    Getting started with a Prop Firm (My experience - ongoing!) Lake Street Trading

    Not sure if "the Guy" is me but it didn't end badly for me. I haven't traded with them since the end of last summer but I did still have some money with them which they just had frozen. Anyway, I get an email from them a few days ago that they are returning the money I had with them and sure...

    I haven't been trading for a few months but I still cant report any problems. I still have my money in that account and they've allowed me to keep it in there with no penalties and no further charges while I am un-able to trade. Im very busy in the Fall with my job and am un-able to day trade...

    no issues with withdrawls. You can only withdrawl twice a month though, 1st and 15th and you submit the withdrawl the day before. Some weeks I'm up and some weeks I'm down. Ive had a busy summer with work and haven't been able to put a lot of full time into day trading. Once my current...

    everything is still going great. Def recommend them. Things have even gotten better since I first started. They added some things that allowed for more shorts to be available and Bulls is also currently working on some cheaper fee's and such for members.

    Still using them. Nothing has gone wrong and everything is smoother than anticipated. I really didn't have anything further to add since nothing has changed so I've just let the thread be as it is.

    yea, I have no idea what Tim was talking about so I didn't bother replying. Anyway, everything is great thus far. If I have any issues good or bad, I'll post them here for sure.

    I have only had one problem with the DAS system and that was the issue I posted before. I Haven't had any problems with the DAS platform since.

    never done one before and not even sure where to do one at. Plus this is the place I found when i was searching for info on the company and other like companies so I just figured I would write it here. All the on-going stuff is pretty much done now so until Im done with them I don't really...

    Made my first cashout. Contacted Lakestreet about the process and they informed me that they do cashouts via wire transfer on the 1st and 15th of each month by request only. So I submitted a request on the 14th (needs to be made the prior day) and it was wired into my bank on the 15th, after...

    Had my first hickup earlier in the week. The DAS platform that Lakestreet uses froze. I was still allowed to sell whatever I was in so it didn't really effect me since I also have ThinkorSwim running as I use TOS for swing trades. I'm not sure if it would let me buy anything, I didn't attempt...

    Didn't realize a $5 stock was a penny stock but none the less many of these trades are in the $3-$5 range. Not all of them but enough to make the $6.50/trade a better option than the .0065/share.

    I'm using my TD account for overnight trades. I'm using LakeStreet for Day trades only, mostly scalps so I'm in and out of trades. Many of these trades are $3-5/share and I might be into them anywhere from $5k-$10k per trade which is more than 1000 shares. I'm usually never in more than 3...

    I'd rather wait 3 months before alerting them :p

    Back to my original subject of blogging my experiences with Lake Street. I did run into a snag this morning (Day 2 of Trading). I carried a trade overnight and at the beginning of the trading day today my Buying Power was out of whack and it wasn't letting me buy anything until the prior days...

    You have the option at the start to either choose $6.50/trade or .0065/share. There isn't a minimum or anything, you simply choose one way or the other. I chose the $6.50/trade because it seemed to work better for me since there are many times that I'm buying more than 1000 shares of...
