    Hearing the VIX products carnage crushed some Prop Firms

    The sad part is that this was just a handful of traders there, and a bad risk manager, that let this happen. There are a lot of traders that weren’t involved in that trade that will probably lose their capital. I was lucky enough to dodge that bullet, but a lot of guys are now in the dark as...

    Any firms similar to Tower Hill Trading still around?

    Kershner Trading Group might be worth a look. Might require in office participation (Austin or NYC). I don't think I'd call any of these programs "risk free" ...there's opportunity cost.

    Let's talk routing...

    I have IEX routing available but haven't used it. Certainly going to give it a look. Normally I'm adding liq to ARCA which is good but had two outings this week. The first outing hurt because I had lots of resting orders that got cancelled while I stepped away for a minute. So I went to nsdq...

    TAKION

    Bad thing about takion is the lack of docs. Here's an unofficial manual. Might help answer your questions. http://sharktraders.com/etc/docs/ManualTakion.pdf

    TAKION

    I think you have to do it in the Settings/"triggers" tab now. Do you know how to get into the main settings section?

    T3 Trading

T3- " we'll give you what you had at Echo . Just sign these forms and wire $" Me-" ok, but you need...

    When did EDGX drop ECN Rebates? Broker sent email saying to route elsewhere!

    https://www.batstrading.com/support/fee_schedule/edgx/ I got an email about some changes at citadel, so I've been routing to arca for the most part. Bats still showing rebates for edgx...maybe your broker is making a change.

    NBL did have some unusual activity in the stock and options on Friday. What order type are you using? Mkt, lmt? Destination?

    What influences short availability?

    Yes, it depends on the broker and/or clearing firm. Retail: Centerpoint is very good. Also Interactive Brokers. Prop: a prop firm that clears through Merrill or GS should have most availability except small issues.

    "Chat"???

    I liked the old chat and it seemed like we had a good group of guys(10-20 traders) in there every day. I didn't know it came back. Maybe if Baron had made an announcement and given it some more time it would have built up a user base again.

    A recommended firm that allows overnight holds

    I'm not going to tout any firms here, but I can assure you that there are prop firms (other than Bright) that will allow overnights . You're best bet is to make a list and call around for yourself and actually talking to people in biz/dev and risk management. And as to the questions, "whats...
