And you'd better have a sizeable cushion above the 25K. If you slip below that, even for a moment, suspensions, etc will occur.

Which Prop firms offer Health Insurance Plans to their traders? Ideally in NY area, but this is not a must. Thank you in advance for your replies.

I can probably scrape up the 5G necessary. Please let me know your top recommendations for a group that will help me the most to get reacclimated to short term trading and also a place where there is genuine sharing of ideas and strategies. Also if you have particular places to avoid that are...

I traded prop for one of the most higly respected day trading firms in NY and FL from 1993 - 2000. I have been out of the business for most of the time since then. I am hoping to find a way to get my foot in the door for any firm in NY or remotely from my apartment starting in March or April. I...

I have recently resumed futures after a lenghty layoff. I have limited myself to these 2 instruments. It is somewhat predictable when there wil be more volatility in both of these. Crude inventories are released on a schedule and the day before there will be unusual activity. Also weather...

Don't think he ever was licensed. Heard something about him shooting soemone with a BB gun when he was 15? Not that it would have disqualified him. What happened to AG? At one time, he was a stand-up guy. Unfortunately, he became a puppet like the rest. Sad. PM must be grinning from ear to ear.

WSB was never registered. It may be tough to go after him. Not clear whether he called the shots or was a puppet of his father and uncle.
