Any serious traders out there based in or around Nottingham who would be interested in sharing an office and splitting costs? I trade futures full-time and I have nearly 10 years experience and I'd be willing to pass on my knowledge and experience to any co-workers. PM me if you're interested.

LMAX offers some very good opportunities for fx traders. Sierra chart/ LMAX through FIX connection, for example. Very stable and fast with tight spreads. Is your algo trend, volatility or reversion based?

Ukraine had many benefits (Kiev) but still, it's 2nd world. Depends what you can tolerate etc. Language is a problem for non Russian speakers. I've come to realize language is key to e place. You have to be able to communicate.

I've just spent 4 months in Ukraine. I will never worry about living conditions in the UK or Spain again. Barcelona is still fabulous.

TradeStation 2000i for sale (including manuals and History disk). Genuine article. All offers considered.

Keep an eye on the thread, amigos, who knows, next year perhaps...? phatfish

Hey guys, I still like the idea. Problem is trading is a precarious business: not too many are succesful or their careers are short lived. So, getting genuine parties together that are profitable would be difficult, I think. The other idea is to just get a basic arcade office up and running and...

Hey bfree, sounds like a nice idea. Apartments are pricier (as I'm sure you know) the shorter the lease, so for a month or two for a biggish appartment it's going to be pricey and you'd have to make sure that you had firm commitments from other participants before signing anything. Also, there...

Hey Macklefinch Im thinking that a smallish office for around 5-10 people would be a good place to start. I've seen the range of prices for serviced accommodation but I'm wondering if would be better to go directly through a BCN based agency to get a better deal? I think that all we'd need is a...

I still hope this can be a runner, although my plan to make the break in spring may well have to be postponed. I'm going to say sometime next year. I've been encouraged by the enthusiastic responses from those who feel it is a good idea and would be willing to come onboard. I've posted...

I'll be trialling 4Cast next week. phatfish

After my trial with TradeTheNews, I'm not that impressed, MNI is a better service but too pricey. TTN is okay but lacking in the focus, useful orientation and commentary that I felt came with MNI. Most of it's useful content could be had from CNBCand Yahoo premium. Anyway, I'll keep looking...

Quick update on News service providers. Tradethenews, which I'm currently trying out, is very good. I'm the Text Headlines package for Credit/FX/Futures. Excellent service for $50/month and they also offer futures Squawk. They may offer a good deal for several of us, I'll look into it and report...

I've been talking with reps at MNI (Market News International). They can offer FX and Credit bullets, which should cover the needs of FX, commodity, index and stock traders for £150 each per month based on 5 or more of us. I'll look into other news services and if anyone has any preferences/...

Hi all just a quick update for those that may still be interested in the barca idea. I've just returned from hols and have had a few more pm's from potentially interested folks. This may be a runner after all if we can get enough on board up front who are looking for similiar facilities and we...
