Harpenden Trading is hosting a pre-launch event on Thursday the 4th of February in the Harpenden House Hotel. If you would like to attend please email [email protected] or register here: http://www.harpendentrading.com/Events.html Feel free to come along and meet with traders...

I want it for the lifestyle - I want to do something local and not have to commute into London every day. That is the point of doing it up here. I want to slope off to go to the school play without it being a 2.5 hour round trip. I want to spend longer in bed. I would like to see my kids...

But if you want a serious, heavy-hitting set up, we can do those, too.

I'm not. I'm going to be more open and up front, meaning everyone should be able to get a deal that works best for them and their trading strategy. If you want to trade with some cheap internet broker I'm not going to force you to pay me double to boost my profits!

Costs are what you see - rent / rates / maintenance of office space, fixtures and fittings, IT (plus support), connectivity, office supplies, tea, coffee, admin staff, etc. In a bit over three thousand sq ft you get a very nice office, good trading atmosphere, and about 40 x 1,600mm trading...

You don't need to be - you can do it from home. It just gives support, structure, discipline and the ability to work with like minded indviduals. It is not for everyone and not everyone needs it.

This new place does not care what time frame you trade over - its open to anyone who is a self-financed trader and wants to work from a professional trading floor. Opens early next year. No ties to any particular broker / custodian / other suppliers. www.harpendentrading.com
