Executing the Mad Hedge Fund Trader?s?Trade Alerts?from the other side of the world can pose some annoying challenges. After speaking with many of my Australian followers on my recent trip down under, I learned of the obstacles presented by distant time zones, dealing in foreign currencies, regulations, and obtaining live customer support.
I want to make my service easy as possible for everyone to follow. Execution of my?Trade Alerts?should never be an issue. The?Mad Hedge Fund Trader?has therefore tied up with?Halifax Investment Services Limited, an established local broker, to provide support and execution services for my Australian followers.
