    Should I join this prop firm or keep trading for myself?

    How do you only have 800k purchasing power? You don't have a pm account?

    What's the minimum liquidity needed to get in and out a stock fairly easily?

    Say if my order size is 1% of the average daily volume, would I be able to get my order filled fairly easily (not needing to chase the ask or bid)? If not then what's the minimum threshold? Thanks in advance.

    IB can't purchase more than 1 booster pack

    Anybody else have this problem? No matter how many booster packs I purchased when I get to the market data subscription page it always shows I only have 1, and my TWS still shows I hit the data limit. Talked to their reps twice and they have no clue.

    Percent of your total portfolio that you risk on each trade?

    I do stat arb with 20-30 open positions pretty much at all times, each trade both long & short use around 5%. My vol is extremely low so I'll probably lever up soon.

    Lowest commission for UK stocks

    Just wondering where can I find the lowest commission for UK stocks. I'm based in US, IB which I use charges about £6 per trade, would I be able to find much cheaper rate elsewhere or is that about as good as I can get? Thanks in advance!

    Brokerage Firms...ya get what ya pay for

    I called IB about 5-6 times, the wait was never over 10 mins, not a big deal to me. From my extremely small sample size the male customer service reps were also much more knowledgeable and efficient than the females.
