Ben Lomond! There is a blast from the past. I was raised in Saratoga, but spent lots of time in the SC mtns. Had many a rainy camping trip in your neck of the woods. Most people don't realize that place can be a temperate rain forest some winters. Pretty place.
SouthBay-----Morgan Hill I am wiring up a 1200 SF office to trade my own capital with my CTA. Any like minded traders are welcomed. I got room for 4 to 6 guys and would consider any traders that wants to develop a good environment over time and benefit from the idea sharing. PM me with any interest.
Office is done here in Morgan Hill and we also have a new small office in San Diego. Both are about 1400 SF. All asset classes welcomed and I have the ability to back a few traders using our grey box systems.....so any local traders looking for an independent office.......give me a PM and go from there. US, Asian and Eurex programs are available. So we are running three shifts. Only serious traders inquire...no newbies.
