    FX Prop/Trading House Startup in Calgary

    Plan on using currenex, hotspotFXi, maybe Lava, going through Dukascopy, MF Global FX Clear, and/or GFT Prime. Not sure exactly but the more size/volume traded the better the comission. I like the idea of using Dukascopy because of having my money in a swiss brokerage I can can claim what i...

    FX Prop/Trading House Startup in Calgary

    Anyway, perhaps a trading group would be a better idea, less hassle and startup/rent plus we can write off a portion of our house expenses etc. I do think that there's some potential to the idea of a forex prop shop. Pretty much all the prop shops are equities futures, etc. There's just a...

    any swifttraders?????

    Im not a swift trader but I understand how they work... They dont pay a comission. Way to do your research. But you are right, in most stocks there were limits to how much we could buy/sell and still get good fills.

    FX Prop/Trading House Startup in Calgary

    How is having the capital or access to the capital a red flag? I didn't post this to hear negative criticisms, if you're going to do that there's plenty of forums and people on here that like the bitch, it helps them feel important and involved. By pooling our resources, brains, and...

    FX Prop/Trading House Startup in Calgary

    I think a pool table, fooseball, ping pong, good food/drink, maybe a hot tub? I didn't say it would be a trader jail... More like a trader paradise where traders would really look forward to coming into the office to trade. Sure we can all trade at home but that can be lonely, and you...

    FX Prop/Trading House Startup in Calgary

    Some would know how to trade, sure. The idea would be to filter out the tire kickers from the comitted traders, and train the comitted people to the extreme, teaching them how to trade, and trade well, or adding onto their existing skills making them better traders. I'm not interested in...

Traders would have access to true ECN style execution, deep liquidity with 15+ liquidity providers, where they can bid/offer and get filled before the price moves, where they can play the spread, where 1...

    Prop Firms in Calgary

    Swift is absolutely a scalp firm. They make most of their money from scalping, or from "pass through" fees. At least that's how it was when I was there. They didn't believe in or use tech analysis. The ideas is that if they put enough monkeys in front of the screen some of them will figure...
