Maverick uses Interactive Brokers/IBKR/TWS

Maverick Trading has been around since the 90's and they offer full option trading. T3 trading also offers some option trading but it is scaled down on what you can do and hold overnight. Both are US based

I hate to tell you this as everyone else here has been very nice to you. What you are looking for doesn't exist. Why would anyone give a relatively new trader capital to trade with no risk deposit to ensure against your losses. You saw that trading live is much harder than demo/sim trading...

+1 soccerscott on your post And thanks for the laugh as well. In any business there will be winners and losers. The winners will go about their business with a smile on their faces and the losers pout and complain that it is not their fault. That is how the world works.

The cheaper the options, the less likely to be profitable. If you don't understand options pricing, I would recommend not trading options. You can easily run this through an options pricing calculator and find your probabilities are quite low. I would guess around 5%

I guess friendly discourse went out the window. This will be my last post. The first thing you need to understand is you are not being hired. You are not getting a job. You are not working on the desk at Goldman. And concerning training, where in your entitled little fantasy world do...

Haha! These message boards are so absurd. I just put out a post saying how I read through these boars and people jump on and say scam this and scam that and how they are just people that don't understand the business. In just two posts, here they come. Scam this and scam that. How lame...

Great articles guys. I read the bashing some of the posters leave here on Elite trader about prop firms which is ridiculous. The complain about this and that and nothing is ever good enough. It always comes down to one thing they complain about...money. If a firm requires them to put up...

Trading isn't about the money. The money is just a way to measure your success. If you think that professional traders trade so they can buy ferraris and buy yachts, you totally don't get it. A good example is someone who decides they want to compete in an ironman triathlon. They don't do...

Haha. Don't get used to it. I'm sure this thread will turn into the typical bashing and negativity fairly soon. By the way, all you guys are posers and you suck. There. I started it.

The point Bob111 is trying to make is that making a living in the market is a lot of hard work and takes a serious commitment. It is very similar to someone who starts a business. The person that commits everything to that business and works weekends, nights and whenever they can will succeed...

I doubt it will make much difference. The retail guys got wiped out the last few days

I really don't think the Jackson Hole conference is going to be the thing that pushes the naz to 2000. I think it is inevitable we go there anyway and it will give the pundits something on tv to point to and say, "That's why we crashed. Because of Bernanke"

They are set up like a casino. This doesn't mean you can't win. It's just that most of the people that come in the doors will lose.

Hey Maverick. Looked like you hit it on the head except you left a lot of money on the table. That of course is hindsight and everyone would be a rock star if we could trade off that. Well done and keep the posts coming. Mach
