Hi Ira:

Thx for the link.  I’ll read it through.  Yes, these laws you cited are correct. 

I will write up a paper based on my research and legal analysis given the particular model I’m looking at and get back to you for perhaps your input.  I would be sincerely indebted to you.

I see a correlative relationship with FX and equities markets… my technical analysis works for either/in concert with fundamentals – e.g. economic reports.

The interesting index chart is to take the Baltic Dry Index; DOW; and S&P – at 3years… and you’ll see a clear picture of what is driving the global economy.

I got some good feedback raising these concerns and the fact that some people are honestly trying to wrap there mind around the concept.

For one thing, I don’t work for a brokerage, and I’m not soliciting for business. I’m an independently contracted account manager/trader for the Forex Spot market.   My contracts are specific about this and there is no conflict of interest under these provisions.  If I were “the” FXManager in a Stock Club to solicit monies for a specific brokerage, then that could raise concerns of conflict of interest.  But, for example the Stock Club was an LLC or Corporation, then it can be the decision of the that entity to decide on the FXManager they wanted to use.  But if by profession I am a FXManager, but join a Stock Club, that would not be a conflict of interest or in violation of SEC laws and/or CFTC et al; as it’s a personal choice and I am not enducing the members of the Stock Club to exclusively participate with any FX brokerage that I am contracted with.  It’s a gray area… so it’s a matter of clarifying the boundaries of the relationship in the LCC or Corporation bylaws.  At least that’s my sidewalk discussion on the matter… but I’ll dig into this and find out. 

You raised the right caveats.  Thx. 

I greatly appreciate this, and I’ll get back to you on my own interpretation/determination in consideration of the legal jurisdictions.

Tough market today.  It’s not over.  ABX surged +258 gain.  My own equity portfolio took a +208 gain today.  DUK was the only negative… ACH is next to fall… such an odd thing today… YEN took the lion share of market sentiment with CHF following… but Nikkei is on the skids now… these correlations are interesting…

Good luck.  I like your website and what you offer.

Best,
