someone mention on here about Betonmarkets.com which they effectively have exotic FX options/Binary/digital options provided through a bookmaker. I have been playing around with...

    Headway Trading / James Woodhead

    A lot of prop shops do go bust (I know, iv been at one)- but after reading this and the whole way it was handled it doesn't sound like it was fairly done nor does it make him sound like he was honourable. Hence why I think its acceptable to call him a mere asshole. If I was on the receiving end...

    Headway Trading / James Woodhead

    DionysusToast - I am not sure of the address but I believe Headway Trading was based at 4 Broadgate, London (Just off Liverpool Street). I was initially going to enquire with Headway about possibly joining as an experienced trader but never did. In hindsight, it was a good choice.
