    Prop Shops

    Exactly, P2 said that its just about the capital. You said it wasn't and that it was about the services. Well, I don't want to pump any firms but I'm sure others can tell you firms that have retail accounts that offer you mentioned. There are firms that have prop and retail on the same floor...

    Prop Shops

    Nitro, I agree with P2. You don't need to go prop to get all that. Capital is the Main reason. You can trade a retail account on a trading floor of daytrading firm and get all that. Daytrading firms provide that and get compensated from the commissions you pay.

    Would like some advice on proprietary trading firms.

    Dude, are you reading my posts? Not once in any of my posts did I say that you should not trade. I have friends that trade prop and said that I wasn't totally against them. They can be a good stepping stone. All I was saying is that you should only consider the reputable ones who can...
