I was wondering the same thing. Anybody with recent experience? I'd like to use them for daytrading. Can't beat the price. I like that they have Level II, unlike OptionsHouse, but a review I saw online said they have trouble keeping your balance straight. What??? Then, I saw another review...

robbie380, I will gladly put down my money. I just don't want it tied to excessive leverage. So, the prop model is out for me. If it is some sort of sharing arrangement, sure. How much would I have to put down at Kershner to get $2.5M? Please don't say $2.5M! Ha, ha. Thanks, KCM

robbie380, I appreciate your quick reply. Two things: Drawdowns happen. I'm sure I don't need to tell you this. Many would tell you, control the risk and the reward will take care of itself. I'm simply controlling my risk. A 2.5% drawdown is low. The quants at my fund would love...

Don, I am unclear about a couple of things. From what I have read on this forum, you offer $1M of buying power if I put up 25k, right? Is this only under the strategies you prefer? For instance, I read on your site about the boot camps you run where certain strategies are taught...

First post, but I have been a fan of the site for a while. Question is: Where do the experienced(positive track record) prop guys go for the best deal without using exaggerated leverage? Does anyone know of some respected hedge fund seeding programs? A little background: I have traded...
