    New York City prop firms

    Hi Mav, What do you mean by pedigree ? What type of "pedigree" can a 22-yo have if its not a top 10 school solid degree ? Or do you mean a "been with GS since straight outta high school coz their grandfather was a partner" type of pedigree ?

    Trading and Dating/social status

    Victor Niederhoffer was given another chance after his first blow up in 1997. And he did exceedingly well with his new fund, until, that is, he blew up again. And while fraud may make investors run for the hills, being convicted (and charged) of market manipulation doesn't seem to worry them...

    Is it possible to move from prop to IB based on PnL ?

    You'd think performance history would more clearly prove your ability to "earn profits" as opposed to educational history. And yeh I agree with Surf, probably better to move from prop to hedge fund than from prop to an IB, especially now that all the IBs are spinning off their prop desks...

    Swiss banks to turn over US clients' names to IRS

    End of an era for Switzerland maybe. Singapore still has very strict banking privacy laws. It is in violation of Singaporean state law (ie. a criminal offence) for a financial institution to give out details of its clients to any third party. Now isn't that a beautiful thing :D

    Profit targets in IB TWS

    Hi, Which order type would you use as a profit target in TWS ? eg. I bought SLV at $35.00 and want to place an order to sell if it hits $35.70. Market-if-touched looks interesting. Is this what people use for profit targets? Cheers.
