Nitro... holy sarcasm! :cool: All I can say is... I'd love to see how it turns out, and I'm glad someone else is doing it so I'll never have to.

I could use some extra money... wonder if "boyfriends for a month" sell just as well?

I can't say I've looked at a statistically relevant number of Canadian firms as compared to US firms... it would seem that most deals are pretty similar between the two countries. If there's no profit split the trader usually has to put up at least $5,000 and gets 4:1 to 10:1 margin for...

As supplemental income last year, I was selling DVDs on consignment. It paid the rent and it only took a few hours a week. This was done through my friend's consignment company-- he gets wholesale DVDs in Canada for a low price, and sells then on Ebay (to primarily US customers) for the same...

Traders debating the a/theism issue. I love it. :D Seems the overwhelming number of traders lean towards the atheist side. I don't think that's a coincidence. Someone should put up a poll in here: "Which better describes your belief system: atheism or theism?"

...and they didn't get away from the Sherriff!

It sounds like you will benefit from the learning opportunity at Swift-- I wish you luck!

Thanks for the advice so far... it has been really helpful. Ebay does have the best prices for materials. Besides having an obligation to work for a firm who sponsors my series 7, is there any other way to get it? Is there a firm which will sponsor traders based on employment history or...

I still think Swift is a good option for people interested in trying their hands at daytrading in a relatively risk-free environment. (There was less risk when the traders had employment benefits, but I digress.) For those who've been there awhile and proven to themselves that they have what...

Here are some reasons why people stay... -- first job out of college/university, they've got some residual debt and as such can't afford (or THINK they can't afford) the time and money to switch jobs or look for a new prop firm. -- commitment to certain trading styles they don't think they...

tenfly switched to Golden... what are some other soon-to-be-ex-SwiftTraders' plans?

I'm a Canadian trader interested in getting my Series 7, so I can open up prop opportunities for myself in the USA. Can anyone direct me to the appropriate websites and/or tell me what's involved? Is it simply a course you can take, or do you need a sponsor and a position lined up at a US...

You'd be mad too if, a few months into your first career-job out of university, your employer said, "In two weeks you're all fired... but you can stay on for a massive pay cut, if you want."

I'm a new trader and have started the year off with a 2004 copy. The general knowledge and historical statistics of each calendar day are all I can really use as a prop scalper... as I learn more and start getting into larger time-in momentum trading I'll be using far more, I'm sure.
