-25

+9.27 getting better. quite a high percentage return on ECN rebates - nearly 10%. definitely the lowest costs i've ever seen. i could get used to this. :cool: TokyoGhetto: feel better!

-17 and shutdown after hitting the -20 trigger.

-16 traded like a retard. i gotta stop doing that. :(

First time posting. Start of second week at my first prop firm. Last week was something like: T +8 W -4 R -20 F -21 Today: -3 I'm using 10k BP with $20 shutdown.

I'm going to be starting at a prop firm because I don't have the funds to trade with IB. I've been day-trading a small retail account for about a year and I am only able to break even after paying commissions. At this prop firm there are no commissions, only ECN fees/rebates and I trade...

I've recently started at a Canadian prop firm and I'm interested in this question. From what I've determined by browsing around here, lots of traders are now using EDGX to hit orders and I don't understand why they don't use EDGA with routing options. EDGA is free to take and provide and...

Thanks so much Siema! I really appreciate the info. I actually found a manual online for Sterling Pro and have checked it out. It looks pretty shitty compared to thinkorswim active trader. I can't believe prop firms use a platform without auto OCO order entry. Actually, I'm not even certain...

I can't say I agree. If you start out trading 100 shares of C, which has an ATR of about 30 cents, you would only get shut down for the day on one trade if the whole day moved against you. On two trades this would take half a day's range... and so on. Most of the mid-day chop in C stays within...

The issue here is the outrageous 12k fee. Not the tight stop. Provided commissions are low to non-existent, what is wrong with imposing a 0.3% stop loss on a new trader with 10k buying power? The point isn't to make money at the beginning, it's to learn to manage risk and calculate position...

First off, thanks to all who been helpful here. Hopefully I will be able to return the favour at some point. Regarding this: I believe that they go by the name Talent Trading. I was going to post their site but this being my first post I suppose that might be a bad idea. Anyone have...
