Yeah, I thought RichSohn was just a creative way of writing rich son too.

They scalp. It's all intraday/daytrading. They trade the bund, bobl, eurostoxx, they just got the eminis this week, and they also trade the NOB spread. It's up to you to trade what you want. It's trial by fire. You start out on a simulator. If you get consistent, you get to trade one...

:eek: EOM.

Dude just go to Oxford already! It looks like you already decided anyhow so what's the point of posting it here? What if you got responses to your question that said your Oxford diploma will not help you at all with getting a trading job? You would still go to Oxford at this point anyways...

Maybe you should have taken the position. I'm not sure about this, but I would think that having a trading position on your resume would open more doors to other trading jobs than a degree from Oxford would. But, either way, it sounds like you're in a win-win situation. If you found a...

I heard that the training is minimal, but it's all hearsay, so I'm not sure.

No it's not that the salary only lasts for one year. It's on-going. But, if you're not making money after a year or so, they're not going to keep you.

Yes. I was supposed to interview with them this coming Monday, but some stuff came up, so I don't think I'll be able to make it. I think any deal that pays you while you learn is good. The payout structure is not the greatest there, but who cares. They give you 6 months to a year to figure...

:eek:

I think most places offer some sort of health insurance option.

Why the hell should people living outside the US have to pay US taxes at all? It's so ridiculous that they would try to get rid of the 80k exemption.

That's an interesting point, but why then are there many former market makers at the prop firm I'm at? Why do more seem to keep coming in? Don't they know they have no edge? Maybe they just wanted to try being suckers for a change.

Tradestocks149 It's obvious you are a firm owner that makes money off of ripping off your traders. Why would sambatrade be banned? That's just ridiculous. Are you afraid some of your traders will read this forum and figure out that they are getting fvcked? Sorry, but sambatrade is not...

You can use the deluxe stock screener on MSN to get stocks that ranged over $1 today. I guess you could run the screen for a few days to get stocks that average over $1 or you could just create an XL sheet that queries the historical high and low values off the net and look for stocks that have...

It's very possible that a mistake on your taxes can be viewed as a willful attempt to defraud the government. Try talking to an attorney that represents people getting audited. Fabricating? Why is it so hard for you to accept that stuff like this happens? It happened. Sorry to let you down...

Do they pay you back for lost business during the time they made your place look like a fvcking huge drug bust when they find there's nothing wrong with your filing? Nope.

They spent more money than they made defending themselves legally. Why? Because they thought that they might get fined? Noone is going to spend so much money to defend themselves if all their facing is a small fine. It's because of the potential prison term why they took the extra...

It's true that they don't usually give out long prison terms for making small mistakes. That's not what I said. What I said was that the potential exists. If you've ever had an audit by the IRS you'd know that even if they find a small mistake on your tax filings they carry a potential prison...

Not only is the tax code screwed up, the penalties for making errors way too severe. Does it make sense for someone who makes a small mistake on their tax filings to potentially face a long prison sentence? There's nobody on the planet that knows every detail in the tax code that includes the...

I think it happens all the time. However, the IRS knows this happens and came up with an exit tax. If they determine that you are giving up your US citizenship for tax purposes, they apply a special tax which is a tax on your estimated income for the next 10 years. If you don't pay, you can...
