I like them, but I would like to know if there is an alternative to news presented in this format (nicely consolidated). Preferably cheaper or free if there is such a thing. Thank you.

Getting 23% is very easy. Getting 23% average every year over a 3 year period (especially, say, 2012-2015) is also very easy. -- Market conditions were ideal, you could just throw money in and I would go up. Getting 23% average every year over a 20 year period is... difficult.. (unheard of?)...

Yup, It seems Prop Firms are (mostly) not my cup of tea. I have money and I trade long term. I suppose the types of Prop Firms that would be of interest to me would be more of a division within a bank/financial institution/hedge fund/etc. and as an employee. Thanks for the clarification all!

So in general there seem to be two types of Prop Firms: 1) Self-funded prop-firms which are typically used by individuals with a small amount of personal capital in the hopes of building up a sizeable net worth. 2) Being an employee of a larger organization where they are paid a salary...

Hello all, I'm not a Day Trader, nor do my interests lie there. I have my own assets (over 100k which seems to be a guideline here in the forums to be self invested). However, I thought doing some Prop Trading might be 'fun' (or a good learning experience). Are there prop trading firms that...

I did a lot of googling and have filtered down some brokers/etc. The challenging part is finding one with good commissions and is respected. Thought I would ask here as one final 'check' in case I missed something :) I'll have to give CorbaTrading a miss as it's in the US (the criteria is...

Don't need Margin, not bothered where the clearing broker is. I'm simply attempting to minimize ties with the US, not worried beyond that.

Hello, I'm presently with IB and quite pleased with them, but I wish to diversify my holdings across multiple brokers. I am looking for a non-US based broker that accepts non-US clients, deals in US Equities and Options. And, I'm looking for someone who has LOW commission rates in the range...

Perhaps the next question here would then be: How do you become a market maker.

Rising interest in Thailand. Add me to the list of those interested in all things going on in Thailand regarding trading/prop firms/etc.

Some awesome feedback here. Just to touch a few points: Intrinsic/Extrinsic: If we are going with options that have a delta value of 1 there should be no cost for buying the option (granted usually it hovers around .96 -.98 but sometimes you can get options at 1.0). Expiring Worthless: The...

Deep In The Money (DITM) Call Options with a Delta 1 (or very close): Why not always do this instead of buying the stock directly? There is the downside: 1) You own an option not stock, so no voting rights. 2) You likewise do not get dividends. 3) The contract price is too high (100x a position...
