    IB's Canadian Registration..............

    I've done some modest research on them. I believe they scalp Nasdaq stocks only. If you're hired you'll get a 30% payout , no capital contribution required. I've received varying responses on what they charge for commissions, anywhere from 3 cents/share down 0 (based on BID rebates). I think...

    Schonfeld Sec. bad moon rising ???

    I just called Schonfeld and the receptionist told me that they NOT closing any offices; that in fact they were opening an office in Brooklyn. When asked whether or not they were hiring, she said no at first, but then said they might be hiriing for the new office. I assume this was a weak...

    Will our new accounts be in Canadian funds or US funds, or will we have the option? If they are forced to stay in CDN currency, then every time we trade a U.S. stock we will get dinged on the foreign exchange spread on the purchase AND sale.

    ATTN: All professional/prop firm owners and managers.

    Schonfeld Sec. bad moon rising ???

    Could someone please explain to me WHY Schonfeld would purchase Broadway? From this and previous threads I understand that Schoni is supposedly getting away from scalping and momentum, and that Broadway was a weak and feeble firm. Its not like Schoni would be buying Broadway's "brain...

    ATTN: All professional/prop firm owners and managers.

    No, Redwood was not the same as Bright. They only have about 6 guys trading in their Vegas office (1 stone cold newbie). Everybody trades differenently...some guys trade level II, one guy trades pairs, etc. They have offices in San Fran, Vegas, Miami, and one opening in Orange County. They...

    ATTN: All professional/prop firm owners and managers.

    Dilman, I completely agree with you. I was reading a discussion on Vault.com about the hiring practices at Susquehanna and they fire off a bunch of Bayes Theorem probability questions during the phone interview. I haven't taken a statistics class in over 2 years, so I'd have to brush up...

    Future of daytrading....

    If you talk to any older traders, they'll tell you that the current market is indeed, "normal". So if you're waiting around for the markets to return to the 1990's boom period, you might be waiting decades. We may never see a market like that in our lifetime (cliche). I think people have...
