sp 1300 min target for yr end, wouldn't be surprised by 1350 either.

Some firms have conversions which allow you to short on a downtick. I used to use them myself thru Assent about 6 months ago.

Trading futures on my own for almost 3 months. Traded stocks for almost 3 years. I may eventually go prop with futures but we'll see.

Hydroblunt (or Anybody Else that works in a Stock Prop Shop), Are you seeing more newbies come into your offices in 2005 versus other years? How are they doing? I would think starting after 2002 would be getting into the game a little late, missing the best years. I started in a prop shop...

Good luck! Do you get to decide what to trade? Curious how many trades per day the typical trader does there. I do maybe 2-3 trades per day trading the Russell on my own. Keep us posted.

FT71, What do you trade? I remember you trade the DAX I think but what else do you scalp with size? I just got started with the Russell last month. Thanks for your posts. :cool:
