Jones backs Obama. Mack backs Hillary. The Wall Street shuffle begins.

More specifically, continental US, that is.

Other than the obvious (NYC, Chicago, South Florida) where do props set up shop to take advantage of the talent pool? While I am aware that many to most props have remote traders, so location is a non-issue, this is more about those shops that thrive on in-house trading. Thx

Maybe he actually lost his job like he intimated in his starting post? More likely he couldn't stand the criticism we were giving him.

Read prior threads: it is standard now for all accounts.

The cheapest you will find a 1.5 T1 is 400/month. I don't think the original poster wants to increase his costs 20x. To the OP, is cable available where you are looking? While the price may be 2+ times your current cost, the increased speeds (generally) over DSL should provide more efficient...

A general question about fraudulent activity in your IB account: At the end of the day, you run your daily reports and you see that you have become the victim of recent pump and dump schemes by some Eastern European "rogue trader" (I'll try to keep this professional and not label him/her a...

They do, but they charge for it.

In answer to the original question as to who's the best forex broker, not what's the best product, find a broker that's an ECN, not a MM. There are a few out there, IB is one. So is Hotspot. So is most Currenex. - not all, tho. Esp FXCM - they add pips to the spread. A true ECN does not make...

Exactly.

I learned years ago that I should short a stock a few days aftere it goes public, if the shares are available. Most have their exuberant rally on open, but a few days later, reality sets in. I even saw people doing this during the crazy "can't lose" euphoria of the tech boom. And then there was...

A few years ago I also had my account frozen for review after I changed wire instructions from original instructions used when I intitially set up my account. This was after 2+ yrs of trading. A call to compliance and account was "unfrozen" the next day and I was able to complete my wire. Not...

I think the problem is right here. If you are a brokerage, a non-us entity, you must be registered properly with US agencies. I think you are trying to hide behind the "I'm a broker, DAMN IT!" and proper paperwork, ENTIRE proper paperwork may not be there. Plus, are there more than one owner...

What's so professional about 4 to 1 Intraday Leverage, 2 to 1 Overnight? Firm looks like nothing special.

The room you work with definitely makes a difference. Try this, trade from home, with no distractions, no one to talk to, no one giving you ANY ideas. Within weeks, you'll be begging to return to your current deadwood group. Now imagine it with an active room. The energy is totally different...

As a follow up, SMB Capital is now has their trading floor at the same address as Avatar and they now use Anvil. So, don't know if this means Avatar acquired them or vice versa, or they are just renting space from Avatar. You can see this on their respective web pages.

Avatar uses Lightspeed as well. Or at least they did. Don't know if the Schonfeld/Lightspeed merger changed any of that. Good place, good vibe. Owners "appear" to be ok, but haven't traded with them to verify their honesty. They claim no volume or commitments, so I don't know how that...

Wow, les than a third of the price it was less than 8 months ago. Is NYSE suffering the same percentage effect as well?

Anything to rouse the masses. But then again, the current US administration got it down to a science. Now we see it everywhere. Does the name Chavez ring any bells?

With Assent's limited short list, does that mean we should look at others like Genesis/Laser or Blackwood? I can understand the need for a rock solid platform to trade with, but if you are losing trades because the stock isn't there, what's the point? Lost Trades = lost money.
