Yes, I heard Hold Bros was in trouble also.

When you say "golden handcuffs", do you mean that you and EQ had to sign a no-competition contract? Or that you won't get your bonus unless you hang around until the end of the year? Also, I guess that the resume I sent to Schonfeld last week is being used as firewood (LOL) now that...

Just got home from a week-long voyage in Las Vegas. I interviewed with 2 prop firms while I was there. Redwood Trading and Bright Trading. Don was kind enough to see me less than 20 hours before he was going in for open heart surgery (hope all's well). A new college grad is going to have...

I knew I recognized that name. At first I thought to myself, "Didn't that guy win The World Series of Poker?" :D

I recently heard that the actual number of traders laid off was 400 in the Chicago office. Can you confirm this? axe

Could you share with us why you are no longer with Bright?

Cash, I believe I read on an older thread that you said that they will be changing the Series 7 test this spring, and therefore changing the Series 7 study material. Do you know if this process has taken place yet? Thanks, Ax

Don, Would a example of a sub-LLC be Domestic Securities of Attain Services? Or Generic Trading and Carlin Group? Just curious. Axe

He's in business? What business would that be? The business of misleading and ripping off investors? We're not worried about ourselves, we're worried about the poor schmucks that don't know any better and actually think that Waxie's system will bring them riches. As for you, you seem to...

Pit, I definitely agree that quality of training and then per share commission rates (in that order) are by far the most important issues when choosing a firm. The rest is somewhat secondary. Did you get my PM yesterday? Axe:)

I would like some suggestions for questions I should ask potential employers/prop firm managers. Here's a few of what I've come up with; How intensive is your training program? What are your commissions per share charges? What are your costs on bullets? What are the monthly desk fees...

I am just in awe that this informercial has not been pulled off the air yet by the SEC. AXE

Snake, Thanks for taking the time to comment on this thread. Personally, I think there is too big of a disadvantage to trade retail. (I realize that there are alot of other people on this site that think otherwise). Professionals have an edge and that's why they are professionals. As...

Did I mention that I will be more than willing to relocate? :D :D

No thanks. I am a trader and that's all I'll ever be. I'm just looking for someone to give me a chance. I am not a complete newbie and I know what I am getting into. I do have some experience in the industry. Ax:)

ATTN: All professional/prop firm owners and managers. Due to all of the shameless self-promotion I have witnessed over the past few months on this site, I have decided to shamelessly self-promote myself. I am graduating this week with a degree in Finance with a specialization in...

As traders, we don't concern ourselves with return %. We only care about INCOME in $$$.:)

I didn't realize that Schonfeld only traded NASDAQ. Can anyone confirm this? AX

Did you type that last post without a monitor? Or are you that incredibly lazy that you can't be bothered with the "backspace" button on your keyboard? Do us all a favor and use the "check spelling" feature that Baron has provided for us. You shouldn't be giving advice about anything when...
