Prop in London, UK
I think you're looking at it the wrong way. You sound like you think a firm would expect you to trade big size from day 1. wrong. unless you have a track record of real trading, they will start you on a 1 lot. if you hit your targets, you up the size. if you consistenly hit your targets...- CBuster

Prop in London, UK

Prop in London, UK
Tha's not exactly true. I trade at a shop with no cash down. 100% backed. P&L splits are worse than self backed but that's the trade-off. I guess some would still call it an arcade - depends on your definition. Besides, if you are young (?) most of the "arcades" have grad schemes where...- CBuster

+$1,690 net on 56k shares Churned a lot here too but a decent end result. I'll take it :) Angry - sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Hope you rethink giving up. Takes a long time to get consistent. Maybe think about looking for a new strategy if this one's not working for you. -

High-ish volume for me and would have been a decent day except for one filthy raping. But guess that's just the risk of doing business on days like today -$213 net -

how to read bloomberg news into program?
Sadly, I do not think this is possible. Even if it could be done, getting the news into a format where a computer could read it and make decisions (buy / sell / etc) is a massive task. Other providers do offer a news-reader API but they tend to be VERY expensive All that said, if you do...- CBuster
