Personal information

Biography

started in arbitrage before I knew what the word meant - on the Merc floor. Pit contract trading against a cash account in spot FX at a couple of banks. Those days, you might have a spot rate good for an hour or so. Moved up through floor broker, over to the "bank side" of the business making markets and responsible for my wins and losses - over a twenty year apprenticeship. Now I'm a very opinionated older guy with a ton of contacts and a few good clients and partners. Introducing broker, systems analyst, trader -- you name the vice in this racket -- I've probably got them all. Familiar with the media and most of the pundits of our era. I was often quoted back in the 90's in forex -- such as it was at the time -- when the BOJ would have been in jail had the FX markets then been regulated.

I read the column every day now that I am waiting for my next chapter -- too much time on hand. Good stuff -- would love to comment from time to time.
