Def this. People trade with props to get around the PDT rule and cuz their routes t Better than retail brokers. That's pretty much.

When u depo to a prop shop, it's exactly that. Ur buying a seat to trade with their leverage. Yea they may train u some bullshit basics but it's YOUR job to do work, research and profit. Not the prop shop. If u want a true life, get an MBA, get Paid 50k a year, and a 50/50 cut. That's the point...

A prop shop is the same as a retail firm. Your not gonna email ETrade and say "hey give Me 100K leverage without a deposit please. "

I know that. Anyone with a pulse and 3k will get a seat. U either lose money and they keep your 3K or you make money and they profit of you. Either way they win. But it cracks me Up more when people think just cuz they watch CNBC and think they can profit off the market and then expect these...

Traders... I've searched ET and havent found much on both. Any info would be great. I know Broad Street Securities is a member of the CBOE, but CTG isn't. Would you feel more comfortable with a brokerage who is with the CBOE instead of a private company? Anything on either of these...

can you explain what you mean? seems like getting a job in one would be impossible from what you're saying?

I am looking for a day trading / short selling simulation software. Something like investopedia has, as a simulator for buying and selling, but I want to be able to day trading in the sense of what is expected of prop traders in arcades and firms. Any help? Thanx
