I guess its a lot different over there in Europe. Prop trading at 16? Over here, its mandatory to have at least a bachelor's degree. And even that is useless unless its from an Ivy league school. I have a fairly high GPA from a decent university and most firms won't even look at me because...

They want a full $25,000 performance deposit. Minimal training if any . There are probably better places to go.

Go to school. Its a stupid piece of paper but everyone needs it. If you ever want to switch firms, etc. most companies won't even look at you without a degree.

Why don't you guys archive, say, the past 3 sessions of your radio show on your website?

Thanks for the heads up. Have these companies updated their study material yet?

Schony is looking to grow??? I thought they were in the process of cleaning house and closing offices? They have been threads on this site about them firing profitable traders and possibly getting out of proprietary trading.

Tell him to drop her and go after #6.

Robert, So quote and data fees are included? Or just exchange fees? Who do you use? S&P comstock, trackdata ???

Besides your $200 per month desk fee, internet, commissions, and haircut charges, what other monthly fees do you remote traders have to pay? Do you have to pay for execution or filtering/quote software or is that included? Any other hidden fees? Thanks in advance, :D

Could you please explain how we could be grandfathered in at Echo? I think I heard that if you were once a member of the PHLX and you joined another PHLX firm, then you could be grandfathered. Also, once your are 'grandfathered', do you have full privileges or are you a restricted member...

Let me make it clear that I have no affiliation with Worldco. I just figured putting $0 down and getting between 80-95% payout would be better than putting $5000 down and getting a 50% split.

If you're already in NYC, why not just go to WorldCo? If you've been at SLK and have experience, Hitman will hire you with no capital requirement and a decent commission rate.

I curious to know what Hold Brothers offered you. (commissions, split, etc. Thanks, Ax.

If you're getting lonely trading remotely, why don't you just join a prop firm? I'm sure you could find some tape readers there.

Try Redwood Trading. I think they accept retail customers.

What licenses do you require? I've heard that taking the Series 62 then the 55 was an easier and less time-consuming route than taking the Series 7. Will you be able to sponsor incoming traders prior to them moving out west? Thanks, axe

...at this horrible prop deal is because its from CANADA. I'm fairly certain that this is Swifttrade's standard offer to newbies. This is the kind of crap you can deal when you're ONLY prop firm in the country. (Its called a monopoly). Thank god for IB. 8 days and counting!!!

Turlo, are you with Andover?

I doubt any of the firms that require you to put up your own money will enable you to get an H1-B. You're technically a customer and you would probably fall under B-1 (6 month vistor pass), and possibly TN. I know some guys at Bright in Vegas and Detroit that are getting B-1 to trade. But...
