What is the women and food theory? It sounds intriguing. How can you feel happy when you are poor?

How tight is your definition of tight?

Can you please elaborate?

No, it's not a bad thing if you like having the risk manager breathing down your neck on every trade that you make LOL.

ProfLogic: You said before that you are right. Now you are saying that you are not right. What is going on here? Could you also rephrase your hypothesis more clearly? I think I know what you are saying but I am not exactly sure. Thank you.

The bottom line is that Assent doesn't care about anything other than commissions. That was my impression. Nuttin' but commissions. They smile at you if you generate a lot of commissions. They frown at you if you don't. B/c they only care care only about commissions, they will give...

Aight, Automated had MOC problems. Some other traders had buying power problems. Incorrect buying power would show and prevent the traders from closing positions. Also, Assent holds your money for 12 months. That is a long time IMO.

I can make money trading at a prop firm but I have this nagging guilt like I will get fired if I don't generate enough commissions even though I make money. Here is my question. It sounds stupid but here it is: Am I supposed to make money or generate A LOT commissions? Note the keywords...

The ungrateful traders are the firm. Without these ungrateful traders, there won't be a prop firm. If you want to build a successful firm, you should invest in them so that they succeed. When your traders succeed, you, the firm will succeed, and vice versa. A statement like this...
