    part timer can it be done?

    Working full time and trading part time. And your goal is to eventually trade full time after three to 6 months of trading part time! I would not give yourself a time frame. And I wouldn't start trading with money, if your supporting your family. Just an idea. But I would start analyzing...

    Trading indices at prop firm

    I see, okay I misunderstood, I thought you basicly pushed one style of trading and dissed the rest. That's great that you allow your traders the freedom to trade their own styles, and obvioulsy you have some incredible traders on board! Many firms only push one style, so it gets repetitive...

    Prop Firms in Calgary

    How does the average person without a masters degree from some useless university get a job at UBS or a big brokerage firm trading? And getting paid to trade while not even profitable? I agree though, paying for basic expenses and chair fees is a joke, and on the cheap side of the equation...

    Prop Firms in Calgary

    It doesn't really matter where a trader starts. As long as he starts somewhere, ideally using other peoples money. Most traders on their own struggle just to find one profitable strategy and still get that wrong. Being in an environment where there are profitable traders, however they make their...
