"put 3k down - get 20,30,:1 leverage. 85-100% payout." Which prop shop does this? Do you have a link? Please PM me! THANK YOU!

Or similarly, are there any prop shops that don't require any money down at all to start and no monthly fees or commission fees? They don't pay a salary but will instead pay you a percentage of the profits?

Are there any prop shops that you know of that will pay you a monthly salary to trade? That don't charge any fees and will get you setup and trained? In return, you might get less of a payout, but you'd get a salary and a good start. Then you can later switch to a higher payout with fees...

Thanks for the great response! What's I/B (interactive brokers?) and is that a prop shop? I thought they where retail only.

Trading 1 share? Are you serious?

Could you send me a few names that offer those deals? That sounds really good. If you can PM me or post the info here. Do they offer remote? Thanks.

Are you serious? What's the point of that then. My understanding is 1 lot = 100 shares. Therefore 100 lots = 100 x 100 = 10,000. That's crazy if all you can trade is 100 shares to start. You'll basically be scalping for hours and lose money purely in slippage.

Why not? Do any of these prop shops currently have a Dallas/Fort Worth area office? Assent Warrior Fund Jasper Trading Franklin Group ProTrader Momentum Which one is the best? I'm looking at doing stock and equity/index option trading. Thank you.

If Bright Trading is so successful, how come they shut the Dallas office down?

I'm just saying hypothetically. Am I bound to a contract?

I'm considering Bright Trading as a remote prop shop but have some concerns and questions. I saw a lot limit of 100 for new prop traders. What does that translate to? In stock it would be 10,000 shares of stock. What about option contracts? What other limitations are there initially...

How much does the average US prop shop allow for leverage? If you put in $5k what will they allow you to use? What if you lose a fortune? I hear prop shops like Swift trade don't come after you but what about prop shops like Bright Trading? Will they come after you for losses? What if...

Let's start an official thread on this. Seems like there are a million threads out there on prop trading and all the information is scattered around. The three topics are.. Startup Costs: What it costs to start with the firm. Leverage: Intraday leverage, overnight leverage...

Are there any prop firms located in Dallas/Fort Worth? Any tips on getting into one in DFW? What are the upfront requirements? I am series 7 licensed if that is a requirement. Or are there any U.S. prop trading firms that allow traders to trade from home? Thank you.

I would like to be an expert trader in the FX markets. I'm currently working on finishing up my undergrad degree and was wondering what I should major in? At first I thought Finance, but then I did more research and found out that top traders don't major in Finance. They usually major in...
