How do you know it works 99% of the time? And why are you qualifying the "setup", and not the trader? What says it's not the trader who makes it work 99% of the time. Looking for "setups" is one thing. Making it work is another.

I think I might just list my future experience(s) with Montreal prop firms here, for the benefit of future newbies. Anyway, about to add a couple new names to the first post for documentation purposes. Now: WTS: Legit firm in Montreal's financial district, close to the Orange metro...

^ Thanks! Right on it.

Hey, best I could find seems to be this: Link. Is that it? There are way too many posts about Montreal firms, so I might have missed any comprehensive list posted about MTL firms. Would you know which post in particular this was? Thanks!

There is no such as an ideal pullback -- or any ideal pattern, for that matter. There are, however, some contextual cues to look for. 1. A trend is necessary (duh) 2. A point where buyers/sellers are likely to sell/buy has been hit (call it S/R if you want) 3. There is a sell-off/bear...

+ve over a consistent period with a demonstrable edge, for the "trade" part. Emotional stability and ability to take a loss while demonstrating focus, discipline, dedication, and extreme patience for the "trader" part. Also, a Zen-state of mind is not required, but highly recommended!

Broker's point of view? "Milk them through commissions, baby!" Seriously, commissions on options are just ridiculous. That's where the large majority of your losses are likely to come from. As for risky, eh. Not really. It depends on the leverage of the instrument and you account size...

Lol! Might drop by in the future. :D Hmm... is this it? I gotta say I've never been enamoured with system trading of any kind. I'm more the intuitive type who goes by, well, intuition (order flow patterns, etc.) rather than statistical analysis or quant stuff. But hey, I'm open to learning...

That's on the other side of the pond, lol. But heck, list e'm if there are any. I might check them out one day if I ever visit Vancouver.

^ Now that sounds the kind of environment I'd like to experience. Would anyone know if there is any firm in Montreal that has a similar style?

^ That sounds about right for a bank. What if you have a lot of experience? Does that change anything or do they put credentials above anything else?

Well, looks like this discussion has bloomed quite nicely. To add my bit on HFT and all that: are they really all that bad? As far as I can tell, they've only really been affecting true scalpers, and they're in an arms race for the best tech at the best cost anyway. It's not a war that's...

Nice discussion, though with polar opposites in terms of opinion it seems. I've no idea who's right and who's wrong, so I'll just find out for myself. That said, anything more about firms in Montreal in particular?

Nice, thanks for the info. Yeah, I'd be profitable right now since I've got my method, but I'm still very inconsistent and I lack screen time experience. :( It's one reason I thought looking into working in a prop would work out. I may pay to be there, but I would get experience and maybe...

Hey all, first post here. I'd be interested in knowing what firms there are around here. I've read pretty much every other thread in this section on Montreal, but I don't think I've seen a comprehensive list. Anyway, from what I've gathered, the "big firms" around here are: - Title...
