    Pro firm leverage and risk management

    I've commented extensively on this subject regarding real world risk management, and not just theoretical RM. I was stuck with the SLK Redi+ system, which was the worst fate that circumstances could have ever punished me with. There were no effective RM methods available whence one would...

    Bright Trading and Other Pro Shops?

    it seems the marketplace is coming back, large, and it may be time to get your affairs in order. if you've decided to go professional, then do it! if you've decided that perhaps Onsite / AB Watley or other cheaper firms don't offer professional services (bullets, conversions, house capital...

    The bad parts of Pro Trading firms

    Those who keep mashing around about prop vs. retail have never seriously considered, at least their comments don't indicate that they've looked into it seriously. Let's remember, taking and Passing the Series 7 is the first hurdle that bars dozens from entry. After passing that gauntlet...

    Echotrade Seminar

    I heard it was great, from some attendees. Seems that these turks know what the essence of a real firm is, namely competent senior management that knows their product and uses it, not just sells it. I have also heard great things about other prop trading seminars, however, what's to believe...

    Choose Bright or Echo?

    that's a personal question, which has to be asked to those firms respectively. They might boast of their $250M excess capital or not, however, I'm sure that they'll want to know significant volumes about whom they're talking to. If you have size account, then you should be worried about SIPC...

    5x5 (five by five), you and the boys at SCH, if you're making $150,000 per day must be doing some serious size and swinging some big derricks at the docks (shipping analogy for longshoremen). if that's the case, then you have your success to praise you. Pershaps those who have responded to...

    "Money Hold" ? Not at Bright!

    Hey guys, at least you can get a reply from Don Bright, Principal. I've been trying to get stratight answers from what's left of Onsite, now AB Watley, and everybody including their Chief Compliance Officer play dumb. Imagine that. They couldn't even explain the difference between holding...

    Is it me, or does IB's e-mail technical support treat everyone like an doofus?

    so is doofus plural? So, should one be a doofi, and two be doofis, and many be doofus? How would be pluralize many doofi? doofuses? Cheers.... Tech support is a hard service to quantify. What you're going up against is the fact that those hired know computers, software and their...

    trade555 ... self praise stinks. Sch may be good, and a tight environment, but don't presume that someone, or the other posts were asking what/how to pass an interview. Since the markets are dynamic in nature, and represent active-human nature, they will naturally rise to overcome, undo...

    Trading with Tony Oz Scanner - November 2001

    remember, these high risk/reward scenarios works best when one is trading from a double comfortable cushion of profits upon profits and risking (starting from their initial outlays, years ago) 1/1000th % capital. Say that cummulatively, Tony or anyone else has taken 2.5M from the markets, and...

    ECHOTRADE

    How does Echo / Bright / Worldco / Hold Brothers compare with AB Watley-Onsite? Heard that Onsite folded into AB. Why?, anticipation of liability claims over delivering the K1 statements after September 15th?, or other questionable practices? Seems like these concerns over a company folding...
